starting with why

For nine years, I carried a secret that kept me frozen. In April 2016, at eighteen years old, I survived a sexual assault. The trauma was so deeply buried in my body that I couldn’t even share it with the people closest to me, including my parents. I lived in survival mode until 2023, when I finally dared to open Pandora’s box and begin my healing journey.

My path to reclamation was accelerated by the intense, profound world of plant medicine, followed by psychotherapy, sound healing, energy healing and EFT tapping. But the ultimate turning point came in June 2025, when I found my way back to God. Having spent my early childhood years in the church, this wasn’t a sudden change—it was a profound homecoming. That early foundation, even though it was put on pause for a long time, slept within me until I was ready to return to it. Coming back to that faith after walking through so much darkness showed me just how deeply anchored my spirit has always been. By facing my deepest shadows and realigning with my faith, I finally found true inner peace.

I took on the role of an unofficial therapist for loved ones and strangers alike, long before I even completed a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and having spent over a decade in the social services field. However, I always felt a deeper calling to share the unique gifts God designed for me. I know firsthand that the fast-paced transformation of plant medicine can be terrifying and overwhelming for many. Healing shouldn't require a leap off a cliff; it can start with a single, gentle step. 

I created emorphis™ to be that safe, soft space I so desperately needed years ago—a sanctuary where people can begin their healing journey at their own pace, guided by gentle energy, accessible tools, and unconditional grace.
