The Heart Behind Healing Confluence

Hi, I’m Tori, and Healing Confluence is the work of both my heart and my lived experience. For years, I navigated my own chronic illness and trauma while trying to hold life together. I know what it feels like to be dismissed in a doctor’s office, to juggle endless appointments, and to feel like healing is always just out of reach.

At the same time, my professional background gave me the tools to see patterns, design systems, and advocate effectively — skills that became essential in managing my own care. Healing Confluence was born from the meeting of these two worlds: lived experience and practical expertise.

My values — honesty, compassion, responsibility, nurturance, and sustainable growth — guide everything I do here. My role isn’t to heal you myself, but to walk alongside you: helping you advocate, organize, connect with the right care team, and put systems in place so you can live more fully in your mind, body, and soul..

Why Healing Confluence Exists

Healing Confluence is more than a service—it’s a calling shaped by lived experience, professional skill, and a deep commitment to sustainable change.

  • Lived Experience & Resilience
    I’ve walked through the challenges of trauma, chronic illness, and the medical maze. These experiences shaped my empathy, clarity, and ability to support others who feel unseen or overwhelmed.

  • Clarity & Communication
    I have a gift for taking what feels complicated and making it understandable. Whether it’s medical jargon, emotional overwhelm, or system navigation, I can translate it into clear, practical steps.

  • Systems & Solutions
    With a background in process improvement and root cause analysis, I know how to design systems that reduce stress and create sustainable routines. Healing doesn’t have to be chaotic—it can be structured in ways that actually support life.

  • Mind–Body Connection
    My own healing journey revealed how inseparable our physical, emotional, and environmental health truly are. I use this understanding to help others see the bigger picture and connect the dots in their own stories.

  • Creative Integration
    Healing is more than checklists. I bring creativity, metaphor, and story to the process so that people feel not only guided, but also inspired and connected to themselves.

Healing Confluence is where advocacy, practical systems, and lived wisdom come together. It’s where the path forward becomes gentler, clearer, and uniquely yours.

  • "I am saddened to hear of your constant battle with navigating such a debilitating condition. Its presence may be a key driver behind why you 'show up' the way you do – human centered. Everyone always talks about how leading with empathy separates good leaders from the great. You do it naturally. There is no doubt you will continue showing up, leading with empathy, through the next chapters coming your way."
