I’m going to spill my guts here to tell you why I am so passionate about supporting others in their journey of emotional healing. 

I know what it’s like to live with out-of-control emotions… the kind where rare periods of relief would evaporate as soon as somebody would say or do something – or an errant though would poke me and I was, once again, caught in a tsunami of emotional flooding. 

I spent decades looking for relief. Talk therapy allowed me to talk about my pain and what caused it and while it felt good to be witnessed it didn’t affect big changes. I tried the quiet sitting of mindfulness meditation repeatedly but eventually abandoned it because of my relentless pounding thoughts and dissociation. 

There were countless New Age seminars, spiritual retreats and Jungian elucidations. “That didn’t work, that didn’t work, that didn’t work.” Of course it wasn’t that black-and-white. I’d get excited and pick-up things and then eventually let them go as the old default thoughts would cloud over that particular ray of hope. Yet I stumbled forward despite the despair. I trusted that there was some dim beacon within me that kept me lifting and peering under every rock, saying, “This could be the solution!”  

If you’re anything like me, I became a seeker because I was searching for relief from suffering. But for others, perhaps you, the journey might not be as deeply rooted in trauma – perhaps it’s about addressing bothersome concerns or simply exploring life’s mysteries.

Discovering how to process & release emotional pain 

In 2014, I encountered the healing method that ended My Search and has since helped thousands of others. It’s a revolutionary discovery that emotions are an essential part of our very accurate sensory system; they are a source of information to avoid trouble, heal the past, and help access the peace and happiness that are the goal of every being. 

Through this work we learn what emotions are and why they are “bothering” us. We can then intuitively drop in to feel them by accessing our invisible inner life through active breath work and expressive body movements. Through this Emotional Liberation method, we process and release the emotional pain and the trauma that underpins it, whether it’s a little or a lot. As an emotions therapist, I have found that for many, the judicious use of psilocybin supports and amplifies this process. 

This remarkable program of emotional healing catalyzed me to drop my work as a health editor (I’m a Registered Dietitian / Nutritionist) and television producer and invest my time – my life – in supporting others in releasing their destructive and self-defeating patterns.

Teaching this efficient and effective portal to healing, whether there are areas in your life that simply need tending to or there are deeper issues you would like to explore, is my passion and one that I want to share with you in our time together in the rejuvenating environment of Southern Portugal. It’s my honor to do this work, to help you identify your road blocks, heal, raise your vibration, transform and live your best life now!
