About Us

After my daughter’s diagnosis, I started seeing life differently. I realized I was spending more time with work than with the people I valued most, and the constant unknown path of each day began to unearth deep fears I held inside. My coping skills no longer served as a sense of safety, even within myself. As I searched within, I  discovered how deeply connected we all are, and how we show up in life can have a major impact. I create spaces where individuals can come as they are, be raw, real, and vulnerable. A space where it’s okay to feel the full weight of our emotions, speak what’s on our hearts, and to seek light, together. 

I knew I couldn’t continue living in constant anxiety and fear. The amount of energy I spent on trying to control everything around me, in order to avoid pain, was more than I had the capacity for. I, like many caregivers, realized I had slowly allowed my needs (mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical) fall down in priority. With support, I started shifting my mindset, learning to set boundaries and prioritize real self-care, not the weekend away kind,  but the tough, uncomfortable, necessary kind. Releasing my pride and asking for help was a turning point. I gained a deeper understanding of what it means to live, love, and be present in each day. And while I still slip back into old ways, I can give myself grace and love, that brings me back to the present. I’m committed to facing my hard truths, while I continue to learn and grow.  

At the same time, I feel it is a part of my responsibility to bring awareness around imbalances (and yes, I’m a  Libra ⚖︎) in how our world has been built. I’m committed to advocating for change, challenging outdated  stigmas and labels around both visible and invisible disabilities, and embracing the idea of “different abilities.”  The world may not be ready, but here I come with open arms..
