"I didn’t come to wellness through perfection. I came through pain, through sound, and through returning to myself—again and again."

I’ve been working in the health and wellness space for over 12 years—but my journey into healing began long before certifications and credentials.

Like so many, my path has been shaped by pain and transformation. From navigating childhood trauma and my parents’ divorce to experiencing sexual assault and the emotional chaos that followed, I’ve walked through deep shadows.

What always held me was sound. Music. Ceremony. A space—however simple—to feel it all.

 

Whether through vocal toning, journaling, or lying on the earth with my hand on my heart, sound has been my way back to myself.

In recent years, I also moved through the deepest grief I’ve ever known—losing several beloved souls in a short span of time. That grief shattered me open. But in its rawness, it revealed the depth of love that had always been there. It reminded me that healing isn’t always about getting better—it’s about getting honest. Allowing heartbreak to be witnessed. Letting music and silence hold what words can’t.

​I became a certified sound healer, massage therapist, and holistic nutritionist not just to help others, but because I was once the one desperately looking for relief, connection, and truth.

 

I’ve now held space for hundreds of people—many of them women—in settings ranging from private sessions and retreats to community circles and healing workshops. I’ve worked in women’s centers supporting those navigating domestic violence, addiction, and mental health challenges, always with the same intention: to create safe, grounded spaces for people to come home to themselves.

To me, “spirituality” doesn’t mean pretending to be perfect or performing rituals. It means showing up—messy, real, laughing one minute and crying the next. It means gathering together without pretense and remembering that healing can also feel joyful, playful, and wildly human.

I created this space because I know what it’s like to feel lost and overwhelmed by wellness trends and external advice. And I also know how empowering it is to remember that your body already knows the way.

 

Through sound, education, and simple nourishing practices, I’m here to help you listen—to your voice, your rhythm, and your truth.
