The Journey Behind Body • Spirit • Mind & Trusting Konnections
My healing journey began in 2007—a turning point that reshaped my identity, my purpose, and ultimately the birth of Body • Spirit • Mind and Trusting Konnections.
After a life transition from career woman to mom and moving, I found myself emotionally depleted, anxious, depressed, and deeply disconnected from my sense of self. Something in me knew I needed to reclaim my life from the inside out.
I began lifting weights and doing cardio several days a week. As I moved my body, long-suppressed emotions began to surface. During February 2007, I looked in the mirror and felt alive—perhaps for the first time in years. Physical movement awakened emotional truth.
Shortly after, in June 2007, I began psychotherapy, and the combination of bodywork, meditation, and weekly therapy became the foundation of my transformation.
Over the next several years, I devoted myself to unraveling my past and understanding my nervous system, attachment style, family history, and the parts of me that never had a chance to fully develop. I learned about the false self, mirroring, validation, empathy, personality structures, trauma responses, and the mind-body connection.
Volunteering in the community pulled me toward purpose, and I made the decision to pursue a career in Social Work.
Between 2007 and 2017, I experienced deep integration. Movement, meditation, nutrition, sleep hygiene, emotional processing, and spiritual exploration rebuilt me piece by piece. My identity strengthened. My voice returned. My nervous system settled. My purpose became clear.
By 2017, I was ready—not just to heal, but to lead.
I developed the Body • Spirit • Mind framework, integrating:
Movement, breathwork, somatic grounding
Meditation, inner-child connection, intuitive wisdom
Psychotherapy, trauma processing, emotional regulation
What helped restore my own life became the foundation of what I now offer clients.
As I grew emotionally, spiritually, and physically, one insight became undeniable: before the Body • Spirit • Mind transformation can occur, a person must first have a trusting, safe, dependable support network. Without this essential foundation, deep healing cannot fully transpire.
This awareness led to the birth of Trusting Konnections in 2021—a therapeutic space dedicated to safety, authenticity, and connection as the gateway to transformation.
From this vision, the Body • Spirit • Mind approach evolved into an integrative psychotherapy practice and healing community grounded in trauma-informed care, nervous-system education, boundaries, attachment, emotional processing, and deep personal transformation.
Whether through individual therapy, groups, meditation, or the Integrative IOP program, I help clients reconnect with their true selves, release old patterns, and cultivate lives rooted in purpose and resilience.
My story is not just a personal journey—it is the blueprint behind the holistic, compassionate, body-based healing model that now supports others in reclaiming their wholeness.
