MY STORY
I am what I teach.
"Life has a funny way of taking us through transformative chapters that encourage us to think differently and step out beyond our comfort zones. I, like many, faced a challenging chapter that sparked my journey of self-discovery. It was an experience that made me question everything I thought I knew: Who am I? Where did I come from? What is my purpose? These questions became my compass, leading me to uncover some very beautiful truths about myself and the world around me.
In my late teens, when my father fell ill, I began to reflect deeply on my beliefs. This period of uncertainty opened my eyes to the mental programming that I had around my identity and my understanding of life. I realized that many of those beliefs were holding me back from creating a joyful and fulfilling life for myself and with others. This awakening experience was the catalyst I needed to create space for new thoughts and to consciously choose how I wanted to view my life.
Over the past decade, I have immersed myself in the study of energy, science, and spirituality. Surprisingly enough, all of that information led to the fascinating, and also extremely important, exploration of the brain and how our thoughts shape our realities. By rewiring my beliefs, I replaced the old, limiting narratives with an uplifting, empowering one; and I continue to do so- to my surprise, as I transformed my inner world, my external reality began to blossom too!
We all have our own challenges, mine involved caretaking for my father during a 13 year fight for survival. The experience taught me that losing yourself can be a part of a greater journey- an opportunity to evolve into a better version of yourself. The pain I faced became a stepping stone to profound growth. I take immense pride in my work because life handed me a cracked vase, that I was able to melt down, reshape, rebuild and add new flowers too.
Today I think, move, and speak differently. I emerged from my struggles not just as a survivor, but as the unexpected hero of my own story. As your local Therapeutic Life Coach, public speaker, and soon-to-be author, my mission is to encourage self education, understanding, love, safety, hope and clarity throughout our community. As we each personally undergo this beautiful journey of transformation- the world is beginning to change one by one. You matter, and your mind matters.
Thank you for being here with me—together we create a brighter future for the whole collective!
