About Us
Most people move through life from protective patterns, not from their true selves.
We learn to become the Achiever, the Pleaser, the Controller, the Good Girl, the Rebel, the Fixer — anything to stay safe, accepted, or loved.
These patterns shape the way we think, feel, choose, work, love, and relate. They were intelligent strategies that once kept us safe.
But as adults, those same patterns can create anxiety, pressure, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or cycles that feel impossible to break.
Beneath all of this is your true self — whole, wise, intuitive, and steady.
Aware Life Studio exists as a space to remember and reconnect with that self.
It’s a home for deep inner work, nervous system restoration, self-leadership, and spiritual clarity.
This is where you learn to live from presence rather than from survival.
My Mission
My mission is to help you dissolve the ego-driven patterns formed in childhood and return to the most profound truth of who you are — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
This work is not about becoming someone new.
It is about reclaiming the parts of you that have been hidden, silenced, or overwhelmed — and bringing them back into wholeness.
I help people build a relationship with themselves that is grounded, honest, compassionate, and strong—a relationship where your inner world becomes a place of clarity, not chaos.
The Aware Life Approach
My work rests on three foundational principles:
1. Presence
Learning to observe your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judging or collapsing into them.
This builds clarity, emotional strength, and nervous system steadiness.
2. Compassion
Meeting your younger parts — the scared, lonely, overwhelmed, or protective ones — with understanding instead of shame.
This softens defenses and allows more profound healing to begin.
3. Inner Leadership
Strengthening the grounded, wise, loving adult within you — the part that can lead your life with truth, boundaries, intuition, and emotional integrity.
As these three grow, the protective patterns begin to relax.
You stop living in survival mode and start living from your authentic self.
What This Work Helps With
People come to Aware Life Studio when they are navigating:
anxiety or overwhelm

Whether you’re a high performer, a sensitive soul, or someone on a spiritual path, this work meets you where you are.
You don’t need to have the right words.
You don’t need to be “good at emotions.”
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You need a willingness to turn inward.
About Me
My approach is rooted in years of personal transformation and extensive training with Dr. Margaret Paul, including a two-year Inner Bonding facilitator program and a private 9-month mentorship. I combined this foundation with the work of many respected inner-child and trauma experts, including John Bradshaw, Dr. Richard Schwartz (IFS), Dr. Gabor Maté, Pete Walker, Alice Miller, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and Eckhart Tolle, as well as relational dynamics informed by Harville Hendrix’s Imago principles, which reveal how childhood patterns repeat in adult relationships and how healing the inner child transforms the way we love and connect.
My methodology is also profoundly informed by somatic therapy, drawing from the work of Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) and Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, whose research reveals how trauma is stored in the body and released through attuned, embodied presence.
In addition, my work is influenced by Alchemy and Carl Jung’s process of individuation — the journey of integrating the unconscious, reclaiming the disowned parts of oneself, and becoming a unified, whole being. These traditions illuminate how inner fragmentation becomes outward struggle, and how bringing all parts of the psyche into relationship creates inner freedom.
Each of these teachings has shaped my understanding of childhood patterns, the nervous system, the ego, the inner child, and the path back to wholeness.
As I worked to dissolve my own ego and reconnect with the deeper parts of myself, I began to develop intuitive abilities that now form the heart of my work. Over time, I became known as an “inner child whisperer” for my ability to attune precisely to the parts of you that were overwhelmed, silenced, or forgotten.
I also discovered shamanic gifts that allow me to perceive trauma imprints as holographic memory fields. This evolved into a form of inner child soul retrieval, where I can often see the original moment a pattern formed, locate the younger self still holding it, and guide you in bringing that lost part home.
This shamanic dimension, combined with deep psychological and emotional training, is what makes my methodology unique. It is grounded, intuitive, and transformative.
I have worked with hundreds of people — high achievers, sensitives, executives, creatives, and those on spiritual paths — who have benefited from this work and experienced profound shifts in their inner world.
Before stepping into this work, I earned a degree in Engineering and spent years leading teams and building software solutions in digital payments inside large multinational corporations. I worked on the systems, infrastructure, and global technologies that power modern commerce. I also founded a software company, raised venture capital, and navigated the intense world of tech start-ups — an experience still rare for women. My work as a founder was profiled in several publications, including the Boston Globe's business section. I understand high-pressure environments, analytical minds, complex problem-solving, constant decision-making, and the emotional cost of performing at a high level in spaces that often overlook the inner world.
This gives my work a rare blend of structure and soul — clarity and compassion, practicality and spiritual depth.
My approach blends:
emotional attunement
inner child healing
shamanic insight and intuitive perception
somatic and nervous system awareness
boundary and leadership development
spiritual connection
practical tools for real-world integration
I don’t diagnose or “fix.”
I help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that were never broken — only overwhelmed or unheard.
I believe every person is whole beneath their patterns.
My work is to help you return to that wholeness.
