more about me

My journey of ‘awakening’ began in 2010 when my dad came back into my life. Believe it or not, the catalyst for all of my eyes (physical eyes and inner eye) to be opened were “conspiracy theories.” My dad and I were getting to know each other again and he asked me questions around my views on politics, religion and just on life overall. I was dumbfounded as I never really entertained these topics in depth, or never really challenged my thinking in these areas.

My dad offered the space and opportunity to explore… why do I think this? Where did I learn this from? What makes this source valid? What is behind the curtain? Does this feel true for ME? This began my journey into the rabbit holes of the world wide web! I was absolutely hooked, inspired and HUNGRY for knowledge. My mind was being blown wide open. Amidst my exploration on YouTube, videos speaking about spirituality and energy started to come into my orbit. I thought to myself… what the heck is a third eye!? What is awareness? How is this a vibrational universe? What does that even mean?

And so began my early stages of yoga. I signed up for some classes at my gym (mostly restorative classes) and learned how to breath properly. I learned that I can actually control and shape my breath. I learned how to be in the witness and observe. I even shed tears on my mat for the first time and I had no idea why (if you know, you know).
‍
The journey of awakening to my inner most self and awakening to my own ability to question left me feeling ANGRY. I thought “why is this not taught in schools? Why am I JUST learning about awareness and self care NOW!?”
‍
In hindsight, it was all in perfect timing. But I had to go through the process. My timing was perfect, just like yours is. This was the fuel I needed to continue my journey of deep self exploration and being the example I wish to see in this world.

I dove into the world of plant medicine (ayahuasca) for several years, all held by shamans in sacred intentional containers. Plant medicine showed me what is possible. It opened up pathways in my brain to understand and know that everything is actually energy. Ayahuasca showed me all the ways I was disapproving of myself… she took my hands and placed them on my heart to show me what It feels like to love myself… oh how the tears flowed. What a gift.

Yoga also called to me. Since I grew up as a dancer, I appreciated the physical part of yoga… only to discover later on in my years of study that the physical part (asana) is actually one small piece of the whole system. I began teaching yoga in 2015 and continued my studies to become a better student, and as a result a better teacher.

Amdist yoga and plant medicine, I was also curious about quantum physics. I began my deep dive with Dr. Joe Dispenza in 2017 at a couple of his weeklong advanced workshops - these experiences anchored in the knowing that we are co-creators of our reality… our thoughts and beliefs literally co-create our life. We are that powerful. What I love about Dr. Joe is that he beautifully bridges the gap between science and spirituality. As a highly logical person, his way of teaching was what I needed to anchor in this remembering that we are vibrational beings, living in a vibrational universe… that we are both matter and information, that we are both human and spirit.
‍
Now let’s add in another layer here. My hunger for knowledge and growth was my vision and I created my life around this vision. I was accepted into a private psychotherapy school and completed my first year of study. I also saw a psychotherapist for a year every week as part of my schooling - this was huge for me. I learnt so much about my shadow self and it was so valuable to have someone who spoke my language truly listen and see me… she lovingly mirrored back to me what I could not see. I didn’t continue my studies in psychotherapy as I had a STRONG feeling that this wasn’t my path. I received what I needed to receive, and I was being pulled back into the world of quantum energetics.

So here I was, teaching and studying yoga, studying psychotherapy and quantum energetics, exploring the world of plant medicines… and now to add another layer, I dove into the world of feminine embodiment. This realm felt the scariest as I knew deep down there was a lot of medicine for me here. I wanted to feel fully embodied in my sexuality, in my radiance and in my own pleasure. But how? I began listening to podcasts around conscious sexuality, desire and embodiment. Just like with anything else that peaks my interest, I was hungry for knowledge. I eventually landed on Kim Anami’s work and participated in her salon called “The Well F*cked Woman” - I highly recommend this salon if you are looking to reclaim your own sexuality and pleasure. Embarking on these practices, and diving deep into the areas that hold a lot of shame and guilt, freed up so much energy to channel towards whatever I wanted to create in my life. It also brought so much LIFE to my marriage and to life as a whole. This exploration is an on-going journey for me. SO much to explore!

There are so many more things/modalities/concepts (including HEALY) I dove into that has helped me remember my own soul blueprint. My point in sharing all of this is:
1: for you to get to know me a little more, my background and my interests, and
2: to offer the perspective that there isn’t only ONE way to do something.
‍
All of these tools, modalities and schools of thought are pathways to help us remember who we are. Because of the densification process of coming into our physical bodies, we can forget… and on top of that, we are so bombarded with conditioning through our families, society, propaganda, school, culture and so fourth.

I have used and explored many tools & resources on my journey to self-discovery, including Yoga, meditation, plant medicines, breathwork, psychotherapy, dance, Human Design, astrology, Tantra and various quantum and frequency healing modalities.
‍
This is what I have learned so far: there isn’t ONE way to heal, there isn’t ONE modality, path, or school of thought that is the RIGHT way… all paths, tools and traditions have value… it is just a matter of what aligns and speaks to YOUR soul! Follow your soul’s curiosity and what lights YOU up inside!
‍
The more we remember our True Essence, our unique soul blueprint, the more we live from an authentic place. When we are living and breathing in alignment to our true selves, this gives others permission to do the same, this activates all those around you… just by being YOU. This alignment ripples out into the collective, into the energetic fabric of consciousness.
‍
As within, so without. Our inner realities reflect our outer realities.
‍
This is why I am so interested and passionate about growth. How do we shift the world? One person at a time, and it begins with YOU.
It’s time to remember who we are.
‍
Your soul came here with a unique mission, and it is up to you to remember that and live that out.
‍
You living in your True Essence is the biggest contribution you can make to the collective.
Your soul calibrated personality, your voice, your energetic signature is NEEDED.

What the world needs most right now is for us to truly come ALIVE.
‍
Remember this: No one is YOU, and that is your SUPERPOWER.
‍
I am so grateful you’re here.
‍
May we continue to remember our magic, to live our fullest expression and to enjoy this life!
‍
I see you. I love you. I love me.

In Love,
