About me
After a career in swimming and then as an executive with some of the top fitness and health brands in the world, I realized something was missing from my daily fulfillment of life. Not only that but my body was feeling physically beat and drained.
While massage, trigger point, and various physical release techniques helped my body feel better, it was an energy worker and fellow Fascial Stretch Therapist who was able to release tension in the body through finding the root emotional cause… My mind was blown.
After experiencing this shift in perspective that emotions could be manifesting as our physical pain, I felt a strong calling to explore, educate, and then share these gifts with others. I began to explore more modalities and education for my own healing journey.
These days I deep dive my subconscious through breathwork and emotional release practices, focus on moving energy and allowing emotions to flow so that mind, body, and spirit are aligned and I can be the most authentic version of myself, and share my experience with others so they may do the same.
Ever had a thorn in your foot?
Like one that is really deep and almost touching nerves. It doesn’t hurt looking at it, but when someone touches it, you wince from the pain.
What would you do with this thorn? Would you leave it in and build protection around it? After all, it only hurts when someone touches it. So why take it out, right?
But…
We would take it out. Every time.
And yet, when it comes to our emotions and our own psyche…
We leave them in.
Then we build walls around them, with more and more walls being built constantly in our lives.
And so we shut down from the outside world. Because every comment, every look, every failed project or relationship, is too “painful”. We start the stories..
When I get this ONE thing… the perfect relationship, house, job, raise, clothes, car, etc.. I will be happy.
How often has that actually worked out?!
NEVER.
So why don’t we just take out the thorn in our psyche? No one has taught us how
Until now…
“Get comfortable with the uncomfortable, make the unconscious conscious, unlock what is stopping you from being”
Here is how it unfolded with me…
I was always the nice guy. I ensured everyone else was okay first. I ensured peace was kept. I ensured I was “perfect” in relationships, in friendships, and in work.
I bought the clothes I thought people wanted me to wear, I said the things I thought people wanted to hear, I didn’t share anything wrong cuz if I did, that wasn’t perfect.
I had great friends, and good relationships, yet I felt lonely underneath it, and never knew why.
Years down the road, in a completely sober Emotional Release Session, I realized this:
I never felt good enough for ME.
And this started when I was a kid. It was some moment where I UNCONSCIOUSLY chose, based on how my dad reacted in that moment, that I had to be perfect to receive love.
Otherwise, I was not worthy.
And that deep rooted shame was carried into life.
This is the thorn. The original root. From there my ENTIRE LIFE was built around this thorn.
It starts small; a look from a fellow student in school and you change how you act. An outfit made fun of in college and we change how we dress, a mistake on a project at work and we are afraid to try new projects, a rejection from a potential romantic partner, and we stay alone or settle.
And we can look at each one of those and “try” to get over them, which is what I did, through years of personal development courses.
Or we can get to the root, and reprogram that moment the thorn was created.
And that is what we do in our time together.
