-I was 34, married with 3 beautiful kids and working a career as a child and youth care practitioner in the education system. I had reached what I was taught to believe the idea of "success" so when I started feeling unfulfilled by my career, guilty for not being around for my family more and questioning leaving....the "are you fuckin crazy" thoughts started to creep in.
- a lot of "you can't leave. your family depends on this income." "I'm the only one with a pension and benefits" "your dad is so proud of you and would be so disappointed if you left this, after all the hard work, money and time you've invested."
-but my soul felt like it was dying. I looked at my career like a marriage and asked myself, would i stay in a marriage that i was this unhappy in? Fuck NO.
-so I turned to Reiki (energy work) to help me gain clarity on what to do. This opened up a whole new world to me.
-Learned about the chakra system, where I was holding emotions and how that was creating blocks in my life, relationships, and fulfillment.
-I dove head first into personal growth and development, specifically energetics. I wanted to teach all of this to my kids! They were my why!
- so i quietly started investing in a mentor who taught me the power of reiki, receiving my certifications to teach, all while still working full time for the school system and raising my little family. It wasn't easy but it felt so right!
- I started going to therapy and working on myself, really getting to the root of my inner child and unlearning a lot of limiting beliefs and patterns. This combo of therapy and reiki was AMAZING
-then i got hurt at work and had to be home. That's when everything changed. The energy of my home shifted. no more rushing, no more before and after care, no more stress and overwhelm. just the ability to see what life "could" be. Calm, easy, present.
-that's when i knew i had to leave the 9-5. Creating Soulfully Connected was the aligned move and it was two-fold: 1. to have something that allows me to be home with my family more, involved in my kids lives, giving energy to the things that i value most and 2. to fulfill my purpose in sharing the power of reiki, to impact women to fully own who they are, reclaim their worth and create a life that fucking lights them up!!!!
- So here is Soulfully Connected, almost 3 years later! I offer individual energetic alignment sessions, reiki certification programs, group and individual mentorships. I embody everything I teach, I have created a life that is so aligned, that gives me freedom, to be with my family, to travel and to live the life that I desire! and i couldn't be more fulfilled!!
