Here's why I help you master your personal relationships
I wasn’t always clear and confident in my relationships, and definitely wasn’t in a position to offer support around them to others. In fact, intimate relationships used to be the source of my greatest suffering. It was so much easier to get my joy from my work, which I was always passionate about.
I had married the “right” guy but unfortunately he wasn’t right for me. So I ended our marriage in my mid-40’s and vowed to figure out this relationship thing once and for all.
When the love of my life, Patrick, and I met, neither of us was looking for a relationship. But we were each looking for personal growth and deeper, more authentic connections with others. We agreed to practice having vulnerable conversations and before long we fell in love.
Each of us has done “the right thing” by society's standards and have tended to ignore our own feelings to be there for others. So when we got into an epic fight over baby carrots after a couple of years of living together, we both saw it as a win!
He’d been secretly wondering if there was room to express the full range of his emotions in our relationship. We were happy to find out I could both provoke, and handle, his anger without being scared by it. Our fight didn’t lead him to be angrier, it led him to be more present and relaxed with me because he knows all of him is welcome with me.
We’re co-creating a relationship designed to hold all of us: our depth, brilliance, sexiness, and playfulness, along with all of our messiness.
You can have this kind of relationship, too! It just takes willingness to get curious about what makes each of you tick and implementing the skills I teach.
I grew up participating in three cultures, American, Venezuelan, and Swedish, speaking three languages and feeling like an outsider in all of them.
I spent a lot of time observing people so I could do the right thing and try to fit in by doing what was expected of me. Eventually, trying to be the person others wanted me to be got too exhausting. I had to figure out who I really am.
I've worked for the last 30 years as a massage therapist, Chinese Medicine practitioner, poet, and finally, as a relationship whisperer for driven creatives.
I'm here to say there's nothing wrong with being a clear, powerful, and successful badass in parts of your life and not having it together in others. You deserve exquisite support to integrate your struggles with your skills and innate wisdom.
I believe in awareness, self-love, and radical self-responsibility.
I believe that connection with others is a necessary nutrient.
I believe that relationships are a vehicle for individual personal growth and awakening.
I believe that everyone has the right to live their own life instead of the life handed to them by their background.
I believe our innate glory is revealed when we drop the stuff blocking its shine.
I believe in the beauty and power of the ocean and the creatures that live in it.
I believe in staying curious.
I believe we don’t have to wait until we get a chronic illness, or things get bad at work, or a loved one dies, to make the changes our deepest self wants us to make.
I believe accessing your spiritual essence is the key to transforming limiting beliefs about yourself and what you’re capable of.
I believe experiencing the depth of who you are (however you describe it) is the path to wholeness, personal power, and abiding joy.
I believe in playfulness, sensual pleasure, and being so real it makes you sqeamish.
I believe in choices and our freedom to make them.
I believe in love as the core of what we are and what we’re here to express.
