She/her

Did it feel overwhelming, luminous, terrifying, and holy all at once—something more real than real… even though no one around you could understand it?

Maybe you were even diagnosed as mentally ill when, deep down, you knew something meaningful was unfolding.
You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
You may have been touching something the world doesn’t yet know how to name.

I’m Malinda, a Certified Spiritual Emergence Coach® with a background in mental health and counseling psychology. I was trained to recognize crisis—but nothing in my education prepared me for the spiritual emergency I went through myself.
It didn’t follow the textbook. It didn’t fit the clinical model.
But it transformed me at the deepest level.

What I couldn’t learn in school, I’ve learned through lived experience—by walking through the fire and coming out the other side.

I am personally familiar with mystical experiences, Kundalini awakening, and shamanic initiations. I’ve known what it is to be undone by divine encounter, to descend into inner darkness, and to be reshaped by visions I didn’t ask for. I’ve traveled to both heavenly and hellish realms—and through it all, I found meaning by framing my experience through a Jungian lens as a Hero’s Journey, one that brought me back to the center changed, but whole.

 

Now I help others navigate the space where awakening meets overwhelm—where crisis holds meaning, and spiritual emergence longs to be integrated with care and truth.

I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to help you process your experience at your own pace—no labels, no shame, just deep listening and respectful support.

 

If you know deep down that what you went through meant something, I’m here to help you reclaim that truth and find solid ground beneath your feet.
