But the Hole Dug Deeper First...
After having an incredibly low libido that challenged the intimacy in my long-term relationship, I discontinued the birth control contraceptive. My period went absent for 2 years, and when it finally came back, I was co-opening a plant-based gluten-free café. As Head Chef and Kitchen Manager, I worked long 12-hour workdays on my feet…
...the stress gave me 2-week long periods. Yep, I bled half each month for almost a year!
My OBGYN diagnosed me with estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and high cortisol and offered me either synthetic progesterone or birth control contraceptive as the remedy…
Alarmed and confused, I returned to my love of nutrition as a way to heal my hormones.
I devoted myself to living in ritual with the 4 phases of my cycle and developed recipes to eat for each of these hormonal ebbs and flows. My cycle regulated to an easy 3-5 days of bleeding. My energy returned, my food cravings minimized.
My holistic success story led me to learn how many others were experiencing menstrual health challenges and getting the same suggestions from their OBGYNs.
I became certified as a Women’s Health and Nutrition Coach, founded Modern Goddess Lifestyle, and filled my days with coaching women through my online programs, 1-1 sessions, retreats, and leading Red Tent community circles.
BUT... my old patterns still resurfaced.
Being in so much service, my patterns came back. Out of people-pleasing, I said YES too often in my business and went in to overwhelm.
I began to deplete myself in a whole new way. Overdoing, forcing, pushing through.
My emotional eating patterns came back, even though they were masked with “healthy” foods. My libido continued to suffer.
So, I dug even deeeeeper. I KNEW life could be juicier.
That’s when I discovered the trauma of the womb-space and the sacral chakra energetics that govern the creative, sexual, and fertile energy.
I realized they are all one energy flow and impact each other. This is the foundation of the Juicy Feminine Leadership™ Academy.
I quantum leaped by shifting my mindsets out of unconscious trauma and shameful beliefs about my sexuality and bleeding, cultural conditioning of being a “good womxn”, and tackled my people-pleasing. Embodiment ritual and somatic self-care became my non-negotiables.
That’s when I became fully TURNED ON. Not just the juiciness of my rediscovered libido… but by life itself.
No longer was I pushing, forcing, trying… life was just flowing and I felt so ALIVE in my feminine nature.
My clients had greater transformations because of the energy I brought to our sessions and found deeper clarity in the trainings and guided practices I developed and led.
I became a voice that’s supported thousands of womxn to RECLAIM their POWER from shame, doubt, and unworthiness.
I now live on my dream-home island of Kauai, hosting in-person retreats and online trainings that certify leaders in my online Juicy Feminine Leadership ™Academy into space-holding for womb-space healing with divine feminine holistic practices.
I believe the keys are nutrition for hormones, mindset, and embodiment rituals. Your body knows the way and YOU are the medicine womxn of your healing journey.
I share my dream with you because if you envision something greater for yourself and keep trying, pushing, waiting….
