I'm Winter
I was born with a different name. It identified me through my childhood, teenage years, and early twenties.
Then, in 2009, life took me down a new path. At 25, I started to wonder, “Why am I here? What is my purpose? What am I going to do with this life?”
I changed my name. I started over.
After shaving my head, I discarded most of my material belongings and began the search for the answers to those questions. I thought I would find them, and happiness, in external ways. I didn’t. Instead, a beautiful opportunity came my way.
I entered the jungle for a year. That’s where I learned to truly change, I needed to choose to surrender, relax, open, and welcome my essential, authentic self into the world. It took another year to integrate the experience and develop a deeper, more loving relationship with my body, mind, and divinity . . . with all of me . . . and to emerge into a more joyous state of being! It’s an amazing feeling, one to experience, not describe.
I would love to share the gifts I discovered. Together we will create a safe space to uncover, explore, embrace and embody all that you are.
Experience
I love to travel, so it’s no surprise I often opt for work and classes that take me on adventures elsewhere in the world, with Peru, Thailand, India, New Zealand and Costa Rica among my destinations so far. Plus, my passion for learning and growth means I continually explore new opportunities as they arise. It’s exciting and humbling to see how these experiences weave into my work with others and my own life.
