About Oteja

I am inspired by an individual’s inherent capacity to emerge from the depths of emotional pain, evolving into a being whose awareness, intentionality, and vitality far surpass their original state.

From a very young age, high levels of sensitivity and awareness allowed me to deeply understand those around me. During a complex period involving significant losses and changes, I learned about dimensions of being human that are not unique to me.

A gift I received was intimately experiencing situations that individuals, families, and organizations are often not equipped to manage. I became very familiar with the depths of emotional pain, and the fear that drives survival. I developed strength and resilience that continue to serve me.

I know firsthand that the darkest feelings must be faced to be healed, and that this healing journey cycles through our lives. Choosing to build awareness takes uncommon levels of courage, determination, and compassion. It is not for the faint of heart. 

With skills that I continue to learn and refine, and with an ever-present curiosity, I am devoted to thriving. I accompany clients as they create and walk through the experiences of their lives, ranging from the unfathomable to the glorious. I welcome and embrace it all.

Being seen, accepted, and cared for as we are reminds us that we are worthy of seeing, accepting, and caring for ourselves. Although this is a common need, it is not commonly fulfilled.
