The first time someone said that to me, I nodded politely… and had no clue what they meant.

I thought it just meant I was good at reading people or picking up on the mood in a room.

WOW....was I wrong.

What I didn’t realize was that I wasn’t just sensing emotions, I was absorbing them. Holding onto other people’s stress, grief, and overwhelm like it was my own.

And eventually, my body had something to say about it.

I remember sitting in my naturopath’s office, completely exhausted and desperate for relief. A strange pain in the bottom of my foot had been bothering me for months.

• I wore the boot.
• I followed all the doctor’s recommendations.
• I gave it time. Six long weeks.

Nothing changed.

That’s when my naturopath gently suggested we try something different, Emotion Code® therapy.

I didn’t know much about energy healing back then, but I was willing to try. And what happened next changed everything.

As we worked through Emotion Code sessions, I discovered something shocking:
I had literally stuffed other people’s emotions into my foot.

Grief. Stress. Fear. None of it was mine, but my body had been holding it anyway.

And once I began releasing those trapped emotions:

• The pain faded.
• I started walking comfortably again.
• It never came back.

That experience opened a door for me. I knew I needed to learn more.

After that experience, I started to realize I had been absorbing others' emotions my entire life. And while I wanted to stop, I had no idea how.

At first, I thought the solution was to shut it all down, turn off my feelings, build walls, go numb.

But that’s not the answer.

The truth is: Being an empath is a gift.

The real magic happens when you learn how to protect it.

If you’re not sure whether you're an empath,

Here are a few common signs:

• You feel emotionally drained after spending time with others
• You can sense someone’s mood before they even speak
• You struggle to differentiate your emotions from other people’s
• You often take on the role of caretaker, fixer, or peacekeeper
• You experience unexplained physical symptoms or anxiety
• You need a lot of alone time to recharge

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

As I began to understand my empathic nature, I also learned how to stop taking on everyone else’s energy.

Here’s what changed everything:

• Clearing my energy regularly

• Setting and enforcing boundaries (yes, even with people I love)

• Recognizing people-pleasing and codependency as survival habits

• Learning to trust my own intuition

• Giving myself permission to stop playing small

I finally understood that I didn’t have to carry other people’s pain to be loving. I could hold compassion without holding their energy.

So many of us have been taught to dim our light so we don’t upset others.

To stay quiet, be agreeable, and make everyone else comfortable.

But as an empath, your power comes from standing in your truth, not hiding from it.

• You don’t have to shut down your gifts.
• You don’t have to live in burnout or chronic overwhelm.
• You don’t have to keep wondering what’s wrong with you.

Because nothing is wrong with you.

If you’re an empath struggling with anxiety, mysterious pain, emotional exhaustion, or even invisible illness… there is a way through.

Over the last few years, I’ve helped empaths:

• Discover the root cause of their physical or emotional symptoms
• Release trapped energy and emotions
• Heal relationships and create healthy boundaries
• Reconnect to their intuition
• Finally feel safe being fully themselves

Using tools like Emotion Code, Body Code, Belief Code, and the Akashic Records, we work together to help you release what’s not yours, and reclaim what is.

You weren’t meant to carry the weight of the world.

You were meant to bring light to it, without losing yourself in the process.

Let’s help you stop absorbing and start aligning.
