My own healing journey begin in 2010, after suffering extreme insomnia, mind-racing and anxiety, found myself hospitalized. Several years of seeing countless doctors yielded little information, lots of general labels, and a cabinet full of toxic, mind-numbing pharmaceuticals that got me through a crisis point, but I was yearning to know more and truly heal. That’s when I made a commitment to advocate for myself and seek out alternatives. More recently, I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s. The experience has been my greatest soul lesson on gratitude, living mindfully, and the ultimate, unconditional love. Though everyone’s path is unique; mine included the help of naturopaths, guides, herbal remedies, an unwavering devotion to educating myself, my reiki practice, and meditation. This personal experience fueled my passion to support others through life’s difficult times.
