About Me
|
"We're all just walking one another home." Ram DassHere Is My Story...I was born and raised in S.E Washington DC. Unfortunately, I was not born into an ideal family or environment. My early childhood was riddled with severe physical & sexual abuse which led to my being placed in foster care at an early age. Subsequently, at the age of 8 I also suffered the traumatic loss of my mother to suicide.
Throughout my childhood and as a young adult Spirit has been a constant source of comfort & support for me. The trauma I endured as a child catalyzed a deep well of empathy and compassion within my heart for the suffering and struggles of others and started me on my own spiritual journey which ultimately led me to a path of healer-ship. |
I am a graduate of Howard University's school of nursing and and also obtained my Master of Social Work degree from Temple University, with a specialization in somatic therapy for survivors of childhood abuse, and/or trauma. Presently, I am working on the completion of my PhD in Clinical Psychology.
In addition to the above, I am a graduate of the Full Spectrum School of Healing in Meadville, PA, founded by Shamanic healer Sandra Barnard. It was at Full Spectrum that I studied energy healing and other alternative, mystical healing modalities and also delved into deep self work to heal from the trauma of my past.
I have traveled extensively and studied with shamanic healers in both the USA and Peru.
Furthermore, my 23 year career as a registered nurse (the last 17 of which have been working with the terminally ill and dying as a hospice nurse), has enhanced the healing services I offer exponentially.
For the past 15 years I have worked one on one with individuals and also facilitated healing workshops designed to aid participants in healing their own psychological, emotional and spiritual wounding resulting from varying forms of childhood trauma.
It gives me tremendous joy to bare witness to the inner transformation of adult survivors of childhood trauma.
You are not destined to remain imprisoned by the pain of your childhood.
At one point in time the only choice you had was to survive, but now as you begin to heal your wounded, inner child, you can thrive!
