A Journey from Collapse to Wholeness
In 2016, my life—as I knew it—collapsed.
My partner passed away.
I received a working diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
My career was in jeopardy.
My home went into foreclosure.
These were not just external events—they were the very pillars holding up my identity. My relationship, my home, my health, my finances—these were the roles and structures I believed gave my life meaning and stability.
And because I had lived so externally referenced—deriving my sense of worth from achievement, external appearances, and being “okay” in the eyes of the world—when these outer forms disintegrated, so did my sense of self.
The ground beneath me gave way.
But in the depths of that disorientation, something unexpected emerged. From within the fractured and fragmented separate self, from the chaotic grief and unraveling trauma, I touched a deep stillness—an unbroken Presence that remained whole and untouched, that had been here at the core of my being. Deep in this vast Stillness, was the peace around which my life fell apart.
The Effulgent Self Within
What I discovered was not a strategy for fixing my life.
What I discovered was who I truly am beneath all roles, labels, and survival strategies.
As the scaffolding of my separate Self fell away, it revealed something eternal: a quiet, luminous knowing untouched by circumstance.
What many spiritual traditions call the soul, the Self, or the ground of Being. This was not about transcending pain—but about transforming through it.
Not about spiritual bypassing—but about spiritual becoming
It was, and still is, a path of embodiment, devotion, and radical honesty.
My Work Today
I created Core-Relate to serve others on their path of healing, awakening, and re-connection—to the wisdom of the body, the intelligence of the heart, and the radiant truth of the soul.
My work integrates:
- Somatic Therapy (Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing® and and embodied mindfulness to release trauma stored in the body
- Contemplative Practice – Meditation and mindful awareness to cultivate presence and deepen connection
- Transformative Soul Coaching – Integrating life’s challenges as portals to awakening and empowered action
- Spiritual Inquiry rooted in Transpersonal Psychology
I walk with those who are ready to shed the weight of survival identities and come home to the unshakable core of who they truly are. Whether you’re navigating trauma, transitions, or a spiritual reckoning, you don’t have to do it alone.
My Philosophy
Healing is not about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about remembering what has never been broken.
We are each born whole—radiant with Love, Peace, and Joy.
But through life, we forget. We protect. We adapt.
Our identities become shaped by what we achieve, avoid, or endure.
At Core-Relate, we gently unwind those protective layers.
We return to the body, the breath, the still point within.
We learn to relate again—to ourselves, to others, to the sacred.
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.”
Rumi
This Is Sacred Work
The breakdown of the Separate Self is not a failure. It is an initiation. When the outer forms dissolve, the inner truth reveals itself.
You are not your story. You are the space in which the story unfolds.
If you are ready to remember who you are beyond survival, identity, and expectation—
I’m here to walk with you, gently, reverently, and powerfully.
Let’s walk this path together—of re-membering, of returning, of radiating.
You are not broken. You are unbecoming. You are Being.
