My inner work journey began in 2019 when I felt a strong pull toward the Law of Attraction and manifestation. This led me to meditation, where I experienced a spiritual awakening that shifted how I saw the world and myself. For the first time, I felt a deeper spiritual connection and became more attuned to who I truly was and what I needed.
As I connected more deeply with myself, I began to recognize the unhealthy dynamics in my relationship with the father of my children. After years of trying to make it work, I came to the difficult realization that separation was necessary. It was not an easy decision, and it brought up a lot of grief—grief for the relationship, for the life I thought I’d have, and for the loss of my mother, which I hadn’t fully processed.
In the midst of grief and transformation, I turned to plant medicines to guide me through my healing process. This wasn’t an easy path—it required me to show up for myself in ways I hadn’t before, challenging me to confront my shadows and release old patterns that no longer served me. Through this process, I found a calling to hold space for others. I began volunteering in ceremonies and, over the years, have been honored to hold space for many others in various plant medicine ceremonies, including Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, Cacao, Bufo and Kambo. Each experience has deepened my understanding of the healing power of these medicines and strengthened my commitment to serving others on their journeys.
During this time, I also experienced the loss of my father, which further deepened my connection to both the plants and the work of healing. My journey eventually led me to the jungles of Peru, where I had the privilege of working with Shipibo Maestra Olinda Cauper. I completed a master plant dieta that profoundly impacted my life, teaching me the importance of surrender, trust, and the unwavering support that the plants offer in our healing.
My qualifications come not just from formal education or training, but from my lived experiences. Walking through an abusive relationship, childhood trauma, and profound grief has shaped my understanding of healing. These challenges have increased my empathy and deepened my desire to walk alongside others in their own journeys of growth. I have continued to invest in my personal development through various trainings, retreats, and courses, particularly in Ancestral Medicine, Herbalism, and intergenerational healing.
These experiences have reinforced my commitment to holding space for others. I’ve learned that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and that each person’s journey is unique. I believe that while healing is deeply personal, we are not meant to walk this path alone. Through connection, vulnerability, and community, we can support one another as we navigate the ups and downs of our own healing journeys.
