Meet kael

My interest in health and healing practices slowly began after I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition called Grave's Disease (an autoimmune disease) at the age of 14. Extremely rare at that age, the disease came on swift and strong, rapidly deteriorating my health in the span of a month between January and February of 2001. It ultimately resulted in a double dose of radiation therapy to kill off my toxic organ. From that point on, life shifted into a spiral of difficulty.

 

Depression, eating disorders, car accidents, falls resulting in broken bones (including one from a second story window), surgeries, paralysis episodes, head injuries, indeterminable illnesses, family tragedies, and significant personal traumas all swooped into my existence. Burnout was just scratching the surface. My life felt like a series of heartache that I could never get a handle on: Am I destined to keep going through all this?

 

I had to answer myself: "I better make some damn good lemonade out of all these lemons".

 

It's been a dizzying, bumpy road to get to where I am, but I've made it through thanks to the immense healing powers of nature and community; and a special thanks to humor, creative problem solving, and doing a lot of personal detective work for my body, mind, heart, soul, and environment. With time and effort, I also assembled an outstanding support system, without whom I would not be alive today (forever thank you).

 

In my own hardships, I have found my purpose to help others become empowered in their life so they don't feel trapped in a cyclone of trauma and dis-ease (and the life-sucking vortex they often generate). It's pretty damn good lemonade if I do say so, myself.

 

I promise you here and now, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. And -- bonus! -- there is even room for play, joy, humor, rest, creativity, and fun that can fill you up and encourage your body's natural healing process!

​

It is my absolute honor to walk alongside those struggling with stress and overwhelm as they reclaim their life -- and their power -- from whatever gets thrown at them.
