For those who grew up before they were ready.
Understand your patterns. Strengthen your boundaries. Build the stability you never had.
You learned early how to take care of others, how to stay alert, how to sense what was needed before anyone said it. Those skills helped you survive then, and now they’re quietly running your adult life in ways that leave you overwhelmed and drained.
You notice everything.
A tone. A pause. A shift in someone else’s mood. It all comes in quickly, and it’s hard to keep it contained.
You’ve probably called yourself “sensitive,” but the reality is simpler and harder:
You never learned where you end and other people begin.
So everything gets in, and everything spills out.
> Maybe you react faster than you want to.
> Maybe you over-explain or over-apologize.
> Maybe you get angry and then feel ashamed.
> Maybe you try to control things so you don’t get hurt.
> Maybe you shut down when it’s all too much.
You’re functional in the world, work, responsibilities, life... but inside, it feels like you’re constantly managing an emotional tide that never stops rising.
But here's the good news:
This is a pattern, shaped by your history, your wiring, and the roles you learned to play long before adulthood.
And once you understand the pattern, you can change how you relate, to others, and to yourself.
Not by becoming less emotional, but by becoming more grounded.
Not by shutting down, but by learning how to hold your center.
Not by avoiding closeness, but by staying yourself inside it.
If this feels uncomfortably accurate, that’s usually the moment when real change becomes possible.
Not by pushing harder, not by trying to control yourself, but by understanding what’s actually driving your reactions.
If you’re ready to feel steadier on the inside and to stop doing this alone, let’s talk.
“When I first started working with Ikey, I couldn’t even tell you what I was feeling. Everything was a mess and I thought if I just worked harder or explained myself better, it would somehow get better. But of course it didn't. Ikey showed me how to listen to what I've been shutting off for years. The result is better relationships with my family, friends, girlfriend and...myself."

The Work We’ll Do, Together
Unlearning the roles you had to play.
You’ll begin separating who you became to survive, the caretaker, the peacekeeper, the overachiever, from who you actually are.This is where self-respect, calm, and real agency begin.
Understanding the patterns that still run your life.
We’ll uncover the emotional habits you learned too early, over-explaining, shutting down, absorbing others’ moods, and teach you how to respond from a steadier, more grounded place.
Building healthy boundaries that protect connection.
Not walls, not withdrawal. Real boundaries: the kind that protect your well-being and your relationships. You’ll learn how to stay yourself without disappearing or overflowing.
Creating a life that feels like yours.
As the noise quiets, you’ll reconnect with what brings you ease, meaning, and stability.
"I came to Ikey during a difficult time. Thanks to her I was able to sort out my emotions from reality and learn how to better take care of myself. I didn’t know I had that in me."
