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.

Counseling vs. Coaching: A Holistic Perspective
In the realm of mental health and personal growth, it's essential to understand the distinctions between counseling and coaching. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Somatic Coach, and Breathwork Facilitator, I combine these modalities to offer a holistic approach to healing.
Counseling and its Focus:
Counseling primarily centers around mental health, emotional well-being, and the treatment of mental illness. It's a therapeutic process led by licensed Mental Health Professionals, aimed at assessing, diagnosing, and addressing mental health concerns. In therapy, the focus often lies in identifying and alleviating symptoms, delving into the past, including childhood memories and trauma, to promote emotional healing.
Coaching and Its Forward Momentum:
On the other hand, coaching takes a future-oriented and action-focused approach. It emphasizes personal growth, self-discovery, and the development of skills and habits conducive to success. Somatic depth coaching, in particular, propels individuals toward wholeness by healing from the inside out. While some aspects of past memories and traumas may be explored, it's always with an eye on the present and how to move forward toward specific life-changing goals. This coaching style gets to the core of your current challenges and helps release any blocked aspects of your self that may be holding you back.
In choosing counseling, life coaching, or breathwork, your journey with me will be a unique, empowering, and transformative experience. It's an adventure filled with self-discovery and healing. This is your life, and you have the power to craft your own self-masterpiece. Together, we will break through limiting beliefs and pave the way for you to connect with your true, authentic self, ultimately leading to a more fulfilled and purpose-driven life.

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, overall wellbeing, and an embodied connection to self.

Transition is a journey and Transformation is a result of that journey…
Transitions become Transformations when you take the leap!
Transformational change occurs when our foundational understanding of ourselves and the world around us significantly shifts. When we go beyond the bounds of our current understanding and awareness. We cannot think our way through this change; we have to experience our way into it.
I work with individuals experiencing whole life transitions, who are ready to take the leap and embark on their own personal journey of transformation while seeking personal, spiritual, and professional growth.
Experience the sacred process of exploring and expanding your emotional, physical, and spiritual awareness. Re-Descover the true essence of who you are, and live your soul-aligned life. Move forward with your desired life in terms of abundance, relationship with self and others, expansion, healing, and personal well-being. This process guides you on a powerful journey toward personal freedom, self-discovery, life fulfillment and self-transformation.
