A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

You're probably on this page because you want to get a better feel for who I am. But before you dive into my specs and past "gold stars," I want to share with you that the most important me (and I think in all of us) is not in those things. 

There was a long stretch of time where I was super high-functioning, outwardly a rockstar... and completely disconnected from my sense of self. 

Despite (and maybe because of) an undiagnosed spinal injury, mercury + lead poisoning, and the passing of my dad (who was my best friend), I was very pain averse, aka good at following the rules, toing the line, being reliable, being impressive. I got really capable of being exactly who people expected me to be.

If you peeled back the curtain though, you would've found me in absolute distress, trying to keep all the plates spinning, working super hard but somehow unable to feel any better. Confronted by external reality and diminishing health, my blinders came off and I realized I had created a life that was incongruent with my morals, my physical and spiritual wellbeing, and what I actually wanted. 

It took the greatest act of faith and all my strength to find a way to crawl my way back to the heart I knew I was inside. It took a lot of backbone and a lot of change. It meant saying goodbye to what I thought was my home and my future. It meant saying goodbye to teachers, communities, and the person I thought I'd marry. 

Now, I live in a place I love, surrounded by who and what I love. Most importantly, I wake up as myself, no longer playing a character or monitoring myself to make sure I'm doing what I was told to do. My voice is different, my choices are different, my outcomes are different. 

Learning how to live on your own terms is something I wish for everyone. We all experience the pressures and the full spectrum of emotions, but these do not have to deny us the ability to be the real fullness of who we are.

My hope is that what we build here finds you at just the right time, and gives you a tangible scaffold to reconnect with your own deepest knowing, ultimately reminding you how profoundly capable you really are and helping you chart a course in your own direction. 

With all my heart,
