Growing up in American culture of keep-busy and do-something, I spent years striving for a better life. I beat up on myself for not being more calm or more together. I took another self-help book's suggestions. Basically, what I did, in the spirit of good intentions, was to harm myself by rejecting myself in the moment. 

Growing up in Hawaiian culture of Aloha and deep compassion, I have spent years digesting and metabolizing the trauma of my earlier years. I take deep breaths and slow down. I practice yoga on the beach and paddle on the ocean. Basically, what I do, in the spirit of awareness and acceptance, is to seek truth and beauty in Self, Other, and Surroundings in each moment. 

Aiming high, diving deep and living an extraordinary life of holistic relational health is a path I continue on today. As a published author, trained psychotherapist, certified addictions counselor, and loving and devoted wife and mother, I walk my talk of healthy relationships. I weave the powerful trainings from Addictions Recovery, Relational Healing, and Contemplative Practice into the ARC of Connection.

Serving others, I consider myself a "nudge master." In a sense, I look for and listen to your own inner wisdom and nudge you back to your true nature and to your own inner guidance system. I do not have answers for you, you already do. Together, we craft a vision for your ideal relationships; with Self, Other, and Spirit. Unhooking from destructive patterns, sealing energy leaks and addictions, healing generational trauma, and relating to your embodied Self in the present moment are possible.

I offer a 15-min free heart-storming session. If it's a good fit, you choose what suits your needs of the 3 levels of connecting. (1) Laser-love 20 minutes. Cutting to the core of the matter. (2) Power hour of guidance. (3) And finally a 180-minute deep dive: Centering. Breathing. Writing. Visioning. Identifying the challenges and strengths in your relationships.

Living an extraordinary life while surviving trauma and thriving as a wife, mother, and healer.
