The devastation of losing someone you love is an opportunity to find yourself.
— Chel

I truly believed growing up with divorced parents that split amicably, that divorce didn’t have to be devastating or drama filled. I thought it was hard, sad and lonely not having my dad there every night with me, but I only knew my experience of my parents remaining friends after their split. I didn’t have anyone in my circle of friends that were divorced. I had no reference to the heart wrenching pain that ensues when your heart is broken until after I experienced it myself.

Wow! What a shock. After all, I had a committed marriage of twelve years, we had two sons that we had committed to love, protect and care for every day; I couldn’t imagine that divorce was in our future. From the outside we looked like we had it all. We were sharing time as family, on the go constantly and very involved with our boys. Devastation still doesn’t quite capture what the experience really was when it came to a screeching halt (insert breaking car crash sound here). Infidelity, emotional detachment, verbal abuse, crazy making and a complete destruction of any level of security was gone in an instant.

I know what it feels like to go through a break-up from a long-term relationship or divorce because I have been there. I remember the feelings of doubts, insecurities and legal jargon confusion that sent me into a downward spiral.

I was alone with no family in town and unsure who I could trust. Where would I find resources, help, guidance, support and some hope that there is a way through the nightmare? I found it through prayer, inner work, tools and techniques I teach my clients today. I combine what I used with continued training, constant study of neuroplasticity, health and mindfulness tools to add to my toolbox to help clients wherever they are today.

It is my passion to help others find their own voice, feel like themselves again and build a life they truly enjoy with confidence, peace, joy and passion. It is possible. I can help you find your voice and become a strong advocate for yourself.
