About John
Though my story in this life began in Fort Worth, Texas, my early years took place in Newburgh, New York, where it was just my immediate family - far from extended relatives.
As the youngest of 5, I grew up in a household with several different personalities: I learned how to navigate the complexities within people, their various needs, and the nuances of living in a large family.
In 1st Grade, we returned to Texas, settling in Waco, where I spent my remaining adolescence. Growing up, I constantly sought to find my place in the world, trying to conform to the conventional blueprint laid out for us. However, I ultimately couldn't fit into this mold. This made childhood difficult for me, giving me a sense of never truly belonging.
Raised Baptist, I had always possessed a hunger for spiritual growth - constantly questioning the reality I was living in and how the world functioned around me. At the time, the Church was my only outlet. I was baptized at fifteen, and for me, that moment was an acknowledgment of something greater than myself - a surrender to the Divine Forces at play.
It is no surprise that a decade later, John the Baptist showed up as one of my Guides.
Before college, I was still searching for my path. I had always been drawn to holding space for others - listening to their struggles and being present for them. I knew I was called to help humanity in some way and considered becoming either a teacher or a psychologist. I chose psychology as a way to better understand others and, ultimately, myself. As the Church no longer fed my desire for growth, I began exploring other paths.
Studying at the University of North Texas was a transformative experience: I met my husband, Geoffrey, connected with open and accepting people, and began exploring various religions and spiritual practices. I learned about the Divine Masculine and Feminine, manifestation, and our interconnectedness with the Universe. In my classes, I also gained foundational techniques I still use today. Throughout college, my spiritual path and professional ambitions ran parallel: while pursuing a career in clinical psychology, I was also expanding emotionally and spiritually.
In 2018, Geoffrey and I married. He entered the United States Air Force, I graduated from college, and we moved to Monterey, California. I took a two-year break while Geoffrey focused on his training. This was a challenging period for me. Isolated from everyone and everything I had known, I embraced the role of The Hermit. In that quiet space, I deepened my connection to Mother Earth and my intuition, healing old wounds and coming to know myself on a profound level.
In April 2020, we relocated to Annapolis, Maryland. The job market was limited due to pandemic restrictions, so I began exploring alternative career opportunities. During my search, I discovered the world of coaching. It offered me the chance to help others heal themselves - something I had long felt called to do. I enrolled in a year-long coaching program and dove in headfirst. We were asked to find our niche, and I reflected deeply. Again and again, I returned to spirituality, the most transformative element of my own journey, and I knew it could serve others, too.
Thus, The Well-Worn Soul was born.
Over time, I felt called to expand my toolkit to better serve others. I began to understand just how many paths there are to healing and how individualized that process is for each person. A holistic approach became not only relevant but necessary. I saw how connecting to one’s Guides, Ancestors, Cosmic Beings, and the Divine can offer profound support along the way. Everything started to fall into place, and opportunities presented themselves exactly when needed.
I purchased a set of crystal singing bowls and began offering sound baths to the local community. I became attuned to Reiki, which enabled me to support healing on both physical and subtle levels. Through the Rites of the Munay-Ki, I deepened my connection to Mother Earth and Father Cosmos. I also connected with the Angelic Realms and experienced the power of Angelic Healing.
Together, Geoffrey and I discovered just how vital - and life-changing - a holistic spiritual practice can be. Through trial and error, we’ve cultivated a business which centers around providing that practice for others: helping to remember their innate wisdom, heal deeply, and embrace their unfolding.
As the Founder of The Well-Worn Soul, I now walk as a lifelong student of psychology, a teacher, coach, mentor, guide, and friend - within a space where everyone is welcome and has the opportunity to remember and return.
Welcome, Well-Worn Soul.
