Hi, I'm Stacy!

With all the work I’d done on myself already, I thought I’d feel freer.

Growing up in an epically dysfunctional family and becoming a therapist, I naturally started my own psychotherapy a very long time ago. I did all the other stuff, too  – I meditated and did yoga regularly, received frequent energy and body work, and learned ALL about recovering from trauma from my own therapy, books, seminars, and my work with my clients. Puzzles were my jam from the word go, and I approached myself like the hardest one to figure out. But alas, my nervous system was stubborn and wouldn’t let me fully forget where I came from.

I’m sure all of my tiny bits of hard-won progress over many years of self-development were ultimately beneficial, paving the way for my healing to unfold. But it wasn’t until I began to explore the intergenerational patterns in my family lines, also known as ancestral healing, that certain patterns in my life and psyche shifted in a more palpable way. For so many of us, the trauma we carry in our bones and cells every day has accumulated over many generations. Especially when we’re sensitive to boot, we’re like the little tide pools of all the unresolved trauma in our family and ancestral lines, a truth confirmed by epigenetic research.

Thankfully, I’ve always been open-minded to things I can’t see but can feel or sense the truth in. Though I didn’t grow up religious, I could tell from the time I was little that I was able to communicate with something I called the Universe, and I never took that for granted. But what has really amazed me is how important it is to see ourselves as being connected to something bigger, if we are to be able to heal on a deeper level. Fortunately, I’m not alone in seeing the importance of incorporating a spiritual perspective into our notions of psychological well-being, and I’m grateful to be here now when there are more expansive pathways of healing available to us!
