Why Soul of the Lotus
The lotus flower begins its growth from its roots deep in the mud and murky waters of the earth, far away from the sun. With perseverance, the lotus continues to rise up through the mud and the muck, emerges from the water, rises up to the light of the sun, and blossoms into the world.
The lotus offers hope and strength to those struggling in their daily lives. It shows us that we too, as humans, can rise up from the “mud” in our own lives, overcome difficulties, and connect to the light that radiates within us.
As living beings, I view humans in the same light as the lotus and work from this framework with my clients. I offer my clients a safe space to explore their uniqueness as they begin and continue their process of growth. By being present with my clients, I support them as they navigate and pave their way through the hardships and struggles they are encountering.
Using one’s own innate healing wisdom, we are able to to release, heal, grow, and transform. We are able to root into our inner self, heal from the inside out, align with our highest self, and transform into who we are meant to be in this lifetime. This process allows the discovery of inner strength, self-love, and the emergence into one’s true, authentic self.

Therapy vs. Coaching: A Holistic Perspective
In the journey of mental health and personal growth, understanding the distinctions between therapy and coaching can help you choose the path that best serves your needs. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Somatic Coach, and Certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, I integrate these modalities to offer a holistic approach to healing and transformation.
Therapy:
Your Journey to Inner Healing, Emotional Freedom, and Renewed Resilience
Therapy is a space for emotional healing and support, helping you navigate life's challenges—whether you're processing past experiences, managing stress, or working through significant life transitions. It is a therapeutic process led by licensed professionals, designed to assess, diagnose, and address mental health concerns. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for exploring emotions, gaining clarity around struggles, and building resilience. While therapy often involves exploring past experiences, it is equally about supporting you through the present moment. Whether you're seeking guidance during a tough time, navigating grief or career transitions, or addressing mental health challenges, therapy offers tools for emotional regulation and personal growth, restoring balance and helping you move forward with confidence.
Coaching:
Align Your Vision, Empower Your Authentic Self, & Live with Intention
Coaching takes a forward-focused, action-oriented approach to help you unlock your potential and achieve specific goals. It emphasizes personal growth, self-discovery, and creating meaningful change in your life. Somatic Depth Coaching, in particular, blends body-based awareness with inner exploration to support healing from the inside out. While we may touch on past experiences, the primary focus is on the present moment and how to move toward a more aligned, purpose-driven future. Coaching is about empowering you to step into your fullest potential, removing blockages, and realigning with your authentic self.
Breathwork:
You are the Healer. Your Breath is the Catalyst.
Breathwork—specifically trauma-informed breathwork, hypno-breathwork, and hypnotherapy—is a powerful tool for releasing stored emotions, energetic blockages, and limiting beliefs. By guiding you into deep states of relaxation and presence, breathwork restores emotional, physical, and energetic balance, allowing for profound healing, greater clarity, and a deeper connection to your true self.
When integrated with therapy or coaching, breathwork accelerates transformation by facilitating the release of emotional blockages and empowering you to step into a life of alignment and purpose. Experience the power of transformative breathwork for a soulful awakening.

Whether you choose counseling, coaching, or breathwork, working with me offers a uniquely integrative experience tailored to your individual needs. Together, we’ll embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, breaking free from limiting beliefs, releasing emotional blockages, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
Your journey is uniquely yours, and you hold the power to create a life that reflects your deepest desires and fullest potential.
With the right tools and support, you can release old patterns, cultivate resilience, and craft a life of fulfillment, alignment, and purpose.

Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful practice that involves conscious and intentional breathing to promote physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
The breath becomes a tool for self-exploration and inner healing.
During breathwork, you intentionally change your breathing pattern in a conscious and systemic way.
This allows you to bring awareness to your breath and body, and assist in processing emotions and trauma, and decreasing levels of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
Breathe for awareness, healing, relaxation, wellbeing, and an embodied connection to self. Discover the inner power of your breath.
