My journey began in the medical world, where I worked as a nurse’s assistant and hospital secretary while attending nursing school. I had a deep passion to help others, but in the process, my own health began to decline. I realized that sacrificing my well-being for a career wasn’t staying true to myself—and if living unauthentically meant sacrificing my own life and vitality, then I didn’t want it.

During Hurricane Harvey in Houston, I was trapped working long shifts at the hospital under tense and uncomfortable conditions. Amid the chaos, I found small moments to breathe, release tension, and reconnect with my body through intentional stillness and movement. As I practiced, coworkers began to notice, and one by one, they joined me. What started as my personal sanctuary grew into daily wellness sessions, and eventually, I was offered a position to teach wellness classes to the entire hospital staff.

It was in this role that I realized my calling was not in the conventional medical path, but in guiding others toward holistic health, self-care, and embodiment.
