For much of my life, I felt like I was constantly being measured – by others, by society, and by the impossible standards I set for myself. I learned what it meant to be a “good girl,” a “pretty girl,” and an “intelligent girl.”

Like many, I struggled with insecurity – mentally, emotionally, and physically. I became a perfectionist and a people pleaser. Feeling the pressure within myself and from my environment, I conformed to the constructs and expectations around me – believing that this was the path to becoming my best self. I developed a judgmental and critical inner voice, a voice that constantly pushed me but also held fears, doubts, and shame beneath the surface. I thought that voice was me.

In my early twenties I began to notice a disconnect – a lack of energy and excitement with who I was and what I was doing. I was constantly comparing myself to others, feeling never enough, and trapped in a cycle of overthinking, self-judgment, and emotional exhaustion. No matter how much I tried to be “better,” something still felt off.

Through years of being my own anthropologist–observing, feeling, integrating, and learning – I realized that the parts of myself I had been fighting weren’t flaws to fix; they were pieces of me that needed to be understood.

My inner critic, my emotional triggers, my self-doubt – they weren’t the problem. They were messengers, pointing me toward what needed healing.

This led me to shadow work and self-love – the path of bringing hidden parts of ourselves into awareness rather than rejecting them. Instead of battling myself, I began integrating all parts of me – the light and the shadow. Through this work, I cultivated deep self-trust, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. Life began to feel lighter, easier, and more grounded.

Now, as a Shadow Work & Self-Love Coach, I guide women through the same journey – helping them uncover their patterns, heal emotional wounds, and embrace themselves fully.

Although this is a lifelong process, it has already transformed me in ways I never could have imagined. As I continue embracing all parts of myself – the ones I love and the ones I struggle with – I'm discovering what true freedom feels like.

And the more inner peace I’ve found, the more I’ve been drawn to simplify my life on the outside too – clearing the noise, slowing down, and aligning with what matters most. This is the deeper why behind all the work I do: not just healing your inner world, but helping you live with more ease, intention, and lightness – inside and out.

If I can support you on your own path of self-discovery, shadow work, and self-love, I would be truly grateful. 💛
