My Story

“Energy Healer” wasn’t exactly in my five-year plan.

For most of my early adult life, I imagined a future in law, politics, or public leadership.

I studied political science and economics in college and, during my senior year, began training with Maureen Higgins in a three-year teacher certification program in energy healing. At the time, it felt like an important part of my personal growth, but not necessarily the direction my career would take.

After graduating in 2019, I moved to Washington, D.C., where I worked as an environmental sustainability consultant. I was still continuing my training with Maureen and deepening my intuitive and energy healing work, but I was also preparing for law school and staying focused on a path that, on paper, made a lot of sense.

In 2021, I took the LSAT.

After scoring consistently well on practice exams, I received a score on the actual test that was so low I could hardly believe it. It was surprising, discouraging, and impossible to ignore. It felt like a clear interruption designed to get my attention. A moment that forced me to stop and reconsider the future I had been working toward.

Around that time, I found myself more deeply drawn to the work I had already begun. What had once felt secondary started to feel central.

Over the years, my training in energy healing had become more than an interest. It had changed how I understood healing, growth, and what it means to live in alignment with yourself. It also showed me how much I cared about helping other people reconnect with their own inner resources.

That realization eventually led me to pursue a Master’s in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling and continue building a path that brings together therapeutic support, intuitive development, and energy healing.

Alongside my formal training, I’ve done my own deep personal work using a range of approaches to better understand and work through the patterns and experiences that shape how we show up in our lives.

This has given me a deeper appreciation for how healing unfolds, often in layers and in ways that require patience, support, and the right environment.
