About Me & All Is Well-Being

All Is Well-Being was conceptualized many years ago after I completed a training in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. Ready to start my own practice using that modality and dance/movement therapy, life steered me toward the nonprofit realm instead. I quickly became absorbed into the world of helping pregnant and parenting women in recovery from substance use disorders.

​

After a fulfilling and at times grueling and exhausting 8 years, I felt ready to move back to my initial dream of starting my own practice. This time I had just completed a health coach certification through Health Coach Institute. Leaning on personal experience, I set out to assist health and wellness professionals who were suffering from burnout. Things were just picking up when I found out I was pregnant.

​

Pregnancy was a difficult time for me. Physically I felt pretty terrible, but what was worse were the mental health complications that came with it. I was severely depressed and having regular panic attacks. Long story short, I struggled through each day until my son was about 8 months old. I was stuck for a long time. With a lot of soul searching, healing, and help, I was able to reemerge from the bottom of the well with greater clarity and openness. I came back to my body. I worked with parts that were  blocking me that had been there since childhood through powerful IFS work and the integration of experiences had in non-ordinary states of consciousness. It was hard to see when I was at the bottom, but I believe I was there to learn and reemerge as transformed and whole. The motherhood journey can do that.

​

Now on the other side, of both burn out and the darkness that came with the perinatal period, it is clear to me that my purpose is to help others who are blocked, feeling stuck in their lives, and want to reconnect to their bodies, their true Selves, and their worlds more authentically and with ease and grace. When we can learn to listen to our parts that block us and work with them instead of against, we can begin to live this life to the fullest. I sincerely want that for each and every one of us.
