A Journey of Transformation and Resilience: Forever Grateful
Robin Carnes has been an incredible mentor to me, guiding me through a transformative journey that spans over three decades. It all began with an adventurous winter climb up Mount Washington, where
I first had the pleasure of getting to know Robin and her partner, Peter. Little did I know that this encounter would mark the beginning of a magnetic connection that would shape my life in profound ways.
An Introduction to Transformation
That night in New Hampshire sparked my deep fascination with Robin's wisdom and her commitment to growth. From that first meeting I realized that Robin first introduced me to women's sacred circles, later to retreat facilitation, and along the way we seemed to align around embodied teachings and trauma that always synchronized together. In other words Robin's journey of self-discovery and soul work, was a pivotal spark that has allowed me to explore the depths of my work and continues to so three decades later.
A Fall and an Unexpected Path
While I was working as a Guidance Counselor at a small public school in Vermont, life took an unexpected turn when I experienced a fall on my head that profoundly impacted my emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Through recovering from brain surgery; a new healing process was made available to me through the trauma. I literally tripped towards the power of somatic therapy without even knowing that was where I was going to find natural healing. Training in Phoenix Rising with Michael Lee I found my first somatic opening into my body's natural wisdom. It was during this time that my resilience expertise began to blossom.
From the Inside Out:
“Traditional education often neglects the essential element of embodiment and integration of our experiences.”
However, through therapeutic yoga, somatic therapy and coaching, I learned to align myself with my innate wholeness and harness the intelligence of my whole body. This transformational approach allowed me to become an expert in resilience from the inside out, integrating my learnings at a profound level.
My connection with Robin Carnes has been instrumental in my journey of transformation and resilience. Through her guidance, I discovered the power of deep inner work, somatic therapy, and the integration of experiences. Today, I stand as a testament to the transformative potential that lies within each of us when we embrace our innate intelligence at a whole body level.
