When it all went down, I was a recent mother of two boys with my youngest at age 4 months old and my oldest was 3. At the time I felt that life was good. I was young, in love, and feeling very accomplished. Then I found that my then-partner and a best friend had an affair. I felt devastated and wondered if love and relationships was worth my time. I wondered if I could trust others. There were times I even wondered if I could trust myself. I avoided love, put walls up, and would claim not needing or wanting relationships. In a world with so many options in love, I saw none.

Then one day I noticed my feelings of loneliness and disconnect with potential mates and possible friendships. I got real with myself and discovered how much I was getting in the way by living life based on my past circumstance and of the heartbreaking stories of relationships I’d hear from others. I wondered how living that way instead of from a place of what’s possible would impact my kids. This choice in living is one that can be passed down and affect the very people we’d want to protect from experiencing what we have.

For them and for my happiness, I committed to my own personal growth. I completed several certifications and programs, served organizations such as the Center for Social Change, and supported several in their transformational journey. In 2017, I created a meet-up group called Healing Hearts in Miami and hosted monthly Conversations and Meditation for a year and a half. I share my journey of resilience and love on stages and other platforms to hundreds of people.

Every aspect of my work from speaking, coaching, and facilitating workshops has been formed with the core value of connection to self, to others, and to our Higher source. I’m also a mom to two growing boys, and live happily in Broward County, Florida with my partner and children. I love nature, music, dance, and inspiring people to see purpose in their struggles.
