"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." -Kahlil Gibran We often hear about wounded healers in the healing arena. These wounded healers can sometimes offer a bad reputation to the healing community because they are trying to heal their wounds through their clients. However, I believe behind every healer, there is a story (or several) of woundedness. It is through these wounds, these trials and tribulations, that we are able to serve our clients. If I did not have a story with some amount of pain, I would not be able to connect with my clients. I was born to serve so I decided this blog would be a great way to help others realize they are not alone. By sharing some of the things I have come through, I am attempting to increase hope. And, even if no one ever reads this blog, I am practicing what I teach- that it is by giving space to both the positive and the negative that life begins to become more manageable and less exhausting. So, this wounded healer is going to share the journey that has brought me here today as well as the speedbumps that continue to come along the way. Knowing always, that when I step into the room with a client, I am in service to them and I serve from the scars, not the wounds. The same is true on here- I serve from the scars, not the wounds to help others know they are not alone.

The sweetness of doing NOTHING

It feels like I have not blogged for ages. I always want to go online to write but find that if I don’t get to a topic right away, it no longer feels relevant. But, after watching the movie “Eat, … Continue reading

Fearless? Is there such a thing?

I recently attended the first annual “Fearless Women, Fearless Wisdom” event. It was amazing to me how the word fearless evoked so much within me. I started to question whether I would be able to label myself as fearless. Upon … Continue reading

From barriers to boundaries

As I was thinking about what to post this week, I started to think about balances between two extremes. Maybe instead of speaking “from the scars”, perhaps I can be the “balance girl”. I think I am always thinking about … Continue reading

Much appreciation

I have a really bad habit of not sharing when I am feeling grateful or appreciative. Sometimes it can be easier to address with the people closest to me when I am feeling sad or angry. However, I assume people … Continue reading
