about me
It's no secret that existing in the world today is really fucking hard.
Even before the pandemic, feelings of disconnect, loneliness,
depression, and anxiety were knocking at the door for so many of us.
Now in 2022, I think it's safe to say that door has been kicked in.
If you're here, I imagine you may be feeling all of this and more.
Perhaps you've tried meditating, or journaling, or CBT, and my guess is, these "tools" didn't work quite as well as you hoped.
I know firsthand how frustrating and scary it is to feel like you're at your limit, with no real way of easing the pain. It's the worst kind of suffering.
What I have found on my own journey is that often, our suffering sticks around because we have been taught to rely on other things or people to heal it for us.
We become dependent on romantic partners, friend groups, careers, hobbies, fashion etc. to ease our pain. For most of us, we may get a glimmer of belonging, but on the whole, it feels much more like an endless chase.
All the while, we’ve been taught to abandon the most important relationship we’ll ever have - the one with ourselves.
The deep truth is, we cannot fully heal until we learn how to show up
in our own bodies with kindness and compassion.
My goal is to help you ditch the stories that no longer serve you, reconnect to the earth, and learn what it means to deeply belong to yourself first.
It's time to heal, dear one.
If you're ready to release the stories keeping you stuck in your suffering, and truly find home within yourself, let's connect.
I can't wait to meet you.
Warmly,
Amelia Caroline
