My story probably sounds a lot like yours...
For years, I couldn't figure out why I felt others' pain so acutely...
It got to the point that I believed something was seriously wrong with me.
If I walked in a room, I'd suddenly feel tense and angry without knowing why. Later, I'd find out that some issue was going on with someone in the room, making them angry.
I'd feel sick to my stomach for days (or longer) after watching the news or a violent movie. Yet, all my friends could watch either and be completely fine.
Upon seeing something sad happen (such as an animal hit by a car), sorrow would overwhelm me for weeks. Yet, others who saw the same thing would be sad at first, but quickly shrug it off.
Worse, I found myself helping everyone and everything, running myself into the ground. I couldn't say "no" to any cause or any person in pain; their pain was my pain and I had to make it stop, even if it meant I was hurting myself in the process.
The amount of suffering I was feeling—and the exhausting effect it was having on me—made me view this intense empath ability as a curse, not a gift.
SO, I started a desperate search for answers…after a ton of research
I finally realized 3 critical things:
Being an Empath—someone who is highly tuned to other's pain and emotions—is a real thing. I am one, and if you are reading this, you likely are, too.
I am not the only Empath in the world (even though it felt like it many times). In fact, while we are a minority of the population, there are many Empaths in the world.
Psychologists now say that anywhere from 1 out of every 5 or 1 out of every 25 people are Empaths. (It's not a ton of people, so that is why you may be feeling very alone in the world, too!)With proper resources, training, and tools, I could actually DO something with this hyper-feeling-ness, like assist people to release their pain or blocked emotions, or even help someone to heal from disease.
Once I was able to accept this and then develop myself and my own tools properly, I went from being exhausted and overwhelmed by the world to being empowered and able to heal others and myself.
I want to share this knowledge with you because I want to stop your suffering and help you see YOUR empathic ability as a gift, too.
And so…the Empath Institute was born!

How to use your empathic gift in ANY profession (yes, you can be a healing person without being a professional healer)...

What’s an empathic badass?
It’s an empath that’s fully in charge of their gifts.
They make decisions on who and what they allow into their energy field.
They understand whose energy and emotions they are feeling, and know how to pull back from experiencing something they are not meant to carry.
They know that they aren’t weird or “woo woo,” because there’s a scientific reason they are wired the way they are…
They never deny people help, but they do choose to put their energy where it is needed and appreciated…
They sleep at night, because they know how to disconnect from everyone and everything to gain critically needed rest…
They understand their worth and stop devaluing themselves…
They believe in their intuitive hits and gut instincts…
They trust their instincts…
They gratefully receive as much as they give, allowing a powerful flow of energy to them and through them
They care about themselves as much as they care about others
They understand that they cannot help; anyone if they burn out, and they have tools and practices to make sure they don’t…
They stop trying to save people who don’t want saving…
They stop putting good energy after bad, and set boundaries in toxic and depleting relationships and environments…
What it’s NOT:
It’s not teaching you to stop helping people
It’s not teaching you to stop caring
It’s not teaching you how to shut down completely
It’s not saying you are better than other people
It’s not teaching you to stop being an empath
It’s about knowing who you are
And using those gifts in a healthy, powerful way.
This is particularly helpful for all the professional helpers out there - the therapists, counselors, healers, social workers, teachers, and healthcare professionals.
You cannot keep on helping and helping without having tools to release all that you carry…you will burn out.
Let me show you some simple - but super powerful - practices to allow you to do the work you do with power, conviction, and strength.
You’re a helper, so you are already a badass…
Now, let’s help you see your empath nature as your strength, and bring power to all areas of your life.
