I didn't find healing. I had to choose it.
For a long time I measured my worth by what I could achieve, who chose me, and how much I could give. I built a career as a surgical neurophysiologist - a role that demands precision and the ability to hold steady in high-stakes moments. And I was good at it. But I was running on empty.
I overgave in relationships, ignored my intuition, and kept reshaping myself into whoever I thought I needed to be in order to feel loved. No matter how much I achieved externally, the disconnection inside never went away.
The turning point wasn't dramatic. It was the quiet accumulation of realizing no external change was going to fix what was happening inside my nervous system. Receiving my Reiki attunement opened the door. And then I made a decision that changed everything - I packed up my life and moved 900 miles away to choose a slower existence that actually suited me.

I want to be honest with you - I am not someone who has arrived. I am someone who is living this work in real time, which is exactly why I can guide you through it. What has changed is this: I no longer abandon myself to keep the peace. I no longer override my body's signals to meet someone else's expectations. I now live a life that is genuinely slower, more spacious, and more mine. That is the destination I hold for every person I work with.

My background as a surgical neurophysiologist means I understand the nervous system not just spiritually, but biologically. I know what chronic stress does to the body at a cellular level. Sound, Reiki, and somatic practice are not soft alternatives to science because they are scientifically supported pathways back to regulation. Stillroot & Solace exists at the intersection of those two worlds. This is not light-and-love wellness. This is deep, honest, body-level healing for people ready to stop performing fine and start becoming free.

Your worth is not determined by who chooses you. Healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself. A dysregulated nervous system shapes your entire reality. External success means nothing without inner safety. Your body will tell you when something is no longer aligned.
You don't need to have it all together to start.
You just need to be willing to stop abandoning yourself. The rest, we figure out together.
