My Adventure

5G1A6824.JPG

I’ve always been an open-minded and curious person, but my conscious path into this work began in a deeply personal way.

In 2017, my father was diagnosed with a rare stage four cancer. The diagnosis came as a shock—he had only a small, seemingly insignificant lump on his neck, with no other obvious symptoms. After meeting with multiple specialists and hearing the same prognosis, I was told there were few treatment options and a limited timeline.

In that moment, I felt something shift in me. I began researching everything I could—western medicine, alternative healing, and different approaches to supporting the body and mind through illness.

What started as an effort to help my father became the beginning of a much larger path.

A Path of Exploration

Over the following years, I immersed myself in studying healing across many different traditions. Initially, my focus was on supporting my father’s quality of life. Over time, that journey expanded into something deeper—questioning long-held beliefs about health, healing, and even myself.

This path has taken me across the world, including New Zealand, India, and El Salvador, where I studied different healing practices and ways of understanding the human experience across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

Most importantly, it taught me that healing is not one fixed path. It is personal, intuitive, and deeply self-guided.

My work now is about helping people explore what that path looks like for them—without overwhelm, confusion, or the belief that they have to figure it out alone.

My Nursing Background

My foundation is in traditional healthcare.

I graduated with honors from the University of Connecticut School of Nursing and spent six years working as an Emergency Department Nurse. I also completed travel nursing assignments in California, became a Certified Emergency Nurse, and earned my Master’s in Nursing from Drexel University.

During this time, I taught Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and CPR, and worked as an instructor in emergency medical training.

My clinical experience gave me a strong understanding of the human body, crisis care, and high-pressure decision making.

Bridging Two Worlds

During my graduate studies, I began to be exposed to integrative and complementary approaches to health. I had the opportunity to study bioenergy therapies, travel to India for international nursing education work, and train alongside practitioners working with Healing Touch in hospice care settings.

This opened a new layer of understanding for me—one that bridged science, intuition, and lived human experience.

Since then, I have become a Healing Touch Practitioner (energy healing), Experienced Intuitive & Channeler for receiving spiritual guidance, and studied Reiki, Reflexology, A Course in Miracles, Medical Medium teachings, and integrative approaches to healing informed by both science and spirituality.

My work today is a synthesis of these experiences.

My Approach

I support people in navigating emotional, physical, and energetic challenges through a combination of coaching, energy work, surf-based embodiment, and intuitive guidance.

My role is not to “fix” anyone, but to help create space where clarity, regulation, and self-trust can return.

I believe healing is deeply personal. There is no single path that works for everyone. My work is about helping you find your own way forward in a grounded, supported, and non-judgmental space.

My Own Healing Path

Over time, my path also became deeply personal in a different way.

I made the intentional decision to step away from traditional nursing in order to pursue a life that allowed for more time, presence, and connection—even if it meant moving away from financial stability and cultural expectations I had been conditioned to follow. This choice became part of my own healing process.

Along the way, I began to understand myself outside of traditional family and cultural frameworks, learning to trust my own inner guidance more deeply and define what a meaningful life looked like on my own terms.

My relationship to health also shifted through lived experience. I’ve navigated my own health challenges using a combination of both western medicine and alternative approaches in a way that felt practical, grounded, and financially sustainable. This helped me move away from extremes and into integration—choosing what actually supports the body rather than what fits a single system of belief.

Most importantly, I began to relate to my body differently. I don’t see symptoms as punishment or failure, but as information. My body has become something I listen to, not something I override. That shift has been one of the most important parts of my healing journey.

A Personal Note

My father’s journey deeply shaped my understanding of healing.

While he ultimately passed from cancer, his quality of life during that time was meaningful, connected, and full. He remained active and independent for most of his illness, and our time together during those years became profoundly close.

That experience changed how I understand healing itself—not always as recovery in the way we expect it, but sometimes as presence, connection, and meaning within the process of life itself.

It taught me to hold space for complexity, and to meet each person’s journey with respect, compassion, and openness.

A very wise healer I met shortly after my father’s diagnosis once shared something that stayed with me: not all healing happens through life. Sometimes healing happens through death.

At the time, that perspective was incredibly difficult to hold. I wanted deeply for my father to recover. We were very close, and his illness brought us into a level of connection that shaped everything—friends, co-creators, coworkers, travel companions, and shared exploration through alternative healing.

In many ways, his journey expanded our relationship while also challenging me in ways I had never experienced before.

Over time, I’ve come to respect that each person’s path is their own, even when it doesn’t unfold the way we hope. That understanding didn’t come easily, but it shifted how I relate to healing, control, and meaning.

It has now been several years since his passing. I miss him deeply, but I also see the impact his life and death have had—not only on me, but on my family and wider community. That experience continues to shape how I hold space for others: with respect, openness, and trust in each individual’s process.

There has also been an unexpected gift in getting to know someone so deeply important to me in a non-physical way. It is not the same as having him here in person—nothing replaces that—but over time it has offered a different kind of relationship to presence, memory, and connection.

This experience has become a teacher in itself. It has expanded how I understand connection beyond what is physically visible, deepened my sense of relationship to life, death, and continuity, and broadened my understanding of what it means to stay in relationship with someone beyond form.

In many ways, it has become a bridge—connecting my personal experience of loss to a wider understanding of life, nature, and what it means to be in relationship with something larger than ourselves.

Empower yourself to be your own best healer.
