About Living From the Heart

Living From the Heart emerged not from a business plan, but from a season of deep unraveling.

After years of holding space for others - through therapy, leadership, and community work; I found myself being asked into a quieter, more honest way of living. One that no longer relied on roles, outcomes, or certainty. One that required listening more than explaining.

This space is the fruit of that listening.

Living From the Heart is a devotional offering for those who find themselves in transition; between identities, beliefs, relationships, or ways of being that once made sense, but no longer fit.

What is?

Devotion: a personal, lived orientation toward listening, presence, and ethical alignment with what feels sacred or meaningful to you. It’s not about belief or doctrine, but about how we relate to life, responsibility, and inner guidance.

Spiritual teaching: sharing perspectives and practices that support self-reflection, awareness, and personal responsibility, again outside of psychotherapy and without clinical claims.

Devotional Guide: not a clinical role. It refers to accompanying someone in reflective, contemplative, or meaning-oriented inquiry; often through practices like journaling, meditation, or dialogue; without diagnosis, treatment, or therapeutic intervention.

The Story

My path has been shaped by both clinical training and lived experience, but this work is rooted less in what I know and more in what I have surrendered.

I have walked through seasons of grief, loss, disorientation, and profound spiritual questioning. I have learned, again and again, that healing does not arrive through force or mastery, but through presence, humility, and a willingness to be changed.

This space exists because I could no longer separate my spiritual life from my human one. Nor could I continue offering guidance from a place of performance rather than devotion.

Living from the Heart is where my work becomes quieter, slower, and more honest.

What do we do here?

Here, healing is approached as a relational process; with the body, the soul, and something greater than the self.

Through:

  • written reflections and heart teachings

  • spiritual guidance and intuitive inquiry

  • devotional practices rooted in presence and listening

  • small circles and retreats

This work supports those who are learning how to live from trust rather than effort.

There is no promise of quick transformation here.
No pressure to arrive healed.
No expectation to bypass pain in the name of spirituality.

Only an invitation to meet yourself where you are, and to listen for what is asking to emerge next.

Spiritual Response Therapy

Some of the guidance offered through Living From the Heart includes Spiritual Response Therapy, a spiritually guided form of inquiry that works through prayer, intention, and intuitive listening.

This work is offered as spiritual and devotional support, not as psychotherapy or medical treatment. It is distinct from clinical therapy and is held within a non-diagnostic, non-pathologizing framework.

What this is Not

Living From the Heart is separate and distinct from my clinical psychotherapy practice.

Psychotherapy, EMDR, and all mental-health services are offered exclusively through Torus Therapy and are governed by professional, ethical, and regulatory standards specific to clinical care.

Living From the Heart does not provide psychotherapy, does not diagnose or treat mental illness, and does not replace medical or mental health care.

This separation exists to protect both spaces and to honor the integrity of each.
