My mom, stepmom, and sister all paved the way. They were very openly spiritual, but I subconsciously tried rejecting that part of me. I was always more of the “quiet observer” (as my stepmom calls me). Just taking in the path of everyone around me without making any moves that were not precisely calculated. I was always drawn to the spiritual stores, enthralled with the Buddhist way of life, and called to yoga, but I wasn’t quite ready for it yet.

​

I went down a traditional path of engineering and wound up at 25 years old in an office 8-10 hours a day, drinking heavily on the weekends, and married, to one of the greatest loves & lessons of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this phase for a while. It felt safe, exciting to be a wife, and fun to be the “party girl” that had a rowdy group of friends.

​

But suddenly, I found a gradually thickening aching in my chest. A desire to stand up in the office and scream at the top of my lungs. I felt myself expanding… but I was trapped by the walls that I had built around me.​

​

I quit my 9 to 5 career to pursue other projects. Of course, when my safe, confined box was no longer available, I felt myself questioning the other identities I had built. My energy was swirling with questions of expanse and purpose when I found myself sitting with the strongest psychedelic in the world in Tulum, MX. This 20-minute journey opened doors inside of me that were anciently locked away.

​

I entered into a cocoon phase. I faced and released trauma from my teen years, I became comfortable expressing myself emotionally again, I faced fears of vulnerability, rediscovered my voice, dove deep into creative outlets, and found the sacred meaning in the word "no." Things that I used to find normal (i.e. drinking, doing little party favors, having a conversation I didn’t want to be having) would send me into utter panic. This experience gave me no choice other than to keep pursing what felt right in each moment.

​

Luckily, the right spiritual teachers were in my life and I was guided into finding consistency with my spiritual practices. Every single day I found moments to sit with myself in silence. 10 minutes of breathwork here, 15 minutes of meditation there. I started painting, singing, cold plunging and dancing as much as possible. I was spun deeper into my cocoon with no expectation of what would emerge on the other side. 

​

I gave myself time & space to just be.​

​

What emerged from my journey of deep inner work was strength, courage, and calmness that I had never experienced before. It presented an inner knowing that I needed to help others free themselves from the parts of their mind that are keeping them misaligned.

​

I launched Heal with Camille in 2022 to guide others on their journey to liberation through stillness & authentic expression. 

​

I became inspired by my spiritual teachers and leaders like Gabor Mate, Richard Schwartz, Peter Levine, Deb Dana, & more. I drew from my 200hr YTT I received in 2018 and became a Certified Energy Healer, ICCE Method Level 2 Instructor, and Certified Anjali Breathwork Practitioner.

​

And yet… in my blood, I don’t feel that any certificate, class, or psychologist could teach what I uncovered through hours and hours of being with myself in stillness.​

​

I’m not a coach. I’m not a healer. I’m simply a mirror to help my clients explore their curiosity about the human experience. ​

​

I will continue to build on my practices, heal my heart, shift and adapt through life, and try to stay as present as possible, because I know its the only thing in this world that matters... and its the only way to inspire others to do the same.

​

I know what it’s like to work through intense trauma, to have panic attacks and anxiety, to need to shift your relationship with alcohol/drugs, to mourn people who are still alive, to feel like you have everything you thought you wanted just to realize you cannot disregard that voice telling you, “there is more.” 

​

I am you.

​

As I move through life and change between chapters, I hope to inspire the same in those I come in contact with. Nothing is permanent - each moment we have a new opportunity to open to the world.

Thank you for following my journey, I'm so grateful you are here. xx
