Neuroplastic Pain Integration, Life Coaching, & Energy Work for Emotional Clarity & Lasting Results
(Guidance rooted in 15+ years of experience, intuition, & deep care)
Something inside you knows: it’s time to feel like yourself again.
Release what’s heavy.
Reconnect with your peace, power, & purpose.
Reintegrate all parts of you.If you’ve tried everything & still feel stuck, you’re not alone. This isn’t about fixing you (you're not broken!)— it’s about returning to you (authentically). Sometimes the body needs help releasing what medicine can’t always measure — the deeper tension, stress, & stored emotion that keep the nervous system stuck in protection mode.This is the ultimate mind-body-spirit recalibration work for women & men who are ready to reclaim themselves from burnout, overwhelm, pain, & old emotional patterns.My approach is especially helpful for:
• Emotional burnout & overwhelm
• Anxiety, overthinking, & depression
• Neuroplastic Pain
• People-pleasing, perfectionism, & over-functioning
• Inner child healing & relationship patterns
• Nervous system regulation
• Masculine & feminine polarity work
• Grief, loss, divorce & life transitions
• Reconnecting with your purpose & peace
• Finding the emotional/energetic root of chronic symptoms
beauty from ashes
About me
Hi, I’m Christy! At the core of my work is a simple truth: you’re not broken — you’ve just been carrying more than anyone can hold alone.I help people release what’s heavy, reconnect with themselves, & integrate the parts of their lives & stories that are asking for support. My approach blends neuroplastic pain integration, life coaching, & energy work in a way that’s gentle, intuitive, and deeply human.I came into this work through my own lived experience — the kind that reshapes you, humbles you, & ultimately grows you. This work chose me. I know what it’s like to feel stuck in patterns you don’t want, to be strong for everyone, & to wonder when ease will finally return.What I’ve learned is this: when you create space to truly see yourself, everything begins to shift.My work is a blend of grounded guidance, emotional clarity, & energy support. Together, we create room for relief, reconnection, & the kind of inner alignment that changes how you show up in your life.Most of all, I believe in your capacity to shift, soften, & return to yourself — not a better version, but a truer one.
healing philosophy
Integration begins where survival ends.
Many people come to me feeling frustrated: “I’ve done the work. I’ve read the books. I’ve tried therapy, mindset shifts, breathwork … yet I still feel stuck.”This stuckness doesn’t mean you’re broken. It often means your brain is doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect you. When it senses danger — even emotional or energetic danger — it activates a threat response to keep you safe. That protection is wise, but it can also keep you stuck in old patterns, numbness, overwhelm, or shutdown long after the original moment has passed.When the brain stays in protection mode, it:
• shuts down your feeling state
• keeps old patterns looping
• makes clarity feel impossible
• blocks your authentic expression
• drains your energy & resilience
• creates symptoms — sometimes physical, emotional, or behavioral — to get your attentionHealing begins when we help your brain know it’s safe. When the brain receives this message, it can turn off the threat response — the very thing that keeps you disconnected from your emotions, intuition, and authentic self.My healing work focuses on helping your system shift out of threat response and back into connection. Your nervous system holds more wisdom than anything outside of you, and when we honor that wisdom, we can gently retrain it to feel safe again—softening survival patterns and bringing your emotional body back online.As this happens, you experience real, embodied change:
• emotional clarity & regulation
• the ability to feel rather than numb or react
• relief from old trauma imprints
• a deeper sense of self-trust
• access to your intuition, peace, & inner wisdom
• the integration of the parts of you that felt broken off or hiddenThis work isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself.
It’s about becoming the most authentic version of yourself — the one who emerges when your system is no longer stuck in survival.When the brain exits threat mode:
• your authentic truth rises to the surface
• your disconnected parts come back into harmony
• your life shifts in ways that are real and sustainable.

5-stars
The women and men who work with me often arrive feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. They leave with clarity, relief, and a deeper sense of themselves.Here’s how they describe the experience:
“Working with Christy feels like exhaling for the first time in years.”
“She helped me reconnect to parts of myself I didn’t even realize I had shut down.”
“I didn’t know change could feel this gentle and this powerful at the same time.”
“My pain decreased, but more importantly, I feel like myself again.”
“She helped me understand what was happening beneath the surface of my life.”
“I finally feel clear, grounded, and able to move forward.”You don’t have to force your way through your healing. You don’t have to carry everything alone. When you’re supported with compassion and precision, transformation becomes natural.
Healing starts in the mind.
But it reaches all of you.
