My Story

Healing has never been just my profession. It has been my practice.

 

One of the most influential concepts I've encountered comes from Buddhism: dukkha—the understanding that suffering is an inevitable part of being human. Whether it appears as physical pain, grief, illness, uncertainty, disappointment, or simply the awareness that life is constantly changing, each of us will encounter seasons that test us.

 

The question is not whether we will experience hardship.The question is how we choose to move through it. That question has shaped my own life.

 

In my early twenties, I found myself questioning nearly everything. Although I had earned degrees in journalism and writing and begun a career in broadcast news and public relations, something felt deeply out of alignment. I questioned my work, my relationships, and my sense of purpose. Long before I had the language to describe it, I knew I needed a different way of living.

 

That search led me to yoga, meditation, and the beginning of what has now become more than twenty-five years of studying holistic health and human flourishing. As my life evolved, so did my understanding of healing. The demands of raising two young children while completing graduate school introduced me to holistic nutrition and the importance of caring for both body and mind. The traumatic birth of my third child inspired me to become a birth doula, deepening my appreciation for the strength, vulnerability, and resilience that accompany life's most profound transitions.

 

Years later, my family experienced significant personal losses, followed by my own diagnosis of breast cancer. Each experience challenged me in different ways. Each experience also taught me something I could not have learned any other way.

 

And throughout it all, I was constantly reminded of the Japanese art form kintsugi, which repairs broken pottery with gold lacquer rather than hiding its cracks. Instead of pretending the vessel was never broken, it honors its history and transforms it into something even more beautiful and meaningful.

 

That philosophy has become the foundation of my work. I don't believe we are made stronger simply because we experience hardship. I believe we become stronger through the intentional practices that help us move through hardship—with support, curiosity, compassion, and community.

 

Healing is rarely quick. It is rarely linear. There is no single modality, perfect protocol, or universal prescription. What serves us in one season may not serve us in the next. Healing asks us to remain open to learning, adapting, and beginning again. 

 

The mantra "this too shall pass" has reminded me that pain is not permanent. Neither is joy. Impermanence is one of life's greatest challenges—but it is also one of its greatest gifts. That belief became the inspiration for R.E.COVERY | curated healing because I wanted to offer others what I spent years searching for: a thoughtful, compassionate, and personalized approach to healing that honors the whole person.


 

I don't believe there is one answer for every body, every diagnosis, or every life story. I do believe that healing becomes more possible when we have trusted guidance, meaningful conversations, evidence-informed practices, and a supportive community.

 

If my own journey has taught me anything, it is this: Healing isn't about returning to who you once were.It's about becoming who you were always meant to be.
