My mission is to provide practical, actionable strategies that enhance physical, mental, spiritual, and behavioral health. I believe in the power of a holistic approach to well-being, and my goal is to share these insights with as many people as possible.
My journey into holistic health began with my own struggles and triumphs. In 2021, I hit rock bottom, battling severe depression while juggling the responsibilities of being an "essential worker" providing therapy for children on the autism spectrum and pursuing my Master's degree. The weight of these responsibilities, coupled with the chaos of modern life, crushed my spirit, leaving me devoid of hope.
But amidst the darkness, I found a glimmer of light—a beacon of hope that guided me back from the brink. Changing the company I kept and focusing on my physical, mental, and spiritual health became the turning points in my recovery. This personal experience profoundly shaped my approach to coaching, as I realized the immense power of holistic health practices.
I am always excited to connect with like-minded individuals and explore opportunities for collaboration.
