Throughout my career as a clinically trained psychotherapist, counselor educator, and supervisor, I dedicated myself to guiding individuals towards discovering their authentic selves—a mission that originally inspired the name of my former clinical practice (Authentic Living, LLC). During that chapter of my career, my clients affectionately referred to me as their "Dark Fairy Godmother," as I would not shy away from confronting them to face their "darker" parts to help them uncover their true nature or come “home” to themselves. However, over time, I realized that many standard, rigid, “evidence-based” models I was trained to use overlooked the gendered lived experiences of myself and other women, and the vital role that the feminine plays in healing in women's self-actualization process.

This realization inspired me to officially retire from full-time clinical practice and pursue my self-funded independent research on the historical lineages and practices of female folk and Indigenous healers, which revealed a different kind of wisdom: one that teaches all individuals, regardless of gender, to honor their intuition and the inner soul essence.

Thus, from this scholarly journey, I choose to pursue a path rooted in the wisdom of the feminine and to develop my Yonic Theory approach—a psycho-spiritual model of women’s self-actualization that honors intuition, embodiment, and the sacred currents of feminine wisdom that have been silenced throughout history.

Today, having fully transitioned away from active client-facing practice, I continue to spend my evenings and personal time preserving and sharing this wisdom and framework strictly as an independent researcher and author. I maintain this focus alongside my primary professional engagements by documenting my findings in my own "grimoire" of sorts which I have titled The Yonic Journal—which serves as a digital library and living archive of all my articles, essays, and conceptual frameworks designed for scholars and progressive wellness professionals to access who are seeking to move beyond rigid protocols and “one-size-fits-all” frameworks to honor the wisdom of the feminine and to guide women towards embracing their fullest, most authentic selves.
