Some people spend a lifetime learning to listen. I think I was born already hearing the things people don't say out loud.
I came to this country as a teenager, an immigrant carrying more uncertainty than I knew what to do with. Those years were hard. But somewhere in the middle of all that difficulty, I made a quiet decision to keep my heart open and to stay curious about people and the philosophy of life, about what makes us who we are.
Then my son was born, and everything I thought I understood was rewritten. His health struggles sent me searching in every direction. I sat in the offices of conventional doctors, naturopaths, practitioners of Chinese medicine, acupuncturists, anyone who might hold an answer. That long search eventually led me to homeopathy, and something in me recognized it immediately. I spent the next six years devoted to studying Classical Homeopathy and the Sensation Method, learning the patient art of listening beneath the words, finding the pattern hidden inside a person's symptoms and their story.
Along the way, Sufism, Buddhism, and a lifelong love of quantum physics wove themselves into how I see the world. All of it has grown into the work I do now as a holistic life coach. I've come to understand that sensing what lies beneath the surface is a gift, and there is nothing I find more meaningful than helping someone find their way back to the wisdom they already carry inside them.
Every person who sits across from me reminds me, again, how vast and full of possibility this universe really is.
