About me
I’m a registered nurse who worked under the pressures of the top stressful hospital environments from neonatal to adult intensive critical care.
I empathize strongly with the burnout, exhaustion, and struggle that many women experience in pursuit of a balanced work-life schedule.
I discovered my passion for this service after healing from my own rock bottom experience with depression & anxiety. Now, my calling is to create a space for others to feel supported in their healing journey so they can develop resilience and become empowered to live a life of wellness.
My healing journey
I am a Filipino, American-born, single mom. I grew up with the cultural stigma that mental health was shameful and it placed a blanket of guilt around me throughout my life.
I had a successful job making more than 6-figures per year. Everything looked ideal on the outside, but internally I was empty.
I was a functioning depressed individual.
Unknowingly, I tried to fill this void with relationships and unhealthy substances, but it eventually led to my rock bottom.
“just get over it"
Hitting my rock bottom
My rock bottom was a melting pot of narcissistic relationships, physical assault, postpartum depression and intrusive thoughts leading to suicidal ideation. As an empath, I couldn't discern my emotions from others and I felt that the only way out of this hole was death.
The cultural stigma that I grew up with made me afraid to reach out… and when I did I was told "it was just in my head" and to "just get over it".
I felt broken and alone. I was desperate to find help.
Even after trials of therapy and unsuccessful medication adjustments, I knew that this treatment wasn't the answer...
I felt like I needed something MORE to help me get out of the darkness.
I was finally introduced to Reiki and it was the first time in my life I felt an inner calmness and peace. My curiosity opened my life to a new world of healing from the inside out. Together, with a combination of alternative and western modalities, I found a way to heal.
Healing from the inside
After much inner work, I now stand proud as a Filipino single mom. I discovered a life beyond the darkness full of potential and gratitude for the lessons I endured.
By healing my own wounds, I discovered my ability to provide support to others on their journey and assist in transforming their life with wellness.
In addition to being a Registered Nurse, I’m now a Reiki Master and Energetic Health Practitioner who has fully embraced the power of Spirit!
