-Client Testimonial
I’m glad you’re here.
Hi, I’m Darcey Kesner Hawkins, the founder of the I Choose Me!™️ Platform. I am affectionately known as Akamai Wahine, meaning “smart woman” in Hawaiian. For years, I struggled to embrace that identity, believing that a smart woman would seamlessly blend into her surroundings and avoid the pain of childhood abuse.
Having experienced sexual molestation by my step-grandfather, I understand the deep impact trauma can have on one’s sense of self. Generations of women have been conditioned to prioritize others over themselves, often silencing their own needs. However, I refuse to be defined by my past or limited by the programming I endured.
My journey of healing and transformation has shown me that change is possible and that you, too, can reclaim your power. I am here to guide you on your path to empowerment and alignment, helping you embrace your healing and unite all aspects of yourself in harmony. If you’re ready to declare “I Choose Me!™️,” let’s embark on this journey together.
