At the age of 29, disenchanted with the life I had chosen for myself despite reaching every goal I had set – attending the top-tiered schools, working for the best law firms in the sexiest practice areas, making lots of money – I woke up to the realization that not only was I suffering from anxiety in both work and social situations, I had also been depressed for two decades stemming from childhood sexual abuse.

And the truth is, I was so wrapped up in achieving that I barely noticed that heaviness that had been with me all those years. And I was surrounded by so many other highly strung people, I almost thought my anxiety was normal. Almost (getting over-the-top down on myself about missing a period…well, that may have been a bit much on a regular basis).

Shortly after my realization, a series of fortunate events began the process of a massive change in my life. Over the course of the next year, I felt a strong pull to leave my career as a corporate lawyer in DC and start a spiritual journey that had been a quiet whisper for as long as I could remember.

Through deep meditation, long stints of silence and solitude, and following spiritual teachings of many masters, I experienced an indescribable awakening that eliminated every problem I thought I had at that moment, every problem I had attached to from my past, and every problem that could possibly ever arise in my conscious experience. Just like that.

I aspire to help as many others as I can to live from that awakened, joyful place that I found.

Namaste
