My background and training
My journey as a facilitator commenced with my own mental health crisis in 2014. Confronted with addiction challenges, codependency, and overwhelming symptoms of PTSD, I found myself compelled to take profound measures to transform my life, prioritizing mental well-being. This marked the initiation of a decade-long journey of self-discovery and healing, blending both conventional Western methodologies and Eastern spiritual practices. I'm profoundly thankful for the unwavering support I received throughout this transformative period.
As I embraced the path to wellness, it became evident that while my journey was exceptionally intense, it mirrored the struggles faced by many in our daily lives—mental health challenges, relational breakdowns, and the pervasive sense of loneliness and disconnection. I recognized the glaring insufficiency of existing knowledge, tools, and support systems for individuals to truly thrive.
A desire to share my evolving expertise with others took root within me. Consequently, in 2022, I made the decision to depart from a 20-year career in IT, redirecting my focus towards personal health and enrolling in a series of professional trainings, and in 2024 Relational Alchemy was born.
