Introducing Healing Hearts: A Journey Back to Wholeness

Since 2009, I’ve been on a healing journey of my own. What began with traditional therapy—where I started to unpack my trauma from childhood to adulthood—gradually led me to something deeper. As I addressed each layer of pain and memory, I was introduced to Indigenous practices and modalities like silent meditation, healing retreats, Lomi Lomi, and hilot that helped me not only understand what I was carrying, but begin to release it. It felt like I was meeting each memory with compassion and love, each wound with forgiveness. Slowly, I began releasing the trauma and pain from my body, mind, and spirit.

Then came 2020.

Like many people, I went through what some might call a dark night of the soul. The fast pace of the world came to a pause. People were suddenly at home, face-to-face with themselves in ways they hadn’t been before. The stillness was uncomfortable. I realized how much collective suffering—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—was rising to the surface. In that pause, I asked myself: What can I do to support others in their healing? How can I guide people to release pain that no longer serves them? How can I help them feel light, joy and being loved?

That’s when Healing Hearts was born.

This offering came from my own experience of loneliness, grief, depression, and transformation. It wasn’t an easy path. But as I came out on the other side of my own trauma, I knew healing couldn’t be a one-size-fits-all process. People need different ways to feel supported, heard, seen, and be safe. I believe one of the most powerful ways to begin that process is by healing the heart.

When we begin healing our hearts, something shifts. The burdens start to soften. The anger doesn’t grip so tightly. The sadness becomes more like a wave than a weight. And from there, we begin to remember joy, peace, love, and connection. Healing the heart restores the mind, body, and spirit—and that inner shift and energy ripples outward. It affects ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world.

My vision for Healing Hearts is a world where people can show up with genuine, authentic love. Where we live in harmony with one another. Where generations such as: young people, adults, and elders live in environments where conflict isn’t feared but addressed with compassion, empathy, joy with practices and tools for nonviolent interaction. A world where communities grow strong because they know how to move through challenges together.

This is the essence of Healing Hearts. It’s not just a practice. It’s a movement. It’s a return to wholeness.
