How the journey started...
COVID was the first thing that started testing the walls & masks I had built to keep me safe. For the first time, they were failing me. I could tell because I began to realize that I had built them so high that I even blocked myself out. A year later, my parent's divorce happened, which was the second test, and it fully broke me down.
My initial response to my parent’s divorce was a big indication of how I dealt with my emotions at the time: straight into fixing and using all my energy to make everyone else feel better while ignoring my own emotions. I believed my worth was determined by things outside of me, something I had no control over. Trying to gain control as a perfectionist was imperative to my well-being because of how overwhelming and confusing my internal world was.
During these few years, I started working with an Emotion Code Practitioner and it completely changed my life. Then I watched the Tony Robbins documentary, “I’m Not Your Guru”. For the first time, I felt connected to something bigger than the pain I felt in those few years. The power of helping other people shift their lives through their emotions & mindset sparked an emotion I had never truly felt before, PURPOSE. This is where my healing expanded into the healing of others.

Some Non-Negotiables In My Life & Biz
Creativity
Creativity serves as both a method of emotional release and grounding that has allowed me to be MORE PRODUCTIVE!!
Community
Life is not meant to be experienced alone and neither is healing. Community can be a huge support when you allow it to be.
Mindfulness
In my opinion, this is the ultimate key to life. A mindful approach has the power to impact everything from your relationships to the way you wake up each morning.
Balance
Between work & play. In healing, balancing both the darker moments with the lighter ones. I don't believe life or healing is meant to be one or other but learning to flow through each.
