“One must live in the present tense,

but I have always lived in the present, tensely.” - Bette Davis

​

From a young age, I experienced the need to fulfill the role of family caregiver, as it was a natural extension of my need to belong – be seen, heard, acknowledged.

​

Ever restless and seeking inner calm and clarity of subtle truths, I became profoundly guided by ikigai the Japanese concept that means "a reason for being" - having a meaningful direction or purpose in life - constituting the sense of one's life being made worthwhile, with actions taken toward achieving this.

​

This encapsulates my profound sentiment to delve into the human quest for self-discovery and introspection. At its core, this evocation illustrates the relentless pursuit of understanding one's own identity, purpose and meaning.

​

This is where my healing journey began; from within. With sheer vulnerability and raw courage to go bold, brave, forward on my life quest into the unknown, having only curiosity and intuition to guide me. Resilience was cultivated and confidence arose, as did the answers to my poignant questions.

​

When we are presented with this once in a lifetime gift, to see ourselves with newfound clarity from a refreshingly new perspective, we ascend into the life we truly wish to inhabit.
