My Story

& what brought me closer to my work with astrology and coaching

Around the year 2017, my life had unexpectedly become more exciting and purposeful. I was a leader, and an extremely creative one at that. I took on projects and initiatives that challenged me, such as choreographing, directing and editing dance films (you can see clips of these films all over my website!). I researched and wrote on topics that intrigued my curious mind. I was hired to perform and choreograph professionally, which made me feel like my skills were truly seen by others. I got to move my body all day long and take care of my physical health, something I did not realize was important to me until this point in my life. After life-long struggles with autoimmunity, I had discovered amazing health benefits to my lifestyle (I swear, I went three years without drinking an ounce of caffeine or coffee). I was connected spiritually in a way I never was before. I was surrounded by my people and my community, individuals who I felt truly in-alignment with and who believed in me and my talents. I had the most amazing support system at this time My well-being in all areas of my life (mental health, physical health, spiritual health, financial and social well-being) were all functioning as great as I could have ever imagined. I felt fulfilled and motivated in everyway possible. I was thriving.

It felt like every dream I ever had was coming to life without intentionally manifesting anything.

How did I stumble upon this environment, you might ask? It wasn’t intentional or conscious decisions that I made, rather that during this time in my life, I was simply acting through my own intuition. I picked what I wanted to study, simply based off of what brought me excitement rather than analyzing the job market or what others thought I should do. I trusted the path that I was on, without questioning my worth or capabilities, which led me to amazing leadership opportunities. I quite literally manifested a partner without trying, someone I went on to date for six whole years. Many of these stories and more I would be completely open to sharing with you one-on-one.

Unfortunately, my life after this experience was not as positive. I came to a point in my life where I stopped listening to my gut because it didn’t feel like the “adult” thing to do. I ended up moving to a different state and began working jobs where I slowly lost interest and motivation. I felt that my energy and productivity levels were off. I did not have the time to take care of my health, and in the small times I did, I was too exhausted to do anything for myself. I felt disempowered. I stopped dancing and utilizing my creativity. I was surrounded by people with different goals in life, different ambitions, and different values…

After years had passed, and nothing changed, I decided I needed to do things differently and think critically about the life I was living. At first I thought my problems were health-related (and to some degree, they were). I tried working out and diets, in which every attempt to stick to a routine seemed to fall through. I tried to be what my job and others needed to be and see if showing up in this way would bring me some sense of fulfillment. I became a people pleaser and let go of a lot of the things that made me feel like myself. I kept wondering if this was normal, or if I was simply struggling with my mental health or is something was just flat-out wrong with me. Something eventually called me look into my own astrology.

When I looked at my own energy, I realized…

• I am an extremely spiritual person. When I am not connected to my spirituality, I feel disconnected with myself (Pisces moon, venus chart ruler in the 9th house, sun in the 8th house, Aries jupiter trine neptune)

• I am an entrepreneur at heart and work best when I have an alternating schedule and multiple small passion projects that I am working towards, as my energy and focus tends to be cyclical (Cancer midheaven, Cancer venus in the 9th house, Pisces moon in the 6th house, Mars in the 1st house)

• I needed work that contributes to my emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, as my health and well-being are very sensitive to my environment (Taurus sun, Libra mars in the 1st house trine Cancer venus, Pisces Moon in the 6th square natal venus & sextile neptune in the 4th house, Cancer midheaven)

• My life needs to be full of playful initiatives, ones where I can lead and be creative and expressive within a community. Doing work where I am connecting with others, both one-on-one and in group settings, is very important to me (Cancer venus, Leo north node in the 10th house, Aries jupiter in the 7th house, stellium in the 7th house)

• I have a strong love for art and film (Pisces moon, venus ruled sun and rising, venus in the 9th house chart-ruler)

• Work where I am exploring the minds of others, and learning about topics related to psychology, are important to me and spark my curiosity (Taurus sun in the 8th house square uranus, Aries jupiter in the 7th house)

• I need work where I get to utilize my strong organizational skills and serve others (moon in the 6th house, Libra rising with mars in the first house)

• I have a really great eye for seeing people and understanding them. I am also passionate about empowering the people around me and encouraging them to express themselves in a way that supports their happiness and well-being (Taurus sun in the 8th house, Pisces moon conjunct Cancer venus, Leo north node in the 10th house, mars in the first house, mercury conjunct sun in the 7th house)

With the knowledge of my own energy through astrology, I had an epiphany moment:

When I followed my gut and acted on what brought me excitement and fulfillment in life, I naturally fell within alignment of myself.

To be clear, these realizations did not stick out to me all at once. It took some serious reflecting, connecting, the loss of some close people in my life, working with a life coach and so much more to really lead me to understand this. But once I did this, it all made sense.

I used to be in an environment that fed my soul. Once I had left this environment, I lost myself. I used to use my intuition as my guiding compass. Once I succumbed to the expectations of other people and society, I lost my sense of purpose.

This experience made me realize the importance of life - of the work I do, of the people I spend time with, of the choices I make.

There is no obligation on this planet that is more important than the obligation you have to yourself to choose happiness, purpose and living a life that you are truly aligned with.

You only have one life. As cheesy as it sounds, it is also true. I truly believe that we were all put on this earth to follow our heart and align with what calls to us. We are not meant to go through life and follow the path that others have laid out for us. Astrology is an amazing and comprehensive tool for recognizing what sets ourselves apart from others. When we truly know ourselves, we can begin to make decisions that are in alignment with what will bring us happiness and fulfillment. I would be honored and blessed to be a part of that journey with you.
