My Story
This part of my journey has been years in the making, and honestly, I would say that I was born to do this… even though I didn’t consciously recognize it at the time. Growing up, I always had the desire to uplift others and help them feel good in their own skin. I used to do spa treatments for my family members when I was just a kid, and as I grew older I had the desire to understand and connect with people on a deeper level. However, during this time I also started to feel disconnected from the life I thought I was “supposed” to live, and I struggled for many years to discover what felt right to me. What was MY truth? Who was I? What did I really believe? What was my true purpose here? Even though I could feel something was off, I was afraid to dig deeper in order to confront the fears inside me and answer these questions. I was stagnated by the fear of not only what others would think, but also, what if I was wrong?
I kept trying to go down paths and fit myself into boxes that weren't aligned with my true nature. I played the part well, and at times even convinced myself that everything was okay. I listened to the guidance of those around me while ignoring the guidance that was trying to speak to me from within. I might have looked happy on the outside, but on the inside, I was conflicted between what I was told was right and what I felt was right for me. After manifesting emotional and physical ailments during that time, my body, heart, and soul became so uncomfortable that I had no choice but to be honest with myself, work up the courage to face those fears, and live my truth; finally allowing myself to break free from the limiting belief systems that were handed down to me on all levels.
I had a great life in the grand scheme of things, my mother loved me immensely (I used to say, too much, but now I know that's where my big heart came from) but like many, it was far from what you would consider “perfect.” I experienced my own traumas and mental health struggles, and I would find ways to numb and distract myself from dealing with what I was feeling. For a long time, I identified with the stories that I was broken, I came from a broken home, I had too many issues to deal with and maybe there was just something wrong with me because I never truly felt like I fit into this world. Thankfully, somewhere along the way, I learned to redefine my past and reframe my perspective as a whole, which empowered me to take ownership over how I relate to my life experience. Even though there were many confusing, painful, and uncomfortable moments, I am thankful for my journey because it has shaped me into who I am today (I love who I am today!) and it helped me to view our human experience through a new lens. And I now understand that I was never meant to truly fit into this world as it's been because I am here to help in the creation of a healed and heart-centered world, which will naturally guide us to a new way of being for all.
My soul awakening and desire to shift into my life purpose was catalyzed by what I called my "quarter-life crisis." I was 26, unhappy and unfulfilled in my job and my life. Deep within, I felt called to do something more meaningful, something that would help others in my own special way. I knew I enjoyed spa treatments for myself and I liked pampering and taking care of others, but it was so much more than just that. My inner voice was also calling me to provide healing through touch in the form of facials. I didn't know why I felt so strongly about this at the time, but a few years later it all started to make sense. Also, being raised by my mom in a single-parent household, I saw how hard she worked and sacrificed for my brother and me, this inspired my passion for promoting self-care and was my way of giving back to the hard-working women who sacrifice so much for their families. This isn’t to say that men don’t also sacrifice for their families and need self-care… because they definitely do! You know what they say about filling your cup first. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and if you're feeling depleted you will not be able to show up as your best self in other important areas of your life. I believe we all need to take the necessary time out to get quiet, so we can self-reflect on what’s working in our lives and what’s not in order to course correct where needed.
So that is exactly what I started doing, and as I reconnected to my authentic self I was guided to holistic healing, and it was then that my gifts started to truly open up. I was more "in tune" with myself and those around me. Working solely as a facialist at the time, I started to feel a very distinctive energy flowing to my clients as I was doing their treatments, and many commented that I was a healer and had “healing hands.” Recognizing this gift opened the door for me to discover Reiki. In 2017 I was certified and began my journey as an Energy Healing Facialist by providing intuitive Reiki treatments and my specialty, the Energy Fusion Reiki Facial, along with creating a safe space for my clients to be real, speak their truth, and get clear and connected with their true desires, ultimately assisting them with personal growth, healing, and transformation of their lives.
I have been through many ups and downs on this journey, and I have personal experience and understanding of the spiritual awakening process. I know it can get heavy, disorienting, and even feel like you're spiraling at times, but I also know there is light, clarity, and peace waiting for you on the other side. Just know you are not alone in this. While no one else can do the work for you because it requires you to lean into the discomfort, and challenge your self-limiting beliefs and everything you thought to be true, I can offer you the tools and support needed as you navigate your journey of soul-awakening. Activate personal empowerment by holding yourself accountable and taking ownership of how you want your life to look and feel, and then do the inner work necessary to get you there with guidance and understanding from a higher perspective, self-care, and self-discovery. “When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.
