Welcome Home to Yourself

What if light wasn’t just a metaphor —
but a feeling you could wake up with?

You’ve spent years being who you needed to be—
holding it all together, showing up for everyone else,
trying to meet expectations that were never your own.

But somewhere along the way…
you lost touch with her.

The woman inside. The one who used to dream.
The one who felt things deeply.
The one who still whispers, “There’s more.”

I’m Teresa.
And this work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about walking you back to your Light.

The one you were born with.
The one that never left—just got buried
under shoulds, shame, and survival mode.

Here, we do things differently.
We get curious instead of critical.
We honor your wisdom instead of chasing someone else’s path.
We stop numbing and start listening.

Whether it’s alcohol, food, perfection, or performance
that’s kept you disconnected—
this is where we turn inward instead of away.

Because your life isn’t meant to be managed.
It’s meant to be lived.
Fully. Boldly. Freely.

And it starts by loving yourself all the way back to Light.

Hi, I’m Teresa. I don’t believe in labels —

I believe in light.

I believe in light.

When I stopped drinking in 2003, I didn’t know I was stepping into the light—I only knew I couldn’t keep living in the dark.

For years, alcohol had been my shortcut to connection, ease, and escape. It helped me avoid feeling too much and made it easier to show up in the world—but it also dimmed my brilliance and delayed the discovery of who I really was.

Eventually, I reached a point where I felt detached from the gift of my own life. I wasn’t living—I was enduring. Going through the motions, drifting further from the woman I was meant to be.

The idea of never drinking again once felt impossible. But something shifted when I got curious. I began asking, what if there’s more? And that curiosity lit a spark.

One small choice at a time, I started reclaiming myself. I stopped numbing. I started noticing. I began choosing light, again and again—and with every choice, I grew into someone I never imagined possible. Whole. Present. Alive.

I’ve been walking this path for over twenty years now. Not just without alcohol—but toward something much more powerful: the freedom to be fully me.

That’s what I teach today—how to love yourself back to light.
