Why I do this work
Healing is not about fixing yourself
In 2019, I left my career in commercial real estate in New York after years of seeing how easily stress, burnout and disconnection become normalized. My own healing journey led me to hypnotherapy—a tool that helped me make peace with my past, release self-sabotaging patterns and rewrite limiting stories.
That experience shaped the way I work today. Surgery can bring uncertainty, vulnerability and a temporary loss of control. My role is to help you create the emotional safety needed to move through that experience with greater steadiness, trust and self-compassion.
A little more about me
I’m originally from Australia and now call Mexico home, where I live with my husband and our purebred Mexican street dog.
Outside sessions, you’ll often find me on a padel court, trekking a trail, swimming or tucked into a café with a good book and coffee.
