My Journey Home

Why I Do This Work 

Guiding Your Soul and Inner Parts Toward Freedom from Trauma

This work is not just what I do—it’s what I am called to share. I know firsthand how trauma shapes both the nervous system and the sense of self. Raised as a minority immigrant in Indonesia, I carried cultural shame, rejection, and the pain of not belonging. Later, a toxic relationship and eight years of single motherhood brought anxiety, chronic sleep struggles, and exhaustion. I know what it feels like to live in survival mode—stuck, anxious, and weighed down despite your best efforts.

Yet a quiet inner knowing kept guiding me: this is not the end of my story. That whisper became my compass through decades of healing across three continents, where I immersed myself in embodied wisdom and advanced trauma studies. Along the way, I not only learned but reclaimed the lost parts of myself at the deepest level.

Today, through Integrative Somatic Healing™, I support individuals living with chronic stress, trauma survivors, and those navigating addiction. My approach blends science and spirituality to create safety, balance, and transformation. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing, Breathwork, Trauma-Informed Parts Work (TIST), NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Energy Healing, I help clients release what the body has been holding and reconnect with their authentic self.

My mission is simple: when one person heals, their whole family system and community begin to heal. I don’t “fix” people—I create the conditions where your body’s wisdom can awaken, protective patterns can soften, and your true self can emerge.

Today, I am happily married, blessed with two grown children, and living in alignment with love, peace, and purpose. My own journey fuels my commitment to walk beside others—so you too can step into clarity, calm, and courage.

Because your story does not define you—your transformation does.

Warmly,
