My Journey

 My path to healing began long before I ever knew what healing really meant.


Growing up, I experienced seasons of instability, uncertainty, and circumstances that asked me to grow up quickly. I learned to adapt in the ways I knew how. I became the “good girl,” the helper, the peacemaker. I learned to read the room, anticipate the needs of others, and make myself small when it felt safer to do so.


But underneath that people-pleasing exterior, I was deeply struggling. I carried a sensitivity and depth I didn’t yet know how to understand, let alone nurture. I became disconnected from myself and began making choices from a place of pain, searching for ways to cope with feelings I didn’t yet have the tools to hold.


By my mid-teens, alcohol became one of the ways I learned to numb what I didn’t yet know how to process.

Looking back, I don’t see a broken girl. I see a young woman doing the best she could with the tools she had. And that understanding became one of the first doorways into my own healing.


For nearly a decade, I cycled through self-destruction, shame, and emotional shutdown. I felt directionless, anxious, depressed, and trapped inside my own mind. I didn’t know how to stop repeating the same patterns, or how to come back to myself.


My healing wasn’t a single breakthrough. It was slow, messy, uncomfortable, and deeply human. But over time, with support, tools, and a willingness to look inward, everything began to shift. 


Breathwork, energy healing, and intuitive mentorship didn’t just help me cope, they gave me life again. They brought me back into my body. They helped me release the heaviness I had carried for so long. They showed me that healing is not about becoming perfect, it’s about coming into wholeness.


I’m not free from shame or challenges, I still meet my edges. But today, I love myself more freely and fully than I ever have. I no longer live in survival mode. I live a life that feels honest, grounded, and aligned. And most importantly: I learned how to guide others through their own returning, too.


High Water Healing was born from that mission.
To help women feel safe in their bodies.
To guide them through emotional release and reconnection.
To remind them that they are capable of healing, even when it feels impossible.


My journey is ongoing. Yours is too. And I’d be honored to walk beside you.

 You don’t have to navigate your healing alone.

My Training

 I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Women’s Studies from Metropolitan State University of Denver. I am a certified Reiki Master, Trauma-informed Coach, and Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator.


Beyond my formal education, my work is shaped by years of immersive personal healing and professional development. I’ve completed transformative mindset and embodiment trainings, spent over eight years in traditional therapy, and have learned deeply from lived experience, navigating adversity, trauma, and inner reconstruction. These layers of learning allow me to hold space with compassion, clarity, and a trauma-informed perspective.


While my services are trauma-informed and supportive, I am not a licensed therapist, and my work is not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment.

My Value as a Healer

With over 150+ transformative client experiences, I’ve had the honor of guiding women through deep healing, helping them reclaim clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. This work is sacred to me. Turning my own pain into light allows me to illuminate the path for others with empathy and devotion.


I hold strong spiritual beliefs while honoring all paths. While much of my work supports women, I also create space for the healing of humanity in all forms, including the masculine. I am an ally to all identities and orientations, and I welcome every expression of authentic truth.


As a highly sensitive and intuitive guide, I bring empathy, compassion, and deep energetic awareness into every session. I connect with your energy with discernment and care, offering insights that support your highest good and deepest healing.


My work weaves together energy healing, breathwork, meditation, intuitive channeling, dreamwork, astrology, nature, and personal development practices, each chosen intentionally to support your emotional, energetic, and spiritual wellbeing.


If you’re ready to explore your own healing journey, I would be honored to walk beside you.
