The Story Behind The Soul-Based Life Method
How I healed my anxiety by listening to my soul
I’m excited to share something close to my heart - the story behind The Soul-Based Life Method: how it came to be, how it might support you, and why I’ve made it my life’s work.
In my late teens and early twenties, I struggled with deep anxiety and confusion about my life path. I’d been a straight-A student in high school, got into a great university, and took classes across all my interests - but nothing really clicked. I felt lost, unfulfilled, and unsure of who I really was. Quietly, anxiety became my new normal.
I started seeing a traditional therapist and talked about everything under the sun, but no matter how much I unpacked, that underlying sense of dis-ease never fully went away. So, I took it upon myself to figure out how to truly heal.
What followed was a winding search for myself. A 10-day silent meditation retreat, a transformative yoga teacher training (shoutout to my teacher Matthew Cohen), and three years of solo backpacking, completely immersed in nature.
Through it all, something profound began to unfold: what I had been experiencing wasn’t a mental or emotional problem. It was a disconnect from my soul.
When I began weaving spiritual practices into daily life and spending prolonged time in nature, I started to hear a subtle, powerful inner voice - guiding me through intuitive nudges, bodily sensations, and eventually, a clear, direct inner dialogue that didn’t feel like my mind at all. It felt like a higher intelligence… rooted in me.
This connection felt like an embodied awakening to a deeper, truer way of living. I chose to let this soul-led part of me take the lead - and that’s when everything began to shift.
As anyone who has worked with me knows: once you make contact with the soul, the mind (ego) doesn’t give up the driver’s seat easily. That’s when the real inner work begins - helping the mind surrender to and eventually partner with, the soul.
Through this deeply transformative process, I learned to integrate my mind, body, and soul into one conscious, intelligent, and interconnected system.
Here’s what I discovered:
The soul is who I really am.
The soul is connected to the life force energy that is flowing through all things in existence.
When I live in alignment with my soul, I invite more of this life force energy to flow through my body.
The more life force I channel, the better I feel - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
When I live from soul, I feel clear, energized, and at peace.
When I live from ego or fear, I am disconnected from this energy - and I suffer.
I realized that anxiety was simply a signal that I had drifted out of alignment with my soul’s truth. Whenever I tuned in and listened, my soul would guide me back - offering a course correction. I’d follow its guidance and then feel the immediate relief in my body.
This led me to map and refine a repeatable process for tuning into my soul’s guidance whenever I felt anxious or out of alignment. Over time, my anxiety disappeared completely and it never came back.
That’s when I knew: this wasn’t just my healing - it was a method that could help others too.
I went on to earn my master’s in Transpersonal Psychology (Spiritual Psychology) to ground my method in both ancient wisdom and science.
So many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, disconnection. Traditional models often treat these as “problems of the mind”, “chemical imbalances” or “poor work-life balance”. But what I’ve seen again and again is that these symptoms arise from something deeper: energetic misalignment.
When the soul’s wisdom can’t flow clearly through your system, it shows up as distress.
When you realign with your soul, you reconnect to life force - and that’s where healing begins.
That’s why I created The Soul-Based Life Method: Your soul holds every answer you’ve been searching for. I help you quiet the noise and hear its truth. Then you can create a life that feels deeply aligned, vibrant, and true.
If this story resonated with you and you’re ready to start your own journey to soul, I’d love to support you.
