Healing is a journey arising from painful experiences, possibly ones that involve loss and rejection. My journey to healing and restoration came through the strengthening of my spiritual life. In this effort, I came to realize that the insecurities and hurts that plagued me were buried deep within the core of my being. This recognition led to me reclaim my strength and release those things that hindered me from fully utilizing my God-given gifts, skills, and abilities. Opening my heart and soul to God allowed Him to fully love me and subsequently erase the wounds that had overtaken me. I am now empowered to live a full life and to inspire those who have been marginalized through hardships, pain, and other bad experiences. Like me, you too can become a trailblazer for spiritual awakening, hope, and love.
It is now my life mission to empower women to reclaim their self-worth and beauty by rising above things that devalue them as people. Have you ever experienced real pain because of criticism, abuse, being falsely accused, or being outright lied about? Did the experience or encounter leave you lifeless and your body debilitated? Have you recovered? If your response is yes to any of the initial questions and no to recovery, there is a solution for you. I will provide you with biblical understanding, strategies, and tools that will help you identify those things within your core that are preventing you from fully living your best life. Together, we will confront them and look at practical solutions for moving forward with a positive disposition, strength, and confidence. God created us for greatness, and it is because of our inability to allow God to move in us that we haven’t actualized our full potential. The biblical passage found in Deuteronomy 31:8 tells us, “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Keep the faith, be strong, and come into your own through God.
