About Me

From burnout to better days...

I’ve always been a nature fanatic, spiritual seeker and endlessly fascinated by the workings of the human body. But it took me a couple decades to realize the deep connection and healing power between all of these things.

Coming into adult-hood, I did all the things I thought I “should” do - get a business degree, find a high paying job and move to a big city. For ten years, I worked in a high stress corporate sales job, striving to find meaning in the grind. As time went on, I could feel my physical and mental health start to suffer.

I didn’t know how to feel better. I followed all the latest trends that were supposed to keep me healthy. Things like intermittent fasting, working out everyday at 5am and entrusting my health to a general practitioner who I saw once a year. Yet I was developing insomnia, anxiety and thyroid issues.

I dedicated myself to finding a better way...

I became convicted to change the course of my health, get off the path to burnout, and find what truly gave me joy.

So in 2021, I quit my job and moved to a small surf town in Oaxaca, Mexico.

I started working with natural practitioners that opened my eyes to the effectiveness of holistic natural medicine. I realized that today’s modern medicine was keeping me sick, and I needed to connect with what would lead to long lasting health. With the help of modalities like herbalism, homeopathy and meditation, I began to feel real vitality again.

I learned the importance of returning my body to a balanced state by finding root causes. And I experienced that root causes aren’t just physical- they’re energetic, emotional and spiritual.

Experiencing the power of these modalities sparked my passion for learning all I could about them. Ultimately, this led me back to California, and my official herbalism studies at Artemisia Academy.

Now, I’m honored to create a space for the healing of others. I believe the journey to wellness is a journey of self-discovery and the outcome is life-long freedom.

Ultimately, committing to this journey of wellness gives you the energy and clarity to live out your passions and have the impact you want to have in the world.
