Private Work

 
 

You’re not broken, you’re misaligned

There’s a version of you that has been performing your life, and you know something is off.

You have been contorting yourself into boxes that someone else built for you. Maybe it’s a family expectation or community influence, people pleasing or following traditions without questioning them. Even if it was a former version of yourself, someone else built it.

No matter what it is, it’s exhausting to constantly fit molds that weren’t meant for you.

The good news is that you are not broken! You aren’t. There is nothing to “fix” here. You are lost, trying to find your way back to yourself.

This is the work we do. We break through the limitations that you inherited and no longer choose. Together, we find the way back to the most honest version of you that’s been waiting to break free.


How it works

Most approaches help you find awareness around a problem, then recommend action. That’s only part of the equation.

Awareness does come first, the a-ha moment where you see things from another perspective and truly understand what you’ve been resisting.

Then, we accept it. We welcome it because it has something valuable to offer. So we express gratitude to your block for keeping you safe and helping you in the ways that it knew how.

Once we have connected with true gratitude, we explore what action feels supportive and aligned.

Awareness + Acceptance + Gratitude + Aligned Action

We don’t skip the messy middle, that’s where the transformation lives and where most people get stuck when they try to do it alone.

Using tools rooted in academic psychology and ancient wisdom, you have the support and accountability to process, integrate, and make change in your life.


Is it for you?

☑️ If traditional systems and structures haven’t worked for you, or they worked too well, leaving you trapped…

☑️ If you know there’s a bigger picture but can’t pull it into focus…

☑️ If you’re ready to go deep, be honest with yourself, and stop performing a version of you that was never who you are…

Then yes!

❌ But if you are looking for someone to tell you what to do…

❌ Or you’re not willing to be honest with yourself…

❌ Or you want a quick fix without doing the inner work…

Then no!


Ways to Work Together

Every path starts with a breakthrough, and we find the right fit together.

Identity Invocation

A day to name the elevated version of you, and spend the day as them.

💥 Before: a short questionnaire and a pre-adventure call, plus a personal playlist and style curation

💥 The day: a private naming ceremony, plus a day-in-the-life outing in New York or "together apart" via video chat

💥 After: an action plan to take home, and a check-in one month later

For when you want a deep start without committing to months.

Breakthrough to You
3 Months

Six sessions, with unlimited WhatsApp support between

💥 The start: 90-minute kickoff with a naming ceremony + optional tarot reading

💥 The work: 5 additional hour-long sessions over three months, at a rhythm we set together

💥 In between: WhatsApp voice notes and texts, because breakthroughs aren't scheduled

For when you're ready to move and want momentum.

Breakthrough to You
6 Months

A similar structure with more room to practice

💥 The start: 90-minute kickoff with a naming ceremony + optional tarot reading

💥 The work: additional hour-long sessions over six months, so your work has time to land

💥 In between: WhatsApp voice notes and texts, because breakthroughs aren't scheduled

For when the pattern runs deep and you want time to integrate.

Not sure which fits?
That’s what the Breakthrough Session is for!

✨ My session gave me deeper insight into layers of myself and the past, also a new perspective and I loved the collaboration.
