How did The Embodied Feminine start?

When I was 27 years old, I had my spiritual awakening and realized that I had a lot of trauma from different stages of life to work through. It was affecting every area of my life- holistic health, relationships, career, and more. I started seeing a reiki practitioner, and the modality truly helped me on my journey of healing. Through the support of spiritual mentors and practitioners, I discovered that I have intuitive abilities and I have a purpose in supporting women through their own healing.

I am five years into my healing journey, and it has been the most exhausting, but rewarding process. To learn who I truly am as a woman, through years of trauma has saved my life. Due to my trauma, I have never felt safe enough in my body or safe enough to express & embody my feminine energy. I have not felt safe enough to sit in my power and authenticity, because I have never experienced those things growing up, and even into adulthood. I had to discover what these look like and feel like to me, throughout my healing journey.

I had to sit with my shadow side, so I could sit in the comfort outside of it— to not judge my past or my past self, but to extend it and her grace, so I could move forward in life. I will never be fully healed (that’s not a thing), but I can create the most authentic and powerful life, inspite of my trauma. My choices had to now be inspite of my trauma and past, not because of it. Creating a life from my wounds would never get me to where I wanted to be. Change and the unknown is scary, but not as much as staying the same and attracting the same negative lessons through negative experiences over and over. I had to break the pattern to save myself. No one was going to do that for me.

My trauma has also made me develop medical conditions that affect my reproductive system. LS and endometriosis are not heavily studied by Western medicine. I’m now on a journey to not only discover who I am as a woman and to not let these conditions define me, but to heal myself through other modalities: reiki, womb healing, holistic medicine, shadow work, nervous system work, and getting the systems in my body back to a balanced & healthy state.

Though you don’t need to turn your trauma into purpose, I believe this is my work to do— to raise myself and other women up & to embody our higher selves, to not let the past define our present & future decisions, and to live in our power & authenticity, so every area of our lives become abundant, and reflect YOU.
