Nice to meet you!

Thank you for this lovely group. I am so happy to be a part. I spent decades being suicidal and I finally decided to change it and I worked really hard to heal it and when I did I wanted to share it to the world. So, that is my life purpose now. I am an author, mental health advocate, and Wellness Program Director at Sedona Mago Retreat Center in Sedona, Arizona. I am the author of Surviving Suicidal Ideation: From Therapy to Spirituality and the Lived Experience and Planet Walking: A Handbook for the Living. I try to blend my lived/healed experience, somatic awareness, and energy-based practices to help teach people the tools that helped me regulate my nervous systems and reconnect my spirit and energy. My work centers on one core belief: we are not broken — we can learn to respond to life from clarity, integrity, and inner strength. Much love to you all. I currently work at Sedona Mago if anyone is a local and wants to connect.
