I look at those big life experiences as my masterclass—my initiation into the role I play now. When traditional medicine didn’t have the answers, I became my own advocate. I explored alternative modalities—Eastern medicine, functional medicine, naturopathy, and homeopathy—and found practitioners who truly supported me. Piece by piece, I wove together a healing path that worked for me.

Through this process, I fell in love with learning how deeply our minds and bodies are connected, and how much power we have to heal ourselves. Healing isn’t something that just happens to us—it’s something we actively co-create. The more I learned, the more I wanted to share these real, powerful tools that transformed my health.

This led me to formal training. I became a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, trained as a Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner, and completed masterclasses on nervous system regulation, limbic system retraining, mold toxicity, and MCAS. As a lifelong learner, I continue to expand my education, studying under mentors like Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Sharon Shelton, always deepening my own practice and adding modalities to my toolbox.

While my certifications are important, what truly matters is that I have lived experience. I know what it feels like to be sick, lost, and overwhelmed, and I know what it takes to climb out—and just as importantly, what it takes to manage my health day by day. Healing isn’t a one-time thing; it’s something I must continue to nurture and maintain, and I’m here to help others do the same.
