After 11 years in the military, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice, and getting certified in Law Enforcement & Corrections through the Wisconsin Police Academy, I was left with bodily injuries and spiritual drought.
I traveled across multiple countries in search of the meaning and purpose I had been longing for. It had always been natural for me to hold a counsel space for others to release, share, and vent. With this in mind, I pursued and completed a PhD program with an emphasis in Spiritual Counseling & Life Coaching from The Institute of Metaphysical Humanistic Science. Still I was on my own spiritual journey and was amazed by my progress, both physically and mentally, in my yoga practice. I noticed my mind felt more clear , my body was becoming limber, I was managing the pain associated with my injuries for the first time in years, and I was feeling more connected to Spirit . This ignited a fire to learn as much about yoga as possible. I packed up my life and went to India to pursue yoga with no return date.
I received my yoga teacher certification and continued to travel, practice counseling, and teach yoga. I proceeded to expand my knowledge in different healing modalities including Reiki and other energy work practices, stone therapy, fire cupping, meditation, traditional hand poke tattooing, and Massage Therapy at East West Healing Arts Institute.
I moved to the Ashland area in 2019 with my partner and our daughter ready to plant roots, live our dreams, speak our truth, and be a part of the community. From my personal experience in healing, it has been meaningful to share this knowledge and wisdom with others, both individually and communally. I bring these practices to the city of Ashland not with the intention for a profitable business, but as a platform in which all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, age, or gender identity, can have a safe space to explore physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness.
