How did the 7 Primal Wounds™ originate?

I’m a critical thinker, fiercely independent, and endlessly curious. I grew up off-grid in the Sierra Nevadas—no running water, no electricity—just resilience, resourcefulness, and a whole lot of character-building. That upbringing gave me a front-row seat to survival psychology, and it shaped my lifelong fascination with what drives human behavior.

Over years of working with people, I began noticing repeating emotional patterns — the same core injuries showing up beneath different stories, relationships, and life choices. I identified these patterns as the 7 Primal Wounds™ - invisible emotional injuries that shape our relationships, self-worth, and decision-making.

These wounds become unconscious scripts we live from.

My work helps people recognize those scripts, interrupt them, and consciously choose a new way forward.

Because once you see the pattern, you can rewrite your life.

Your PRIMAL Wound

If you shut down, lash out, overachieve, people-please, or disappear in relationships — you’re not broken. You’re reacting from a Primal Wound.

These aren’t flaws. They’re survival strategies formed when your nervous system learned how to stay safe.

The real problem? Not knowing the wound is there.

Using insights from neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical behavioral tools, the 7 Primal Wounds™ framework helps you:

Discover the wound driving your behavior
Decode your emotional reactivity
Reset survival patterns that keep you stuck

If You Are…

Feeling stuck
Exhausted from repeating the same patterns

Straining to achieve what you know you’re capable of
Craves clarity, deeper connection, or the ability to speak your truth without apology

You’ve landed in the right place.
