My journey as an HSP & Empath....

As a highly sensitive person and empath myself, I understand how you feel and how you experience the world. I live with the gifts and challenges of being highly sensitive every day. I love, embrace, and honor my powerful sensitivity now, but I was barely surviving before.

After years of struggling and several emotional meltdowns and physical breakdowns, I got to a point where I was so overwhelmed, exhausted, sick, depleted, and burned out that I couldn't physically function.

Back then, my life had become a burnout cycle. It was a stressful cycle of surviving, pushing myself to exhaustion, getting burned out, crashing, being forced to stop because of getting sick, taking time to recover, and going back to push myself again just to end up burned out one more time.

It was a painful, frustrating, exhausting, and debilitating roller coaster that left me with my own share of chronic health issues... including adrenal fatigue.

I had no idea how sensitive I was to everything in the environment, how my depth of processing was exhausting me, how my sensitive nervous system was getting overstimulated, how unknowingly I was absorbing the energy of everybody around me, and how this oversensitivity was was pointing out to my intuition. Being highly sensitive wasn’t an asset for me, it was a huge problem.

When I finally got sick of getting sick and burned out, I started researching what could be happening to me, and that's how I found out I am a highly sensitive person (HSP), and when I dug deep, I discovered I'm also an empath.

Finding out that I am an HSP & Empath started a fascinating journey of self-discovery. It felt like I was finally getting an explanation not only of my experience but of my entire life.

The extreme sensitivity to light and sound started to make sense. The overthinking, the overwhelm, the aversion to crowds, the chronic fatigue, the digestive issues, the endless list of food sensitivities.

The chronic stress, exhaustion, and depletion. The lack of energy, the sleeping troubles, the brain fog, the headaches, the irritability, the anxiety, the sensitive skin, the chronic pain.

All of it started to make sense when I understood what it means to have a sensitive body without giving it what it needs to thrive.

The feelings of being flawed, wrong, misunderstood, and unfit. My social issues, isolation, and toxic relationships. All those overwhelming emotions that felt so confusing, the emotional meltdowns and physical breakdowns, and the inexplicable experience of feeling in my body what other people were feeling like it was my own.

I was putting everybody’s needs first. I felt like it was my responsibility to rescue other people from their problems and their pain. I felt guilty if I didn’t please them. I didn’t know how to say No! I was ignoring my intuition. I didn't trust myself. I was going from one narcissist to another. I was trapped in toxic relationships with people who would constantly try to change and "fix" me. I was hurt. I was wounded.

I had no idea how to set boundaries. I was taking people's stress, emotions, and problems as if they were mine. I would feel guilty for everything. I felt ashamed of who I was. I would feel the impatience, anxiety, sadness, anger of others in my body like it was my own.

I felt like there was something wrong with me. I was criticizing, blaming, shaming, and judging myself for being different and not being able to do things like other people, as a result, I would push myself to fit in and be like them, until I got myself so sick and burned out that I had to stop, search answers and find help.

Does any of it sound familiar?

As you can see, I was a hot mess! Little did I know that all that struggle had a deeper purpose, and that the last breakdown was going to become a breakthrough in my life that would open up a journey of transformation and healing that would change my life forever and carve the path to help other Highly Sensitive Souls overcome their struggles and reclaim their strengths.

Discovering that I am a highly sensitive person and empath changed my life and carved my career. Since the moment I understood what it means to be highly sensitive, I knew I wanted to help HSPs & Empaths. No sensitive soul should struggle that much! Powerful Sensitivity was born out of a strong calling to help highly sensitive people thrive.

My career journey...

Back in my 20s, I started my career in fitness, health and nutrition as a Certified Fitness Trainer from ISSA - International Sports Science Association, Dance Fitness Instructor Certified by Zumba Fitness, and Certified Nutrition & Wellness Consultant from AFPA - American Fitness Professionals & Associates.

My old company – Hot & Strong Fitness Training offered personal training, bootcamps, nutrition consultations, and Zumba classes. Back then, I didn’t know I was an HSP. I demanded so much of my sensitive body that I ended up chronically injured and burned out.

So, I switched my focus from training to healing. I fell in love with natural healing and the approach of helping people holistically. So, I began studying holistic health and nutrition. The program was fascinating but very demanding. Once again, I pushed myself so hard that I was getting sick all the time.

The ongoing headaches, sensitivity to light, brain fog, exhaustion, and fatigue was so bad that I was in and out of burnout. I had no idea I was dealing with high sensitivity and adrenal fatigue. Two years later, I got so sick that I ran out of time and I couldn’t finish.

I loved this profession. With my heart and body broken and desperate for help, I went to look for answers and that’s how I found I am highly sensitive person.

When I found out I am an HSP, I switched gears into personal growth to help myself and help other HSPs. I set out to learn as much I could from some of the leaders in the field of high sensitivity.

I learned about my sensitive nature and how to manage my sensory challenges. I made major lifestyle changes and incorporated self-care. It was an ongoing learning process with a lot of trial and error, ups and downs, wins and losses. A constant journey of awareness, testing, tweaking, and growing.

Then, I pursued professional training in life coaching. I became a Certified Life Coach at Robbins Madanes Training Center – the official coaching school of Tony Robbins. Later, I also became Certified Life Coach at the Coaching Institute.

Along the way, I found out I'm also an empath and that sent me into a profound and transformative journey of deep wound healing an intuition development. After two years of training in intuition and energy healing, I got Certified in Self-Healing and became a Certified Intuitive Energy Healer by the School of Intuitive Studies.

It was a long and fascinating journey of personal inner work and professional training. I was getting ready to help my fellow HSPs & Empaths. But there was a problem...

Understanding my sensitivity, shifting my mindset, processing my emotions, and healing my wounds transformed my life, but I was still sick. All those years of enduring stress had taken a toll on my health - it was time to take care of my sensitive body.

It was a huge realization for me to experience that no matter how much we address the emotional and mental side of being highly sensitive, if we don’t also address the health of our sensitive body, we will keep getting overstimulated, overwhelmed, exhausted, fatigued, burned out, and sick. And it makes total sense - our sensitive nervous system is a central part of the trait of high sensitivity.

The next step was clear to me: To restore my health and be able to holistically help HSPs & Empaths decrease their challenges and improve their health, I needed to go back and finish my training in Holistic Health and Nutrition.

It was time to resume my love affair with natural healing. So, I went back to my amazing school the Energetic Health Institute to pursue my credentials in Holistic Nutrition.

This was the missing piece of the puzzle. It wasn't until I naturally nourished my sensitive and burned-out body that I began to heal and recover my energy.

It was the healing power of natural foods, herbs, nutrients, rest, sleep, movement, meditation, self-care, and life-style changes that restored my health.

Now, it’s all about You!

No matter what stage of your journey you are in right now, I’m here to hold your hand and show you the power of your sensitivity. I’m here to help you heal.

Even if your world feels overwhelming or chaotic, and you have no energy whatsoever, you are a powerful sensitive being, and you are here for a reason more meaningful than you might even believe.

I trust you have been guided to arrive here, and so it is my honor to walk this path with you. As highly sensitive souls, we feel deeply and we are being called to come to our power, embrace our true nature, heal ourselves, and fulfill our mission in this lifetime... But we need the energy and health to do that.

Reason why that might sound impossible, if you are currently going through the challenging aspects of your sensitivity, but your sensitivity is powerful! And if you are ready to dive deeper, discover who you really are, and work on you, I will show you how to thrive as the powerful sensitive soul that you are meant to be.

So, now it is all about you! It’s time for me to serve you, and help you harness the strengths and reduce the challenges of your sensitivity by nourishing your body, mind, emotions, and soul, so you can restore your health, feel your best and embrace your Powerful Sensitivity!
