During the pandemic my life completely cracked open.

I was working in the ICU—an experience of immense pressure that left a lasting impact on me. Not long after, while I was still processing that chapter, my mother unexpectedly took her own life.

That moment became a turning point, bringing several layers of my life into focus at once, forcing me to confront the ways I had been self-abandoning in all areas of my life and especially for the system I had devoted my career to.

Grief became my most powerful teacher.

This journey led me down a path of deep inner and outer exploration— leading me to travel to Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, and Italy.

During this chapter I reconnected with my with my roots, sat with Indigenous teachers, expanded my studies of consciousness and holistic healing, reclaimed my artistry, reinvented my career entirely, and attracted the like-minded community that I call my “soul family” until this day.

This journey informs the work I do today as an educator and mentor, supporting others as they navigate the evolving landscape of alternative healing.
