Finding peace and clarity from domestic abuse -- Creating the space to become YOU again.
"No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bed, but puts it on a stand,
that those who enter may see the light" (Luke 8:16; 11:33).
About Me
I'm a child of God, yet I'm also a mother, a domestic abuse survivor and advocate, a freelance writer, a blogger, a theologian, a spiritual director, a certified wellness and nutrition consultant, a fitness professional, and above all an individual. These are the things that can never be taken from me, no matter how hard someone may try.
"Do not fear those who cannot kill the soul" (Matthew 10:28). |
My Mission
My mission is quite simple, yet quite complicated. Like suffering.
The crazy-making, gaslighting, and constant turmoil of domestic abuse isn't a one-time trauma. Domestic abuse seems to take away your very self--your creativity, goals, thoughts, aspirations, friendships, finances, sense of self, independence ... the list varies from situation to situation, and goes on. My goal is to help you reclaim your true self. Even if you feel depleted, with a complete lack of physical, emotional, or spiritual energy, you can regain yourself after domestic abuse. And, if you're Catholic like me, you may be wondering about the connection between the sacrament of marriage, divorce, annulment -- and abuse. My mission is to make all of these issues totally clear so you can move forward with your life in a healthy, God-willed manner. |
