“The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it

About Me
My mission is simple yet profound: to help you break free from what holds you back—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—so you can reclaim your power and live a life filled with passion, purpose, and peace.
I have walked through fire. And in that fire, I discovered my purpose.
In 2007, a devastating heartbreak cracked me open, unearthing deep-rooted wounds I had long buried—fears of abandonment, fears of intimacy, layers of pain I didn’t know still lived within me. Though I had spent years writing, seeking therapy, and receiving spiritual blessings, it was this moment of profound emotional upheaval that triggered a spiritual awakening so intense it shattered my old self and opened a portal to deep healing. I began to feel the pain I had numbed for far too long.
That awakening ignited an insatiable hunger to understand health and healing on every level—body, mind, and soul. I dove deep into the world of holistic wellness, metaphysical practices, and spiritual study, eventually discovering the genuine happiness and unconditional self-love I never thought possible.
For most of my life, I worked on myself from the outside in—chasing perfection through obsessive workouts, constant busyness, or numbing when I couldn’t keep up. But during my awakening, I began a new journey—healing from the inside out. Yoga became my sanctuary, my medicine. It taught me to breathe, to be still, to move with grace through anxiety, depression, and addiction.
In my teens, 20s, and 30s, I battled depression, anxiety, and panic attacks—none of which were ever truly helped by the prescriptions I was given. The deeper cause was trauma I never addressed.
In 1996, I lost my fiancé, my best friend, and the father of my first-born son after he remained in a coma for three and a half years. His death sent me into a spiral of self-destruction. I masked my grief through addictions—shopping, alcohol, sleeping pills, ephedra-fat burners—anything to escape the pain. Then in 2001, I gave birth to my second child, a blessing who, I truly believe, saved my life.
But life would test me again. In 2006, I went through a long-overdue divorce, moved homes, and left the business my ex and I had built—all in the span of three months time. The emotional weight triggered debilitating IBS that no doctor or ER visit could cure. I had to heal myself. That’s when yoga found me—and once again, it saved me.
Yoga didn’t just ease my anxiety and panic attacks—it gave me the strength to quit smoking, drinking, and stimulants that were slowly draining my body and soul. Though I developed adrenal fatigue, I chose to face it head-on and make healing my priority. In 2018, I became a certified yoga teacher. Fitness, nature, and holistic living became pillars in my journey to wholeness.
And then came the greatest heartbreak of all.
In August 2023, I lost my first-born son—23 years after losing his father. Both had been in comas. Both were 28 years old. Both loved deeply and taught me lessons that changed me forever. Their lives and losses remind me that our time here is sacred. The love we give, the energy we bring, the legacy we leave—it matters.
Grief has become my greatest teacher, guiding me to live even more fully and love even more deeply. I’ve learned that we have a choice: to suffer… or to rise.
And rising, to me, means this:
Happiness is an inside job.
