About Us
Most of us don’t just wake up one day feeling fearless.
Courage unfolds choice by choice.
It is a becoming.
We aren’t born with wisdom.
Discernment and insight unfold choice by choice.
It is a becoming.
Strength, joy, peace, compassion, and love all unfold choice by choice. And you have the power to choose who you want to become.
I’m here to support your journey.
My name is Angie, and I am an integrative healer. I taught college psychology for over a decade. I am a mental health therapist, a registered yoga teacher, a certified sound healer, a reiki master, and a certified EFT practitioner.
This is a space for both science and soul. I want to give you access to all the exciting insights research has to offer. I also want to help you hear the insights that are rising from your own heart.
Becoming is a process of turning inward and outward. Of learning new skills and applying them to life, and of taking time to listen to the wisdom bubbling up from within.
You’ll find posts about exciting research that can help you understand and work with your brain and body successfully, like these
