I wrote the poem on my home page, “Beautiful Mess”, while reflecting on an experience in 2018 that cracked me wide open. It felt like dying. I thought my life was over, or at least would never be the same again.
And it wasn’t, just not in the way I expected.
Because this time I realized I was not broken, there was nothing to fix.
I was simply transforming into who I was truly meant to be. I had to let go of my old life and my old way of doing things in order to receive the abundance that was meant for me
It hurt to let go. Like a snake I would outgrow an experience and then shed that skin, emerging tender and raw, only to do it all again. I realized I needed help during this gestation and birthing process.
And slowly, inevitably, I came to see that THIS is LiVing. This is where beauty and pain and joy and shadow and light all exist together. This is the Magic in the Messy Middle.
Over time I felt a call to service to sit with others on this same journey. People willing to forgive themselves (and the world) and heal so that their healing might become the world’s healing. Seekers just like you.
And so Minding the Gaps was born, a counseling practice designed to hold space for women willing to spend time in the discomfort of that liminal space, willing to lean IN to the mess rather than turn away.
It is not just my professional training as a Coach and Clinical Social Worker that allow me to do this work, but in fact my lifelong gifts (hidden away for so long, but found again during my own transformation) as an Intuitve, Energy Healer and WayShower.
My offerings combine traditional counseling constructs with more Spiritual practices like Mindfulness, Meditation, Body and Breathwork. I have been called the “Excavator of Lost Dreams”, sometimes these are dreams you didn’t even know existed.
I connect with each of my clients wherever they are on this path and bear witness to their “Heroine’s Journey” through the messy middle of their lives. My work is grounded in the belief that each person has a deep inner sense of knowing that will inform their healing. My service is simply to create and hold a safe space for the transformation to occur. I offer tools, and invitations for conversation and practices that will create the time and space for you to emerge from the womb into your life as your transcended self.
It can feel scary to lean into this space and this work. Terrifying even. I compare it to letting go of one trapeze bar, and soaring through the air before you grab onto the next.
It can feel like a leap of faith, but it can also feel like flying.
It would be my honor to bear witness to your transformation. What are you waiting for?
