Empath Magic

I’m an herbalist, abdominal massage therapist, and health coach from the wilds of Vermont.

Empath Magic is a soft place to land when you’ve been thrown a blind curve and you’re overwhelmed with deciding what medical appointment or natural healer to schedule next. 

You see, the modern world is not set up for self healing.  We didn’t get to lounge on body pillows in middle school when we got our first period.  In fact, maybe we couldn’t go to the bathroom until the test was over.

We’ve been taught it is not productive to follow our natural rhythms.

Growing up, my mom worked long hours as a nurse and my dad was going through his own stuff.  I watched my mom get home from work at 5, and then have to do hours of computer paperwork late into the night to keep up.  

I often had bagels for dinner and fast food. You could feel the stress in our household. 

When I stayed at my grandparents farm I learned how to live a simple life. I got up early, came downstairs to the smell of fresh rolls baking, and pruned the apple, pear, and cherry trees with my grandmother. 

She washed our clothes in an old bathtub with a washboard outside, and she taught me how.  

My Latvian grandparents lost a child to starvation as refugees. They experienced the kind of pain most of us could never understand.   

It didn’t break them, however.  They taught me that when you feel completely broken, tend a garden, sew a dress, and take a sauna.  

Ten years ago, I thought my purpose in life was to be a mother and have a baby.  Years of trying for a baby went by. I had three failed IVFs and four failed adoption attempts.
 

I ended up broken emotionally and physically, with no money left and a huge lump in my breast from all the hormone drugs.

There wasn’t a turning point I remember when I felt better.  It was a slow unfolding as I began to reconnect with myself and my body and notice the beauty in nature.

From my grandparents, I learned it is possible to heal myself with the plants and flowers around me.

It’s creating with your own hands that transforms you.  Creativity forms a healing cocoon around you as you’re going through emotional stuff and tuning into your intuition.  

Instead of rushing you and offering a bandaid solution, this site will help you discover how to interpret your body’s messages and follow your intuition to find healing.

Empowering your knowledge of your body’s deeper workings goes so much farther than a quick fix that’s only short term.
