About Me
I’m delighted you found us. Life is a journey, and each person along the way will plant a seed that takes you to your next level. Let me be one of them.
I have been helping women, children and people of all ages thrive since as early as elementary school. I knew early on that some people had it easy in life. I also realized that others simply didn’t. I wanted to help everyone. Since my awareness of this, I have picked up many styles of healing and wellness protocols along the journey of my life. All of these modalities have personally helped me, my past and present clients, my own child and friends who were willing to get out of their comfort zone and out of their own way. It’s what led me to develop the Fertility & Spirituality Summit to help women get pregnant naturally and bring their power back to themselves. It’s what motivated me to use craniosacral therapy to help postpartum moms and babies heal their nervous systems after birth. It’s what led me to somatoemotional release to unleash centuries of pent up trauma and shame (when you understand generational chains you’ll understand why I say centuries). It’s what propelled me to get a master’s degree in Psychotherapy to help people with unresolved childhood issues, rewire negative thought patterns and merge neuroscience with somatic healing to help women struggling from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse and societal patriarchial overload.
Our nervous systems need a rest. We are on overdrive, all the time, while being under nourished in relationship, love, harmony and acceptance.
Post-traumatic stress can result from a single dramatic incident or from repeated encounters of microaggressions stemming from culture, gender, disability or manipulation. Not all causes of posttraumatic stress are visible. I live in the space of the unseen. The space that breathes between what others see and how you really feel.
I have had many mentors and inspirations along the way. More than twenty years ago in 2006, I attended a vibrational healing workshop with Cyndi Dale at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck New York. While there, I booked a healing session with a woman whose name I cannot remember. I don’t even remember the modality she was trained in. What I do remember is that this unnamed woman said to me, “you’re going to work helping people heal their inner child one day.” I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.
Today, as I see unresolved childhood traumas and issues of control and abuse prevalent everywhere around us, as I see people’s visceral hopes and dreams silenced, taunted and mocked, as I see people’s irrational and self-defeating subconscious beliefs, my own included, locked by the time they’re 12 years old, I understand what it means to help people heal their inner child. We are all walking around with invisible wounds. We all have things we wish didn’t happen. We all harbor secrets we would tell no one.
You don’t have to endure the uncertainty or heaviness of life alone, and you also don’t have to feel this way forever. Working with me helps you take the load off, gives you alternatives for naturally manifesting a healthier and more positive life, and helps you create your unique roadmap to living a life you were meant to thrive in.
Don’t second guess the importance of this work because you may have never tried it before or perhaps you’ve tried too many that left you feeling stranded, broke or unfit.
No one is perfect, and I’m here to help you extend a little grace to yourself and to the one who hurt you. We are all in it together.
Give me a chance and you’ll be giving that chance right back to yourself.
The modalities I use
As a bodyworker and craniosacral therapist, trained all over the world in Naam Yoga Therapies, Harmonyum Healing, Advanced Therapeutic Breathwork, Advanced Visualization, Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Psychotherapy I blend a variety of tools and techniques born from my 20 plus years as a healer and 50 years living as an observer on this planet.
I believe in the body’s regenerative powers, the traps of the negative feedback look of the mind (and how to reset that) and the all too powerful role our nervous system plays in making us feel safe, whole happy and secure.
If we are not in a safe place in our nervous system, we cannot thrive. Our mind will continually come back to fear, anxiety, overwhelm, skepticism and lack. What can we create coming from that place? More of the same. Your life will give you reasons to doubt, scare away, protect, cower or flee. When you switch your awareness, mindset and belief from one that assumes we live in a limited universe (where only a lucky few can prosper) to the knowing that we play a role in an ever-expansive universe where there is room for EVERYONE to thrive, your life automatically changes.
The modalities I use are the best ones I have learned to counteract that protective mechanism in the mind and body so you can return to your true self, to heal the lost parts, to rewire your mind and body for growth and optimism, to achieve happiness and contentment and to prime yourself for success and multiplication.
Be fruitful and multiply. Let’s take the teachings of the Lord and expand His Blessings to every extent of the earth.
What’s your season of life?
I’d love to know more about what makes you tick and where you are in your life journey this very minute. There are seasons in life for all of us, and your goals will differ based on what stage you’re in at each cross-section of your life. I’d love to know what you’re harvesting right now, in your heart, what are your dreams, your aspirations. I want to help you get to a place where you feel good enough to try, thrive and reach those dreams.
“Whatever it is, my commitment is to help you end up in a better place…”
- Annette
We’re all going through something. Whatever it is, my commitment is to help you end up in a better place mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Your emotional body is what causes you to react, causing most of the actions and consequences in your life. Our emotional body follows the universal law of Cause and Effect, or the Causal Law. This universal principle states that for every action there is a reaction. That reaction is an action that in turn creates another reaction. And so on and so forth, the cycle continues. Many of us feel completely justified in our “reaction” without pulling back and recognizing how dysfunctional our behavior has actually been, and how our own actions are leading us to unintended consequences. It all starts with our thoughts and our feelings. If you can’t get that right, your life will be chaos. I help those who are spiraling out of control gain control of their thoughts and feelings, many for the first time ever, so that they can stop the chain reaction of negative thoughts, negative feelings, negative actions and negative consequences. By figuring out how to stop that continual cycle that literally feeds itself you start to live a more graceful life.
When we have an overactive nervous system, when we struggle with trauma or abuse, or when we are dealing with the grips of anxiety, it is almost impossible to get our "feelings” right. Remember that our thoughts create our feelings which create our actions which create our consequences. When we have negative thoughts, we will eventually be dealing with unintended consequences through the universal law of cause and effect. Life is not just happening to us randomly. We play a large hand in the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in, whether we are aware of that or not. I am not talking about abuse or trauma. These things are out of our control. But what we do with our lives after that, can be controllable by you with the right training, guidance and support. The universal law of vibration teaches us this. Like attracts like. Surround yourself with people of a certain energy, and you will create that same energy yourself. That is why it is SO important to be vigilant about who you choose to surround yourself. Are you surrounded by people who feed the negative feedback loop of the mind, or are you surrounded by people who will stand for your greatness and help you break that cycle? Sometimes, when we feel completely out of control, the way we use (or inhibit) our own reactions can help us create a different reality and build a better story. You’ve come this far already. Let me help you build a better story.
