Tina , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.

My journey to becoming an Emotional Wellness Coach, stemmed from a desire to use my own experiences and insights to help others navigate their own paths to healing and self-discovery. Having gone through heartbreak and disappointment, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of self-love, self-care, and resilience. The defining moment, was a failed attempt of being the recipient in a healthy relationship. I had to take several steps back ,post the dissolution of the relationship, to reassess, start taking accountability, face my truths, and look for the source of brokenness.

Tina , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

As a two-time divorcee, I have personally endured the emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak and the challenges of picking up the pieces and moving forward, all while grieving the loss of my relationship. Through these experiences, I’ve gained deep insights into the complexities of healing a broken heart and rebuilding my life after the dissolution of a significant relationship.

My empathy and understanding of the process of grieving and healing from heartbreak, has allowed me to connect deeply with my clients and provide them with the support, guidance, and tools they need to heal, grow, and thrive. I am passionate about others empowering, embracing and elevating themselves as they navigate their journey.

My client’s have the option to have 1:1 sessions that generally start with a base 3 month package. I like to start with 3 months because emotion’s are delicate and fragile. Healing is not something that needs to be rushed. In my past, I attempted the rush process, and found myself back at the starting line each time.
Workshops are offered intermittently as well, and are usually posted on the Emotional Wellness Calendar. Both options have the option to be virtual as well as in person. My goal is to ensure an environment of comfort, serenity and tranquility for my clients.

I take pride in watching growth, strength, resilience and a sense of freedom exude from my clients as they navigate their journey to emotional wellness. Knowing first hand, how challenging it can be, to take the first steps to let go post heartbreak. I am overjoyed to see my clients honoring themselves, while courageously moving forward, I find their courage more than admirable. It makes my heart full.

What I offer my clients is place that is non judgmental, patient and understanding. A place to feel free to talk, be open and be transparent with out shame. My goal is to help navigate their course, as they do the work to move forward. I provide gentle nudges and guidance to help them reclaim their freedom as they let go and leave behind any emotional baggage and prepare for their next chapter.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I have no recollection of how I knew, even as a child, to not share my trauma or emotions. Being open and transparent was not something that was the norm for me. It led to failed relationships, with friends, loved ones, and I failed myself, by not being honest with myself. I suppose for those who read this and try to understand, “how can you not be honest with yourself?” I can not begin to explain it. This is where a fantastic Therapist comes in to help unravel that ball of yarn(and I was fortunate and blessed to find one). However; what I learned, was that being honest with myself was just the beginning of self care. Being honest with myself, afforded me the opportunities to be emotionally honest with those I interacted with, those that I had a bond with, those that I shared my heart with. It was challenging initially, still challenging to be honest. I have to be intentional daily, to not shy away from my truths and not be ashamed of how I feel or how my truth may make someone else feel, I have had to learn, that I am the only one in control of my emotions. No one else has that power unless I give it to them.

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

In hindsight, I realize I am where I am in my career, because I am supposed to be here. I spent years running from being an Emotional Wellness Coach. I skirted around the idea of it,(in different forms) and it took heartbreak, grieving and not being sure how to move forward in life to make the decision to step into my role that I was called to be in. As I look back on my career in the medical field while transitioning to where I am today, I see the patterns clearly. I have been an Emotional Wellness Coach along the journey. I have been the nudger, the navigator, the ear that listened with out judging, the safe place, the space of serenity. I was preparing for this all along and had the slightest idea along the way, that THIS is where I would be. I am grateful for the journey and the lessons learned, heartbreak and disappointment included. I wear it all with pride and I can say with the utmost sincerity, I have been there, I know the struggle. I wouldn’t change anything.
