Helping Women Heal – May Event
I am a big believer in listening to your intuition and taking action. Back in December, in the middle of my workout, an idea hit me like a lightning bolt! I NEED to start a fundraiser to help women in 2024. Okay…but God, how do I help them? I lowered the speed on my treadmill and my mind began racing. What has positively impacted my life…that I need to share with other women?? Then the light switched on!
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my EMDR therapy journey saved and started my life. I now know what I need to do. I need to raise money for women to receive their first therapy session covered by donations. Why? I’ll be honest…for years I let money be the leading factor of not receiving help. Yes people can go through their insurance, but sometimes insurance won’t cover these sessions or the deductible is so high that they may say not now…not at this time. Or some may think, you know what, I don’t know if therapy is really for me. I don’t want to waste my time or waste my money. This would give women so many opportunities to start their own healing journeys, and that got me excited! Below is the Spotfund link for the fundraiser, check it out and come back!

Okay…so now I know I need to raise money, but where does that money go to?? I traveled back to 2020 when I started my own healing journey and came up with the answer. IOME Guilt Free Self Care! This incredible office helped me while I was living in Pasadena CA. where I did all my sessions remotely. Maybe…just maybe, Becky the CEO of IOME could be interested in my vision? I got brave and hit the send button on an email that got this passion project rolling. Through a lot of Yes’s and meeting some incredible women along the way…it’s all lead up to our May Event.
May 11th we will be at the Maxline Brewing in Fort Collins CO. Come join us for some good drinks, good food, and great conversations!

All the proceeds are going directly to The IOME Guilt Free Self Care Scholarship. This is where women will be gifted with their first therapy session after they receive their free consultation to find their right Therapist. Anyone from anywhere can call IOME and ask about the Scholarship and see if they are able to work directly with IOME. There are some rules and laws that IOME must abide by when working with someone that doesn’t live in the State of Colorado. If you are NOT eligible, they will help guide you in the right direction of finding someone in your local area.
I am overwhelmed with so much gratitude in this very moment. I am so grateful that IOME opened their arms to me and this vision and turned it into a reality. IOME has impacted my life in the most positive way. My Therapist was EVERYTHING I needed in order to move forward with my life and start the family my Husband and I wanted. Check out IOME’s site below. We hope to see you at the Maxline! Get ready for an incredible party! Cheers!
