My healing path began in 1998 when I stepped into the world of Western medicine, preparing for nursing school and trusting in the system. In 2010, everything changed. A traumatic dog attack led to prescription drug dependence and a deepening cycle of addiction that forced me to confront my own vulnerability.

By 2012, I made a life altering decision. I stepped away from the Western model and began walking a different path. I turned toward yoga, cannabis, psilocybin, and alternative healing practices, choosing to take responsibility for my recovery and reclaim my life.

Over the next decade, I lived nomadically, traveling across 44 states, deepening my connection to nature, music, and spirit. I trained in India, Thailand, and the U.S., studying yoga, Thai massage, reflexology, and energy work. Through both personal healing and sacred ceremony, I began transforming my pain into purpose.

Since 2021, I’ve immersed myself in sacred medicines like Ayahuasca, Kambô, Rapé, and Sananga, while expanding my training in Reiki, sound therapy, women’s circles, and somatic healing. On February 2, 2022, I officially said goodbye to alcohol through an intensive Kambô protocol and have remained alcohol free since. My freedom from drugs and alcohol is not theoretical. It is lived.

In 2025, I completed my Advanced Kambô Practitioner training in the Amazon jungle, deepening my commitment to working responsibly with traditional medicines. In May 2027, I plan to graduate with my Associate of Arts in Substance Abuse Counseling, and in July 2027, I will earn my Bachelor’s degree in Integrative Health with specializations in Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy, and Holistic Nutrition.

Every chapter of my life has shaped how I now hold space. I do this work with reverence, lived experience, formal education, and deep respect for the courage it takes to heal.
