Let's be real.
You’re here because you know you’re meant for more & you’ve been secretly wondering if this is really what life is supposed to feel like — lackluster, unfulfilling & repetitive. Or maybe, you love your life! But, you know something’s missing. You have a craving for something you can’t name.
I know that feeling deeply.
My journey began unknowingly at 13, when I decided I wanted to become a physical therapist. Fascinated with all things biology, anatomy & physiology, I knew I wanted to do something that helped others heal their bodies. So, after graduating high school, I studied Exercise Physiology at Northern Arizona University & minored in Psychology too — because the mind intrigued me as well.
Then life happened fast. Fall semester begins, a global pandemic hits in the spring, & suddenly it’s senior year. The thought of spending another three years in school for physical therapy felt more unaligned as the days passed. Then, the day before graduation, the sudden loss my childhood pet shook me to my core. What should have been a season of celebration became one of grief & uncertainty.
That summer, while grieving & questioning my future, I discovered cycle syncing. For the first time, I saw health through a holistic lens. As I practiced, I felt the results & wondered: what if I could teach others this? What if I could help others heal in this way? What if I could teach women to live in tune with their bodies, to nourish their whole selves?
This curiosity led me to health coaching. I researched programs, but was unsure of where I’d get the funds to afford said certification. Hopeful still, I found the Institute of Transformational Nutrition (ITN), which offers the CARE Scholarship — created to amplify the voices of Black, Indigenous & People of Color in the health & wellness field, as well as the structural inequalities that BIPOC face. As a scholarship recipient, I began my certification journey.
But as I often say — bills wait for no one. Committing to this new path wasn’t that easy. I spent a year & a half working unaligned jobs in fast-paced, chaotic environments. Though I was grateful to have a roof over my head & food in my fridge, my nervous system was fried, energy drained & I was truly unhappy. That experience taught me that no amount of “hustle” & “grind” was worth sacrificing my peace, wellbeing & most of all, joy.
It wasn’t until recently that I realized: I’ve always had the right idea of my purpose. My degree gave me the foundation in the body. Psychology gave me insight into the mind. My own spiritual transformation — through grief, uncertainty & burnout — taught me about the soul.
My purpose has always been within me — waiting to be nourished.
