My Story

I know what it’s like to look strong on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside.

For decades, I loved people lost in addiction.
I hoped, rescued, rationalized, and tried to control outcomes I was never meant to carry.
And somewhere along the way, I slowly disappeared inside their chaos.

My healing began the moment I stopped trying to fix them
and started learning how to come home to myself.

Through Al-Anon, spiritual practice, self-compassion training, and deep inner work,
I rebuilt what addiction had eroded —
my self-trust, my peace, my clarity, and the truth of who I really am.

This is why I’m creating Alchemy for the Secret Pain You Carry —
the first course in a larger healing ecosystem for women who have loved, or are still loving, someone lost in addiction.

What I Believe

• Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken.
• It’s about remembering what has always been whole.
• I believe in:
• Truth-telling
• Nervous-system soothing
• Soulful boundaries
• Compassion that includes you
• Finding beauty in the mess
• Rising in clarity, dignity, and light
• When women return to themselves, the world shifts — inside and around us.

The Alchemy of Her Light

I went inward — through grief, gaslighting, silence, and shame —
not to become someone new,
but to remember the light I was always carrying.

And in that remembering, something miraculous happened:
my light came pouring out — not as perfection,
but as truth, compassion, and a way of living aligned with my soul.

This is the alchemy.
This is the offering.
This is Her Alchemy Lab — a space for truth, compassion, and the secret pain you no longer have to carry alone.

What You’ll Find Here
