From Rock Bottom to Rooted — This Is My Story

F-CA-0973.jpg

Reconnect. Reclaim. Rise.

I’m here to help you come home to yourself — and rise.

Years before I became a wellness coach and retreat leader, I was living what looked like a dream life. But underneath the surface, I was lost — chasing validation, pushing myself to the edge, and trying to survive a life that didn’t reflect who I truly was.

My turning point came in the quiet aftermath of a breakdown — the kind that brings you to your knees and back to your truth.

What saved me wasn’t a dramatic overnight fix. It was a simple, sacred return to myself… one breath, one ritual, one moment of self-love at a time.

Today, I guide others on that same journey of remembering. Through one-on-one coaching, daily rituals, nature connection, and retreats that nourish the soul, I help people slow down, listen inward, and rise into the life they’re meant to live — calm, clear, and rooted in who they truly are.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence.
And it begins with a single step home.
