How my journey began… and where I’m at now

Hello and welcome!

I wear many hats in my life- wife, mom, daughter, sister, therapist, empath, healer… the list goes on and on. Opening a business for energy healing, coaching and private practice therapy was NEVER on my to-do list…

But things change when we decide to invest in ourselves.

I have been a mental health therapist since I graduated with my Masters from Eastern Washington University in 2011 and haven’t stopped working since. It wasn’t until fall of 2022 after being introduced to The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson that things in my world truly started to shift. I had to figure out if the book was legit or too good to be true and the best thing happened- I found out first hand that it was legit! I sought professional help with a healer that was trained in the Emotion Code amongst other energy healing modalities and did 3 sessions back to back. I was ALL IN after that.

My incredible husband purchased the Emotion Code certification for me for Christmas in 2022 because he noticed the change in me from this work. I finished the course in less than a month. Then I finished the Body Code certification in a little over a month. The sad part was that I wasn’t able to incorporate it into my work in my full-time job like I had planned (state agencies are FAR too picky and close-minded about non-traditional modalities). So I had to find a way to share this with the world…

Intentional Healing PNW was born in March 2023 for that very reason.

Fast forward to early 2024- I had put in SO much work into myself that I felt… STRANGE. People I used to vibe with, I no longer felt connected with. I actually WANTED to go work out. Things that I used to enjoy indulging in (sweets, eating fast food, drinking, ect…) lost their luster. I craved peace, health and comfort. I felt terrible going into work everyday. I was so confused- I was working on myself and why were things feeling MORE chaotic?

I finally figured it out- THESE ARE ALL SIGNS THAT I WAS HEALING.

In February 2024 I finally mustered up the courage to quit my cushy state job. I somehow felt safe enough to leave that security (with the MASSIVE support of my husband, family and friends) and have started on my new adventure. Intentional Healing PNW is now going to incorporate my two passions- therapy and energy healing.

I was able to open my therapy private practice at the end of May 2024 and I was so desperate for clients (and focused on income… old habits die hard) that I began taking any/all clients that were put on my schedule. It didn’t take long to have those old feelings of discomfort come back… so I knew I had to act quickly before I got too stuck. I needed to figure out who my ideal clients were and learn to direct those that aren’t aligned with me to other therapists…

Easier said than done.

I somehow manifested exactly what I needed- a business coach that helps non-traditional therapists incorporate energy healing and other alternative modalities into therapy in an ethical way while working with our niche population. YES! I joined the Black Sheep Therapist collective with Dr. Tina Vitolo in September 2024 and my path just keeps getting more clear and more aligned!

I am so incredibly grateful AND terrified of this new adventure, but I’m leaning into the discomfort because I know I have been shown this path since it is for my highest good. I will be able to be home more with my family and still do the work that fills my cup since helping people heal on a deeper level is my calling.
