I identify as an empath.
This simply means that I not only feel my own emotions very deeply and strongly throughout my entire body, but I can sense, feel, and experience the present emotions, mood states, past emotional experiences, traumas, and inner potential of other people. For example, if I walk into a room of people, I can quickly detect who is anxious, who is sad, who is feeling content, or who is feeling lonely without anybody communicating their emotions to me verbally. This ability has provided me the gift of easily relating to other people’s experiences and providing them with empathy and compassion.
In 2023, after my grandmother passed away unexpectedly, I developed a profound need to understand spirituality in order to cope with my grief. While sitting in a meditation, I experienced my first spiritual awakening that forever changed the way I perceive the human experience on Earth. I experienced visions and “downloads” of spiritual wisdom that allowed me to understand that the Earth is simply a school in which humans go through difficult challenges for the purpose of healing our wounds, stepping into our authentic selves, and expanding our capacity to unconditionally love ourselves and feel compassion for others. Through this challenging yet incredibly rewarding process of healing ourselves, we step closer and closer towards enlightenment. This is an exciting journey that allows the individual to shed the limitations of the ego and experience higher energetic states including inner peace, boundless self-love, and meaningful connections with others.
As a therapist, I incorporate the spiritual wisdom I’ve gained into my healing practice by guiding my clients towards learning the lessons in each of their life challenges so that they too can step closer to unleashing their authentic selves and live as more enlightened souls.
