About Me

One day a voice whispered to me..."You have something important to do."  Within three months of this whispering my world shattered beyond recognition. As the old made way for the new, I found myself experiencing every conceivable pain imaginable. 

I will forever recall the night I laid in bed, my mind consumed with the excruciating physical and emotional pain that had become my reality....all I wanted was for it to end.  I wanted peace and I no longer cared how it came.

As quickly as the thought entered my mind, I fell into a deep sleep.  Knocked unconscious from the extreme pain, I dreamt I was climbing up the high dive ladder at my childhood pool.  When I got to the top, the ladder rose up through the sky, beyond the earth and into the darkness of the Universe.  As I stood on the end of the diving board, surrounded by total blackness, "Trust me" was spoken so soothingly that I surrendered completely and fell into the dark abyss.

I woke cocooned in angel wings feeling safe and protected, knowing everything was going to be ok....some how, some way, some day.

From the time I was born, my life was one of disempowerment.  Mental, psychological, physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse were part of my every day experience.

At the age of 43 with the prognosis of permanent disability, learning to walk again, a diagnosis of chronic pain in the form of CRPS, parenting a suicidal teen, being alienated from my eldest son, being a stay-at-home mom for decades with no income, ending a 20 year marriage and facing abuse by the very justice system put in place to protect me.....I survived and broke free. After advocating in the courts and facilitating support groups in my community and the local battered women's shelter it became obvious to me that this approach was not working. As Albert Einstein said, "We can't solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." I found a different way. I healed my mind, body, and spirit finally ending abuse in my life. I created Empowered Metamorphosis to share my truth, love, and wisdom to help others reclaim their power and live lives free of abuse.
