Fifteen years ago, my life took a turn I wasn’t prepared for. My father passed away suddenly at just 53 from us by a heart attack. I still remember that day vividly—the shock, the disbelief, the heartbreak. It felt as though the ground beneath me had disappeared.
I was 23, finding who I was and my place in the world, but the grief that followed was overwhelming, and it took me to a dark place where anxiety and depression became my constant companions.
I was lost in the pain, and my heart felt heavy, disconnected. For years, I tried to push through, throwing myself into work, escaping with parties and alcohol, and burying my sorrow as deeply as I could. I was just surviving, not really living.
Searching for answers, I eventually turned to a doctor, who diagnosed me with post-traumatic anxiety disorder and handed me a prescription for the strongest medication available, never offering support.
Deep inside, my intuition spoke loudly. The medication might dull the symptoms, but it wouldn’t address the root cause—the emotional and spiritual weight of the experience. I knew there had to be another way. That realization sparked a powerful commitment to heal and transform from within.
I turned inward, delving into practices like meditation, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and breathwork. Little by little, these practices offered me moments of peace. I felt the tightness in my chest ease and the endless fog of grief begin to lift. It was as though I had touched something ancient within myself, a wisdom that had always been there, waiting for me to awaken.
Curiosity soon gave way to dedication. I immersed myself in studies of integral psychology, ancient wisdom, and the science of transformation. I worked and studied with mentors who guided me through somatic and energy healing, subconscious reprogramming, and psycho-spiritual practices. Dr. Joe Dispenza’s teachings became a cornerstone of my growth, helping me understand the power of the mind and heart in creating change.
And then, I discovered HeartMath—a practice that changed everything.
Through simple yet profound tools, I learned how to regulate my emotions, calm my nervous system, and cultivate coherence within myself. I began to realize heart is always at the heart of any transformation. When we learn to connect with our hearts, we tap into something deeply powerful. Through the power of our heart we are able to attune to life, cultivate more loving relationships with ourselves, heal our longing hearts, overcome adversities and live a fulfilling life.
This journey of healing wasn’t just about overcoming grief; it was about awakening to the deeper truth of who I am. My father’s passing, while deeply painful, became a catalyst for growth and self-discovery.
Today, I look back on that chapter of my life with gratitude. It taught me resilience, self-compassion, and the incredible power of my heart.
