A Journey to Soften was born from my own remembering.

As a child, I lived in my feminine essence dancing, creating, immersed in beauty and imagination. But as I entered the medical field and spent ten years in the operating room, I learned to live in constant doing. Productivity replaced presence. I lived on coffee, pushed through exhaustion, and felt disconnected from my body. Over time, this disconnection manifested as digestive issues, menstrual irregularities, infertility, postpartum depression, and emotional imbalance.

I was taught that burnout was normal. That disconnection was normal. That suppression was normal. But my body knew otherwise.

After the birth of my daughter, I experienced a depth of emotional overwhelm I could no longer ignore. I declined medication and began searching for answers beyond symptom management. This search led me to Ayurveda and it changed everything.
