I AM two of the most PowHerFull words...
​
I AM a Medicine Woman! A Spiritual Bewitching Magickal Wild Chick! I Embody the Spirit of a Goddess and the Soul of several Lifetimes! I AM a bit eccentric and eclectic! I AM a hodgepodge of beautiful imperfection. I AM Authentic, Unapologetic and FREE! I AM my Ancestors Wildest Dream & the Embodiment of The Divine...AND F! THAT! I WILL NOT SHRINK to accommodate anyone or anything. But here’s the think, although I knew who I was I didn't Know who I was….big difference! But once it had been revealed and I began to See how I had been Chosen, Consecrated and Initiated for this Purpose…oh Ba-bay! My Life changed! My Purpose and path become so clear! The embodiment of my Passion became more Authentic! And my Spiritual journey to my Remembering began.
​
At the age of 13, I told my mother that I wanted to be a sex therapist! Yes! You read that correctly! I wanted to give women and girls the Gift of safety! I wanted to be that safe space where other women could come to talk about sexuality! We needed a space to talk, to learn, to laugh, to cry, to heal and to honor ourselves and our sexualities in all its beautiful facets and colors! Although, I knew what I was saying, I did not truly Know. However, over the years, Spirit has revealed to me just how PowHerFull my Gift would become. This would be a Gift to undo histories of unhealthy and toxic DNA encoding, to peel back and heal layers of trauma(s), to change Lives and transform legacies that will transcend generations.
Why I do it...
​
I got into this "stigmatizing," "shameful," "nasty," "dirty,” misunderstood field of sexuality just for that very reason! I was curious! I wanted to know just how stigmatizing, shameful, nasty, dirty, and misunderstood sexuality was. So, I jumped knee deep in it, searching for the truth. What I found is that sexuality is definitely misunderstood, misguided and manipulated. However, what I also learned was that our sexuality is natural, beautiful, complicated, complexed, fluid, colorful, pleasurable, spiritual, and Divine. It's who we are and to deny this very core component of our being is to deny ourselves. This my Love creates pain, frustration, anger, depression, dissociation, duality and so much more.
When I came into this level of INNER-standing and Understanding about our sexuality, it became my Life's Sacred Soul Purpose to Empower folks with the REAL information and education to make informed choices on how to live and Embody their sexuality Authentically! Over the years as I've grown on my Spiritual journey, I also began to recognize that we as women do not truly Embody the PowHer of the Divine Feminine nor do we understand the PowHer of our WOMB space. This Re-membering prompted be to dig deep...Enter Lilith! Enter The WOMB Space! This Journey into the deep and dark help me to re-member and re-connected me to my Soul Purpose and brought me to Sacral Soul....
BUT there was STILL SOMETHING MISSING....ENTER Holistically Her
