From Burnout to Rebirth: My Somatic Healing Journey Through EFT, Tapping, and Sound
How tapping, yoga, and sound helped me alchemize trauma, reclaim my body, and soften into my true power.
"I guide you into the unseen — where what holds you back becomes the doorway to your freedom."
This is not just a phrase I say. It is a path I have walked.
Ten years ago, I burned out completely. I was living a life that looked beautiful on the outside — working in the fast-paced luxury fashion industry in Paris — but inside, I was collapsing. Chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection took over. I did not feel safe in my body. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and silently unraveling.
It took me years to feel truly at home within myself again. Years of searching, shedding, remembering. But what saved me was not a quick fix. It was a deep return to my body, my emotions, and my inner wisdom — through somatic healing, EFT tapping, Kundalini yoga, and the profound medicine of sound.
These were not just practices. They were lifelines.
They helped me alchemize the pain I carried — not by ignoring it, but by meeting it with presence. I learned how to feel without drowning, how to rest without guilt, how to soften without losing my strength.
That is what Soften to Empower means to me:
Not avoiding the discomfort, but moving through it — gently, honestly — until something new emerges.
Transformation is not comfortable.
I have walked through depression, karmic relationships, and inner chaos. But through it, I have discovered that what we avoid often holds the exact medicine we need.
And the truth is:
We do not have to suffer alone.
We are not meant to.
No one taught us how to go through emotional metamorphosis. How to hold ourselves. How to feel our grief and still trust life. That is why I do this work today.
I hold space for others — for you — to walk your own path of transformation with support, tools, and real care.
Today, I live closer to my essence. I listen to my body. I choose from a place of sovereignty, not survival. I rest. I create. I hold space.
And I offer this journey to you — not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has walked through the fire and returned with keys.
If you are navigating fatigue, emotional weight, or feeling far from yourself...
Know this: healing is not linear, but it is possible.
And you are not alone.
Soften to Empower.
Always.
