Healing is always possible. It’s not always easy, but it’s possible because love is what heals — and love is what we are at our core. When we can access that deeper part of ourselves, that higher vibration of love, it begins to shift the stuck energy that trauma leaves behind.

I see trauma as energy that was too overwhelming to process at the time, so it gets stored in the body, the heart, the mind. That stuckness can cast long shadows, sometimes for years. Shadow work isn’t about fighting the shadow itself, it’s about meeting and transforming the energy that creates it.

Light always dissolves dark, and love always transmutes fear. When we open up those hidden places within us — often slowly, carefully, with support we trust — the shift happens. Each layer we heal creates more space, more stillness, and more connection to the truth of who we are.

At our essence, we are not the dark, we are the spark of the divine — eternal soul, infinite love — having this human experience. And nothing can destroy that. That’s why I believe healing is always possible.
