You're an Ambitious, Accomplished,
Successful Professional Woman.
You studied and mentored with the best; you've worked hard and taken action. It's paid off ~ your business or career is thriving.
And yet ... May I ask you something woman to woman, heart to heart?
Do you relate to these challenges other professional women face?
Frustration and "stuckness." Despite your intelligence, hard work and accomplishments in professional areas, you have a deep desire you haven't been able to fill in your personal life.
Loneliness and isolation. You have invested so much time, energy and focus in your career, that your personal relationships are strained or maybe few and far between.
Disconnection. You feel distant from your spouse.
Fear, vulnerability, overwhelm or sadness that you keep hidden from others.
Difficulty maintaining life balance between all parts of your life, including your career, your marriage or other relationships, and your personal well-being.
Difficulty with boundaries that would help you maintain the balance you need so you can thrive in all areas of your life.
Many Women Achieve Either a Thriving Career or a Fulfilling Life.
A thriving career is a wonderful accomplishment. You may feel grateful to be making a difference for so many while enjoying financial freedom, options, peace of mind and a lifestyle others may envy.
Yet does your thriving career fulfill your woman’s deepest desires ~ the Desires of your heart?
I have noticed a lot of spiritually-attuned women leaders have many accomplishments and successes in their professional lives, yet still privately hunger for the fulfillment that will make their women’s hearts sing. When they open up to me and share their heart’s Desires and the inner experiences of their lives, I hear repeating themes over and over, like these:
In quiet moments they admit they are not as personally fulfilled as they thought they would be at this point in their careers.
Sometimes feeling like a fraud, because their personal lives are not commensurate with their professional success.
Painful or traumatic childhood experiences, sometimes called Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACES. Even with all they know and all they have accomplished, they often confide they feel like an inner part of them is a child still hurting from their childhood hurts, fears or insecurities.
Traumatic memories from past experiences and relationships that they just can’t lay to rest, no matter how hard they try. These memories and experiences may impact their marriages, current relationships and conversations, bringing a pall of fear, cautiousness, or hesitance to new opportunities and relationships. As a result, they may hide their real selves, and miss opportunities to experience deeper love in their marriages, and miss out on opportunities to live more joyfully and fully. Privately they can feel easily hurt by others.
Hidden money fears, no matter what their income or level of financial success.
Wounds to their feminine Self. For example, they may believe that to succeed, they must do things a "man's way", fear their woman's body is unlovable, or feel undeserving of experiencing pleasure as a woman.
In their heart of hearts, they often feel cheated. They followed the path of success shown to them, only to find an inward emptiness and longing for more ... They often feel like screaming for something different, but what?
If you relate, you don't have to stay in this place of personal restlessness, unfulfillment, disappointment and lack of joy. Your personal deep Desires are a Divine gift, urging you on your Soul’s Heroines Journey and they are meant to be fulfilled. You can create more personal joy and fulfillment and realize more of your deep Desires ~ the Desires that will make your woman's heart sing with joy ~ if you follow the urgings and the Soul hunger you feel, and continue your Heroine’s Journey to their fulfillment.

Why is Healing Childhood Trauma so crucial? Why now?
Simply put, to transform your life and live your dreams, and fulfill your Soul purpose in the highest way, you must heal your past.
You must heal your Inner Child from trauma so you can fully live and thrive in the present, as the accomplished adult woman you are now.
Childhood trauma healing is a crucial turning point on your Heroine’s Journey to the expanded freedom, joy, love, and full Self-expression your Soul hungers for now.
How I came to know this.
I know what it is like to feel trapped in a private hunger for fulfillment. I remember what it was like to want to break FREE! and feel my own deeper happiness, love and joy. Yet time and time again, I found myself being pulled back into the mire. While I didn’t know it at the time, I needed childhood trauma healing.
I remember what it was like to have many professional successes and accomplishments, and yet feel personally unfulfilled. I had completed my Master’s degree from one of the top three Marriage and Family Therapy programs in the US, published my original thesis research in a top peer-reviewed journal, and quickly established a successful private practice; yet I was missing the love in my personal life that would make my heart sing as a woman, having been divorced while in grad school.
In addition to my professional success, I knew I deserved personal fulfillment and joy too! And I knew there was so much more I could do for my two beautiful young daughters and for the world, if only I could get out of that private inner struggle and self-doubt.
Thankfully, that was a long time ago, and I am grateful that that time is now behind me. Over 30 years ago, I met and married my Beloved, (after a second divorce and after I was well past 30.) We’ve been happily married for over 29 years, and our marriage gets richer and deeper and more fulfilling every passing year.
The love and joy I sought began with a life-changing commitment to become the heroine in my own life.
And so I began a journey ~ my Heroine's Journey to find and heal what was keeping me from my dream of the loving marriage I so deeply wanted. I discovered these things were buried in my past; I thought I had dealt with them years before through conventional therapy. I learned more is needed for healing childhood trauma and being freed from the pain and wounds of the past than conventional talk therapy alone. Through a series of spiritual experiences, I was led to the means for this deeper, more complete healing. I learned how to break free from my own inner child’s struggle and limitations, AND how to guide other women to do the same for themselves.
Freeing the Heroine Within contains the heart of the 7-step pathway out. It guides you through your Heroines Journey of healing your inner child from the childhood trauma you have carried for so long, and contains the essential steps to satisfy the personal hunger you feel for deeper fulfillment, and to reclaim your birthright and blueprint for your own deeply joyful life ~ now.
Common Questions about healing childhood Trauma
”I relate to these challenges, but I don’t have any memories of trauma from childhood. If anything, I feel like my parents loved me from a distance, and left me to raise myself. Can you help me?”
Yes. While the prevailing belief is that childhood trauma is violent or abusive, what we know from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) studies, is that childhood trauma is broader in scope than abuse alone. 1 Children whose parents were absent or uninvolved in their lives, such as through divorce or death of a parent, or who had parents who were benignfully neglectful of their emotional, social, physical or spiritual needs, also experience childhood trauma. Moving frequently can also be disruptive for children’s basic needs for community and belonging, and can also result in a traumatic impact.
If you relate to what you have read, then it is likely that healing childhood trauma can be beneficial for you.
If you would like to consider more deeply, if childhood trauma may be impacting your life today, request the Freedom to Flourish Self-Assessment. I wrote it to help you take a deeper, more nuanced look beyond the ACE’s quiz. You can request it above.
“The trauma I experienced in my childhood happened a long time ago. I’ve forgiven those involved, and have moved on with my life. Why is it coming up again, and why should I be concerned, or do anything about this now? “
Healing childhood trauma usually takes place in layers and stages, as we move through our own adult lives. As we progress in life, the healing needs to go deeper, so that we can keep progressing. The deeper layers of childhood trauma healing that I facilitate through Freeing the Heroine Within, go beyond your conscious mind and awareness to find, heal and release where the traumatic impacts have been imprinted in your subconscious, your deeply held, nonverbal beliefs about yourself, your energy field, and the way they are anchored in your body, wiring you neurologically to feel unsafe in the world.
This deeper level of healing goes far beyond the first layer of healing that is obtainable through conventional methods, which many women achieve earlier in their lives.
The layers and stages open as we are ready for them, according to our own adult timelines. When a new layer of healing childhood trauma opens, it is vitally important that we step into it, and do the healing work that opens.
One of the most important results of the ACE’s studies, is the finding that unhealed childhood trauma has a lifelong impact in women’s lives. 2 The impacts are significant, and include relationship problems and instability through out life, challenges with emotional well-being, including depression and anxiety, and major adult illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, weight issues and even cancer. ACE’s studies indicate these significant adult impacts of unhealed childhood trauma are causative, so when a layer for deeper healing opens, it is crucially important to step into the healing, even many years after we have forgiven those involved.
"I feel a deep restlessness and dissatisfaction in my life. Others have told me I'm in a mid-life crisis, but it feels like something more to me. Sometimes I feel like I'm screaming inside, it's so intense. But I don't know what it is that I want instead - I don't know what my heart's desire is. Can you help someone like me?"
Many woman who work with me feel similarly when they start. You are not alone. As we work together, you can experience increasing freedom from the restlessness and discontent deep in your Soul. You can feel excitement from regaining forward movement in your life, resolving the restlessness and so called "mid-life crisis" along the way.
Most importantly, you can find clarity about your heart's deep Desire.
"Is this program only about marriage?"
No. My own heart's deep Desire years ago was to become happily remarried after two divorces. I have worked with women whose hearts' Desires were to change careers, or launch a children's non-profit, or start a transformational writing and book publishing business.
I have also worked with women whose Soul hunger was to revive the love and emotional closeness in their marriages, others who deeply wanted to have a baby and others who have been on a journey of healing from abuse and trauma for a while, including religious trauma and generational patterns of abuse.
Some feel a compelling drive toward spiritual transformation and growth, seeking greater direct connection with the Divine, while others are in a faith transition moving beyond the religions and churches of their pasts.
The nature of a woman's Soul hunger is unique to each woman. Through Freeing the Heroine Within, I will help you take your own unique Heroine Journey of childhood trauma healing, toward the fulfillment of your Soul's unique deep Desire.
