For years, I ran a therapy practice helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, love and relationship challenges. On the outside, I looked like I had it all together — a meaningful career, a strong drive, beautiful children, and a relationship I thought was stable.
But everything changed after my own marriage unraveled right as I was working hard to help other women save theirs.
After my marriage ended, I carried with me a haunting question: Why had I stayed so long in a love that didn’t feel like love?
That was the beginning of my deeper search. I started noticing patterns — not just in myself, but in so many of the women I worked with. We were drawn to the familiar, even when it hurt. We confused chaos with chemistry. And our nervous systems, wired by old experiences, kept pulling us back into the same cycles.
This realization led me to study the connection between neuroscience and the heart — how living in survival mode keeps love at arms length. What I discovered not only transformed my own life, but became the foundation of the Mindful Love Method™ and my work as a love and relationship coach.
