rewild healing

My healing journey started in 2018 after a breakup that awakened a recognition of patterns - patterns I was finally fed up with. My healing began with yoga, dance, therapy, EMDR, and nourishing my body with healthy foods. After experiencing another breakup in 2019, I decided to leave Denver to embark on a solo 2-year, rewilding, self-discovery journey.

 

Shortly after embarking on my adventure, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. My diagnosis turned my world upside down as I learned how to imitate the work of a pancreas, manually measuring my blood sugar and injecting insulin everyday. While my resilience was tested over and over throughout those years, I found empowerment in diving deeper into my healing and exploring the depths of my being through exploration, curiosity, reflection, and adventure.

Travel and retreat in Barbados, California, Tennessee, Portugal, Ireland, Albania, Greece, and Italy were the catalyst to my growth and my deep knowing. In that season, I was both independent and isolated, which forced me to spend time with myself, really getting to know my strength and my truth without the influence of others. I became my priority. I had the time and space to explore new healing modalities and was able to try out new experiences all over the world.

After two years of being away, I felt called back to Denver. I was deeply craving connection to both my space and to community. This is when I found breathwork. Breathwork has given me a new connection to my emotional existence and allotted me the space to emote with the support of community. The community I have  acquired through breathwork has given me full permission to explore my healing through mirroring, and there is so much power in knowing that I’m not alone on this journey. Breathwork has also given me a new somatic experience, and the opportunity to release unconsciously stored emotion. The daily complexities of T1D include a busy, logical, figure and formula-driven mind as I work to manage my blood sugar levels. As a result, my day-to-day life experience can feel disconnected. Breathwork has reconnected me to my body and my intuition.
