I Wrote a Book to Help You Rise (and I Want You on My Launch Team)

Healing Shouldn’t Be a Mystery

If you’ve ever found yourself doing all the right things—journaling, meditating, going to therapy—yet still feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious in your relationships, or disconnected from your body, you are not alone.

I wrote RISING: A Woman’s Journey of Healing Through Rituals for you.

For the woman who’s already self-aware but still struggling.
For the woman who’s done therapy but hasn’t yet found peace.
For the woman who knows she was made for more—but feels stuck in cycles she didn’t choose.

This book is my heart in printed form. And I’d love for you to help me bring it into the world.


My Journey from Chaos to Calm

There was a time when I couldn’t trust myself.
I was intense. Anxious. Pushing people away even when I craved connection.
I’d survived childhood trauma, addiction, and emotional abandonment—but surviving and healing are not the same.

Through years of practicing Ashtanga yoga, learning DBT skills, and committing to daily rituals that supported my nervous system and spirit, I transformed.

Today, I’m married to my soulmate, raising my son in a peaceful home, surrounded by deep friendships and doing work that lights me up. But that transformation wasn’t linear—it was ritual by ritual, breath by breath.

This is the journey I share in RISING. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s full of tools to help you return to the woman you were always meant to be.


3 Things I Want You to Know About RISING

1. It’s Not Just a Memoir—It’s a Map

Each chapter of RISING is structured around the chakra system, offering a story from my own healing journey and a practical ritual you can use to heal that energy center in your own life.

2. It’s for Women Who Are “Already Doing the Work”

If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and still feel emotionally stuck, this book will show you a new path forward through movement, breath, mindset, and daily intention.

3. You Can Help It Reach the Women Who Need It

As part of my book launch team, you’ll receive a free early e-copy in September in exchange for leaving an honest review when the book launches on November 18, 2025. You’ll also get behind-the-scenes updates and be part of the growing healing movement this book was born to support.
