It was supposed to be a fun family night—a casual evening with friends and their kids. I found myself in the kitchen, chatting with another woman who’d been through betrayal. Vulnerably, I asked if she had any advice for healing while trying to repair my marriage in the wake of infidelity.
She told me about her own self-rediscovery journey and introduced me to Agatha.
At the time, I had only just begun dipping my toes back into spirituality. I hesitated. But weeks later, I made the call.
Agatha explained her process — a 6- to 9-month commitment broken into three phases:
- First: 3 sessions, once a week for 3 weeks
- Second: 3 sessions, every 2–3 weeks
- Third: 3 sessions, once a month
I decided to take the plunge, using my HSA card. And my mind was blown.
This woman helped me find my voice again. She encouraged me to start journaling, pouring every raw, unfiltered thought onto paper. She guided me to meet my inner child — and I cried, hard. My little girl was scared to speak, frozen in fear. But with each session, the ice walls cracked.
By the fourth or fifth session, something miraculous happened: I forgave my ex for his infidelity and past actions. People I told couldn’t believe it. But it happened — because of Agatha’s work.
She tasked me with mirror work, and it changed everything. I learned to meditate, to regulate my triggers at home and at work, to speak up when necessary, and to let go when holding on hurt more.
Then came the day I met my shadow self — fierce, beautiful, powerful. Her name: Phoenix.
She became my symbol of transformation, the reason I spent a year as a fiery redhead, the inspiration behind the phoenix tattoo on my thigh. It’s funny — I’d always wanted that tattoo. My Pinterest board was full of them. But meeting Phoenix made it clear: it was meant to be.
Under Agatha’s graceful hands, I transformed into a woman I’m proud to be today. I stood my ground in ways I still don’t fully understand. I had the strength to pack the belongings of the person I loved with every fiber of my being, ask them to make a choice, and walk away when they didn’t choose me.
It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But I learned to choose myself. And when the hurt came, I still knew — the sun was shining, and our future was only bright.
