About Isabel
And Gateway House of Healing
I'm glad you're here.
From age six, I trained as a classical ballet dancer. The artistry was my space to breathe, express, and fully exist—until my body began to shut down. By eighteen, as conventional medicine ran out of answers and my organs continued to fail, I had to walk away from the life I thought I was destined to live.
In the chasm that loss left behind, I began a journey to heal my body, mind, and soul. From pursuing a degree in first nursing, then psychology, to heal C-PTSD, to discovering Reiki and Shamanism in an attempt restore my connection to life, those years of healing shaped the person I’ve become.
As I wove myself back together through somatic healing, Shamanic wisdom, spiritual psychology, and a deep connection to my inner voice, I vowed to spend my life helping others do the same.
Now, I hold a sacred space of permission, guiding others on their paths of reconnection. I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about remembering who we truly are beneath the stories we tell ourselves.
If you’re ready to walk this path with me, I hope you’ll subscribe to the (Soul)iloquies, listen to the podcast, enroll in a course, or work with me one on one.
This is our space to release, reconnect, and remember how to bloom.
My Work
The modalities I call on include:
- Somatic healing & nervous system regulation
- Subconscious reprogramming
- Emotional processing & release
- Shamanic healing
- Reiki, Chakra healing, and energy work
- Guided meditations
- EFT (tapping) & belief work
- Spiritual and Life Coaching
- Soul Speak- a modality to help you hear the voice of your Soul
- Psychology and neuroscience
I bridge science and spirituality to help you heal and transform by rewriting subconscious patterns and reconnecting with your inner wisdom. With a background in nursing, psychology, and spiritual healing, I blend neuroscience and ancient Shamanic teachings into a grounded, compassionate practice.
I have been honored to train in Shamanism with teachers like Christine Renee, Kim Doney Boyle, and Beth Beurkens, and I hold certifications in Reiki, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and Coaching. I consider myself an eternal student—I’m always learning how to integrate new research while honoring the inherent wisdom of everyone I work with.
A Letter from My Soul to Yours
Dear One,
If you’ve found your way here, then you most likely know what it feels like to believe you aren’t enough, spending your days giving away pieces of yourself in an effort to be worthy. You probably know what it feels like to struggle, and suffer, and live life with an invisible pane of glass separating you from the joy, beauty, and sacred rest your Soul is craving.
I know the pain of living as half of yourself, and I know what it takes to feel whole again.
You’ve carried the stories in your body for years—stories that have shaped who you believe you are, what you think is possible, and the way you move through the world.
I’m here to remind you: Those stories you carry aren’t set in stone. They can be retold. Rewoven. Made new.
I believe that we are meant to live lives rich with magic, meaning, and connection — one that feels deeply nourishing, fully supported, and aligned with our inner wisdom.
I believe in healing that is both practical and sacred, in transformation that touches every layer of your being, and in the possibility of a life that feels like your own. Through Gateway, I help you meet yourself again — not as the world has shaped you, but as you truly are.
Whether you arrive here in a season of longing, loss, or deep curiosity, my invitation is the same: step through the gateway. Bring all of yourself. Leave nothing behind. On the other side is not a different you — but the real you, finally free to live fully.
Xo, Isabel

About Gateway
Gateway was born from a simple but powerful vision: To create a space where people can return to their truest selves.
Gateway is a space of sacred permission — to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and remember how to live with balance, flow, connection, and ease. It’s a space for everyone, myself included, to feel safe, seen, resourced, and grounded in the rapture of being fully alive.
The name comes from the idea that there is always a threshold we can cross into a truer way of being. Sometimes we need a guide, a companion, or even a gentle push to step through.
Because on the other side of the gateway, there’s a life that feels fully yours. And I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to walk through.
You are safe. You are loved. You are seen. You are enough.
