My path to coaching wasn't linear or pretty. It was built from years of surviving, unravelling, and slowly — with a lot of tears and more than a little stubbornness — choosing to heal. Everything I offer you is rooted in something I have walked through myself.
The beginning
Growing up with a narcissistic mother meant learning early that my needs, feelings, and very existence were conditional. I spent years adapting, shrinking, and performing — just to survive. I didn't know then that this would shape every relationship I'd ever have.
The first marriage
I married a narcissist — something I couldn't see until I was deep inside it. The patterns I'd learned as a child made me the perfect target, and made me stay far longer than I should have. Leaving was one of the hardest and bravest things I've ever done.
Age 29
Being diagnosed with ASD at 29 was both a relief and a grief. It explained so much — why I'd always felt different, why social situations were exhausting, why relationships felt like navigating a maze without a map. It also added a whole new layer to unpack.
The real work
My current relationship has been the greatest teacher and the greatest challenge. Instead of running when things got hard, I chose to stay and heal — bringing my partner along on a journey neither of us expected. Those difficult years became the foundation of everything I now teach.
Today
I created Neuraluxe because I couldn't find a coach who truly understood the intersection of CPTSD, narcissistic abuse, ASD, and trying to heal while in a real relationship. So I became that person. For you.
Your patterns made sense in the context they were created. Healing isn't fixing — it's understanding and gently releasing what no longer serves you.
No healing happens without safety. Every session is a space where you can be exactly as you are — without judgment, without performance.
Between healing and having love. Between getting better and staying in your relationship. You can do both — and I'll show you how.
I won't guide you somewhere I haven't been. My credentials aren't on a wall — they're in the life I've lived and the healing I've done.
