I'm so glad you're here!

 

My journey is deeply rooted in finding my connection to my body. I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2000, shortly after I turned 14 years old. Since my diagnosis, my healing journey has not been linear, but layered and complex. Years later, during a particularly stressful period, I was diagnosed with PCOS, Hyperthyroidism, and anxiety. Each of these illnesses changed how I felt in my body.

 

As I went through my healing journey, the changes in my body from illness and medication often left me feeling disconnected and frustrated. There was little I learned throughout my journey on how to find peace in my body, find calm when it felt out of control, and navigate life with a chronic illness from a place of empowerment. I felt like a stranger in my own body; it didn't feel like home. 

​

So many moments in my life, I felt like I had to push through and appear to be okay, especially with invisible illnesses. I became so disconnected from myself and my body that in many moments of my life, I felt lost and exhausted, battling things that many individuals will never understand. 

​

Reiki found me during one of those moments of deep searching, when my body was asking me to listen differently. Through Reiki, energy work, and Ancestral healing practices, I began to experience a new kind of connection. I have learned how to honor my body as a living expression of my story, not something broken or in need of control.

​

As I've deepened this work, I've become passionate about creating spaces where Women of Color living with chronic illness can reconnect to their bodies, where healing interwined with Ancestral knowledge and wisdom helps us come home to ourselves.​​
