Your faith doesn’t have to cost you your
vitality, relationships, quality of life, or joy! 

This is the whole point of the incarnation,
death, and resurrection of Jesus.
You can be fully human AND divine!

I am here to help you
​EMBODY A MORE LIBERATING FAITH! 

My Journey

I've been on a lifelong journey to make faith practical. That's why I got the same degree as a Catholic priest, three years focused on applying academic theology to real life. But the more I served, the more I learned that my Master of Divinity wasn't enough. It didn't teach me how to be present in my body and honor its needs.

I stayed in a piecemeal approach to wellness. Faith was in one compartment and wellness in another all the while I continued to over-give of myself through service to others. I am a mystic at heart, natural bridge-builder, and spiritual innovator who learned the hard way that the greatest impact in service comes from prioritizing first my own well-being.

Through my own recovery from depletion, IBS, psoriasis, and grief-induced depression, I learned to integrate my Catholic faith with embodied wellness practices. I discovered my God-given shape and learned to hold it without apology.
​
Now, I'm dedicated to helping other women of faith step into the same integration where your spirituality includes your body, your needs matter as much as others', and your joy is holy too. My approach combines my Master of Divinity and Master of Science in Development Studies with over 600 hours of certification in yoga, Ayurvedic lifestyle coaching, reiki, and behavioral science.

MY BELOVED

Endless
resurrections
await you!

Before I embodied a liberating faith,
​I never quite felt like I belonged. 

I didn’t fit the shapes I saw of others who like me earned the same degree as a Catholic priest. The same was true when I was in wellness and nonprofit circles. I either felt too “Catholic-y” or not “Catholic-y” enough.  Same pattern, no matter what group. 
The real issue? I hadn't learned to own my unique calling to bridge these worlds. I didn't belong to myself by owning my unique God-given shape.

Getting better at feeling and taking aligned action
​became one of my highest forms of devotion. 

Jesus felt. He had an emotional body and life. He rejected none of his emotions. His emotions guided
him to take the next aligned steps (thoughts, feelings, speech, actions). This prevented the energy
from getting ​stuck inside of him causing inner conflict. 

Grief initiated me into this teaching and practice. Before that, I had learned to solve everything in my head instead of feeling it in my body, which created inner conflict. With professional support and lots of consistent practice, miracles started to happen. As I began to reclaim my power and trust my body's wisdom, everything shifted. Grief related ailments like IBS, psoriasis, and depression started fading into the background. New professional opportunities unfolded, including this one.

Integrating faith into all areas of life sustains me
​and facilitates my growth. 

I used to compartmentalize my faith. Faith mostly meant serving others, especially those on the margins. It was a “doing” for others kind of faith. Faith was separate from how I nourished and tended my body, mind, and spirit.

Studying Ayurveda and yoga changed all that. I developed a personal relationship with nature via a rhythmic lifestyle based on the energetics of the day, season, moon, and time of life. How I treated and saw myself became a matter of faith in action.

Rituals throughout the day anchor me. ​Decision making now centers on belief in a generous God who wants me to be me and delights in my joy. 

 Wisdom Worth Remembering:

"If you're too good, no life can happen.
It's not your goodness that will liberate you...
It's the joyfulness of your own nature."
