From a young age I was fascinated by energy. I was deeply emotionally intelligent — an empath feeling and sensing everything around me, but with no map for how to protect or direct my own.

That curiosity shifted in my teenage years into something heavier. Cultural, external, and internal shaming around women's bodies triggered years of controlling my nutrition and exercise, developing body dysmorphia, and chasing a feeling I couldn't name. I was searching for something that would finally make me feel at home — like I belonged inside myself. Nothing gave me that until I found yoga. Not just the poses, but the philosophy. The understanding that the physical practice is just one of eight limbs — the rest are about how you live, how you love, what you believe, and who you are becoming in this one precious life. Yoga didn't just make me spiritual. It changed my entire relationship to being alive.

From there, something cracked open. I became a Reiki Master and began working with energy in ways I had always felt but couldn't yet name. I dove into manifestation, meditation, journaling, astrology, Human Design, and ancestral healing — each one revealing another layer of what it means to be a whole human being. Simultaneously I was completing my Master's in Nutrition Science, studying human physiology, medicinal plants, and the science of how the body heals. I did a month-long elemental herbalism immersion in Costa Rica, where I learned about the constitutions of the human body,

I connected with Ayurveda, explored Traditional Chinese Medicine, worked with a naturopathic doctor learning muscle testing, and began connecting the dots between the chakra system, the astrological seasons, and human physiology.
