Scorpio sun | Cancer moon | Capricorn rising
Ever since I can remember, I have felt like my emotions were too big for my body— like I could feel every little shift of energy within myself & external world. I felt like an alien. I felt I didn’t fit in & that I must have been made incorrectly because the narratives I was receiving from our culture were showing me, I was “too much.”
The arts were my saving grace. I turned to poetry, drama, dance, visual art—anything I could grasp that allowed me to pour my feelings into the safety net of creativity. By leaning on metaphor, I finally felt I was able to communicate my experiences with more clarity for both myself & those around me. And I finally fell in deep love with myself, my whole, bubbling-over-the-surface-big-feeling ancient self.
After experiencing countless heart deaths and rebirths, traveling solo through Ghana, Nepal, India, Thailand, Guatemala, & Costa Rica, learning about myself through the lens of claircognizance & clairsentience, getting certified as a Reiki Energy healing practioner, & becoming a published poet, I then found Expressive Arts Therapy & knew it was meant to be the next step of my journey.
