From Struggle to Strength – The Story Behind Healing Ground
Life has a way of taking unexpected turns, and sometimes those turns lead to places we never imagined we’d go. For me, that place was a 65-month prison sentence. As someone who had never historically taken risks, the idea of being caught up in a conspiracy charge and being separated from my young daughter was unimaginable. Nothing weighs heavier than being powerless to help the emotional toll it took on my 10-year-old daughter, Healing Ground is the result of that journey—a mission born out of faith, pain, love, and a deep desire to help others facing similar challenges.
A Journey Marked by Separation
Before my incarceration, my daughter and I were incredibly close. The sudden separation was deeply traumatic for both of us. The emotional pain she endured led to profound changes in her identity and how she saw herself in the world. For me, it was a moment of reckoning—a time to reflect on how I could still be there for her, even when I physically couldn’t. That reflection became the foundation of Healing Ground.
In those years, I learned that the trauma we experience can bleed over and cause emotional issues and trauma to our children that often takes many years and work to heal. Sometimes its all we can do to take one step in the direction of healing and work toward breaking the cycle of hurt and creating a legacy of hope and resilience.
The Birth of Healing Ground
When I came out the other side of incarceration, I knew I wasn’t the same person. I had experienced firsthand the challenges of separation, the heartbreak of strained relationships, and the overwhelming need to create something meaningful for the future. That’s where Healing Ground began.
Healing Ground isn’t just a platform—it’s a lifeline for parents and children navigating the complexities of separation. From secure cloud-based storage for heartfelt messages to guided resources rooted in Christian values and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it’s a place where families can heal, grow, and reconnect.
Why Healing Matters
Through Healing Ground, we aim to do more than provide tools—we strive to offer hope. For parents like me, the workbook and cloud-based storage became a way to ensure that even when I couldn’t be physically present, my love and wisdom were still accessible to my daughter. These tools serve as a bridge, allowing families to stay connected emotionally, even through life’s most challenging separations.
For children, like my daughter, these connections aren’t just about the past—they’re about creating a better future. By offering scholarships and resources, Healing Ground empowers children with the tools and opportunities to rise above their circumstances, break cycles of trauma, and build their own legacies.
Building a Legacy of Hope
Healing Ground is about more than my story. It’s about the countless families who’ve faced similar struggles—parents trying to reconnect with their children, and young adults seeking to understand their parents while navigating their own pain. It’s about breaking free from the burdens of the past and creating a new legacy of healing, resilience, and understanding.
Each message stored, each course completed, and each scholarship awarded represents a step toward that legacy. It’s a testament to the belief that no matter how far apart we may feel, connection is always possible.

This journey isn’t one that any of us have to walk alone. At Healing Ground, we’re building a community of people who believe in the power of reconnection and transformation. Whether you’re a parent, a child, or someone who wants to make a difference, you’re welcome here.

Healing Ground was born from one of the darkest periods of my life, but it’s become a beacon of light for families like mine. My hope is that this platform will help others navigate their own journeys of healing, just as it has for me.
