Who is Abby?
Mother. Healer. Warrior. Wife. Advocate. Daughter. Visionary.
I am all of the above and more. I share my history of complex trauma during my sound baths because it is a part of who I am. My life has been filled with many experiences that have left me feeling depressed and isolated throughout childhood and into my adult years.
My healing journey began when I started to learn about holistic health. I started to view life through a different lens and learned everything was interconnected. In order to heal and work on myself, I needed to start lowering the walls of protection I so skillfully built around myself, brick by brick. With each brick I took down, I always found my inner child waiting for me - scared, worried, abandoned. I had been protecting her all this time. Even present day, when I am triggered I find myself protecting her. However, as I began to slowly accept my past and focus on living in the present, I learned I could give my inner child the love, comfort, friendship and admiration she needed. Through this realization I discovered my healing path would only begin with self love and acceptance.
When I found sound healing, everything I knew about myself finally felt aligned. My past, who I am as a healer and how I envisioned my future serving people, become more profound.
I found purpose. All the work I had put into working on myself over the years through therapy, yoga, meditation, self healing and changing my lifestyle was preparing me for a huge shift into fully reclaiming myself and taking up space unapologetically.
I have created a life of true abundance from scratch. I have overcome a lot and want to use my strength to empower others who need help like I did.
My words and perspective illustrate how I try to find the light in the darkness but I also want to keep it real so you know, I know, healing is not linear. My healing path has been full of ups and downs. I have gone through phases where I am really working on myself and doing all the things, and other times where I am too depressed to even talk to anyone. Life will continue to happen, experiences can become traumatic, and anxiety and depression will always creep up, but having the right tools and support will help you find your way and keep you on your life journey of being the best you.
So who am I? I am someone who wants to help you along your journey whatever your destination may be. I am here to support, heal and share what I have learned to help you along your healing journey.
I have a Bachelors of Science in Public Health Education and a Minor and certificate in Holistic Health Studies from San Francisco State University. I have been working in healthcare for over 15 years in both large and small organizations. I have recently completed a 200-hour Sound Healer program.
When I am not hosting a sound bath, I love hanging out with my husband, our son and 2 dogs. I love to travel, hike, cook, go to the farmers market and love any crafty project I can squeeze in.
