Healing trauma. Honoring sensitivity. Living aligned.

The Vital Spirit

For the Sensitive, the Spiritual, and the Deeply Feeling

As an Empath Mentor, I support empaths and neurodivergent souls in healing trauma, honoring sensitivity, and living in alignment—because your gifts were never the problem. They’re the beginning of your power.

What is an empath? Am I an empath?

Is This the Place for You?

Empaths come in all forms. You might not be totally sure if that word fits you — but if any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.

You’ve been called “too sensitive” for as long as you can remember.
You’ve learned to hide your emotions just to get by. It started with your parents, then continued with teachers, friends, partners, even coworkers or bosses — all reacting to your emotional honesty like it was a problem to fix.

You walk into a room and instantly feel the emotional undercurrent.
You read the room without thinking, adjusting yourself to keep the peace. You pick up on what’s unsaid, on edge when others are upset, even if they say they’re fine. You’ve been told you’re “too much” or “overreacting,” but the truth is — you feel more. And that’s real.

You’ve struggled to be fully seen in your relationships.
You shift and shape yourself depending on who you’re with — not to deceive, but to connect. You’re the glue in many of your relationships, but you’re also tired. You crave connection that honors the real you, not just the version of you that others are most comfortable with.

You know you’re here to contribute something meaningful.
Traditional jobs haven’t felt quite right — like you’re leaving part of yourself at the door. You feel called to do work that aligns with your values, your healing, your spirit. Maybe you’re dreaming of starting something of your own, or you already have.

If this sounds like you — welcome. You’re not too much. You’re not imagining things. You’re sensitive on purpose. And this is a place where that sensitivity is honored, supported, and celebrated.

From spiritual awakening to deep integration to the pursuit of purpose

Where Are You On Your Empath Journey?

The Vital Spirit can help you on your way

If you’ve often felt different, isolated, or like you’ve had to shape-shift to get by, welcome. Your sensitivity is not a burden to carry but a power to be understood.

The path of an empath is a journey of remembering your true self beneath the masks. It often unfolds in three stages: Awakening, Integration, and Purpose. Explore where you are on the path, remembering that becoming is never linear, so you can be in two places at the same time. Explore what The Vital Spirit offers empaths and come home to yourself with clarity and confidence.

When Empaths Awaken - Home

When Empaths Awaken

The Awakening stage is for empaths who are just beginning to understand their sensitivity, often following a spiritual awakening.

If you've spent your life feeling "too sensitive," drained by the emotions of others, or confused about who you are after years of people-pleasing, this is where your journey of self-discovery begins.

The focus here is on gaining self-awareness, learning foundational tools for energy management, and finding a supportive community to validate your experiences.

The goal is to see your sensitivity as a powerful asset, not a burden, by learning to stay in your body, clear your energy, and access your intuition.

Key offerings like the Empath Apprenticeship provide the core teachings to help you reclaim your energy, understand your intuitive senses, and live with confidence.

When Empaths Integrate

The Integration stage is for empaths who have done the initial work of awakening but now face the post-awakening struggle of feeling stuck between their past self and their newly discovered authentic self.

You may have the foundational tools but feel disconnected and exhausted as you try to apply them to your daily life with family, friends, and work.

The focus here shifts from learning more information to the deep, practical work of embodiment, consistent practice, and integration—which is the process of bringing "what is new into the story of what has always been".

This stage is about committing to living in a human body on Earth, aligning your daily life with your deepest values, and learning to manage your boundaries and energy so you stop compromising yourself and leaking energy.

The primary offering for this phase is the Living in Alignment, a year-long guided journey designed to provide a "supported, seasonal rhythm of embodied integration" so you can finally feel whole, rooted, and empowered.

When Empaths Pursue Purpose

The Purpose stage is for empaths who are stable in their sensitivity and feel a strong call to contribute something meaningful to the world.

After integrating your empathic nature, you now feel that traditional jobs aren't the right fit and are ready to use your gifts and values in your work.

This stage is for spiritually-minded or neurodivergent business owners who want to lead from alignment, not burnout, and create work that nourishes their soul.

The focus shifts to intuitive living—learning to trust and act on guidance from Spirit to follow your unique path—and aligned leadership. This is about building a business that reflects your vision for change and centers your gifts, supported by a sacred circle of entrepreneurial peers.

The main offering for this stage is Sacred Calling Circle, a guided program designed to support you in this next phase of your journey.
