Welcome, Serenity Seekers
You’ve felt the pull for more. This is the place to begin.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve felt it too — that nudge from something greater. Call it Spirit, God, the Universe, or simply your own inner knowing. The whisper that says there is more waiting for you. More depth. More truth. More of you to be remembered.
“There is no one greater for you, than you.”
My Journey
My path cracked open in grad school, tucked inside a research project, when I discovered the teachings of Dr. Shauna Shapiro. Her words on mindfulness weren’t academic to me — they were alive. They moved through me like a remembering, showing me that healing isn’t about fixing but about waking up to who we already are.
During this time I also discovered her TED Talk, where she shared the mantra that has never left me: “What you practice grows stronger.” Those words became my daily anchor, reminding me that each thought, each breath, and each action is shaping who I am becoming.
In 2023 I followed the pull all the way to Costa Rica to meet Emily in person. What I had once read in The Quest came alive in the jungle. The land pulsed with energy. The ceremonies, the sisterhood, the raw beauty of the earth,they cracked me open in ways I still carry.
I walked in with questions and left with a deeper sense of my own magic. In Costa Rica I practiced being a beginner of life, allowing myself to be undone and remade, one breath at a time.
That spark carried me to Emily Pereira’s book The Quest. Her story wasn’t just words on a page, it was a mirror and a call. As I read, I felt her words stir something wild inside me, asking, “Are you ready to peel back the layers? Are you ready to remember who you really are?”
Through her teachings I learned one of the greatest truths I hold close: “There is no one greater for you, than you.” Emily also taught me the importance of living as a beginner of life — meeting each moment with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to start again.
When I returned, the thread continued to unfold. I had been working privately with my yoga teacher and attending her retreats. In those spaces I felt energy pulling me deeper, and I finally asked her how she connected with it. That conversation led me to Debbie at Portal of Healing.
Debbie became my mentor, my friend, and my guide. With her I began diving into the many layers of myself and my healing. Each session felt like stepping closer to wholeness, reclaiming pieces of myself I thought were gone. Over time, she invited me into the practice of Integrated Energy Therapy. What began as sessions for my own healing grew into a path I could share with others as a practitioner.
What began as research became awakening.
What began as curiosity became devotion.
What began as seeking became remembering.
This path has never been about checking boxes or collecting credentials. It has always been about listening to the invitations Spirit placed in front of me and saying yes, even when I didn’t know where they would lead.
Now I hold this space open for you. An invitation to follow your own whispers. To explore the mess and the magic. To remember who you have always been.
