Awaken Your Inner Alchemy

My Journey

My journey into holistic work is deeply personal, rooted in my experience as a Registered Nurse, my passion for holistic healing, and my commitment to empowering individuals to take control of their health.

For many years, I worked in the ICU, witnessing the pressures of an overburdened healthcare system firsthand, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was on the frontlines, caring for critically ill patients, fighting for their lives, and seeing the devastating effects of chronic disease, lifestyle choices, and preventable conditions. While I was deeply committed to my work, I began to feel an overwhelming sense of burnout. I found myself constantly responding to crises, trying to fix symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of illness. The medical system, as much as I wanted to believe in it, felt broken—focused more on managing disease than on preventing it.

As I battled my own burnout and the emotional toll of seeing so many patients who had been failed by our system, I realized something crucial: I needed to make a change—not just for my own well-being, but for my patients, too. I could no longer stand by and watch the same patterns repeat. I wanted to focus on prevention, on helping people take control of their health before illness struck.

This realization was my turning point. I made the courageous decision to leave my secure hospital job and take a leap of faith toward my passion for holistic health. I pursued further training as a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 500) and became a Functional Yoga Medicine Certified Practitioner (FYMCP), combining my nursing background with the transformative power of yoga, mindfulness, and holistic healing.

My path to wellness wasn’t easy. It took time to heal from the burnout and emotional strain of years in the ICU, but yoga and holistic practices became my sanctuary. They gave me the space to recover, reconnect, and rebuild—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. Through this journey, I discovered that true health is not about simply "fixing" symptoms; it’s about creating balance, preventing disease, and supporting the body in its natural ability to heal.

One of the most powerful lessons I learned through my FYMCP training was the importance of the gut-brain connection. Conventional medicine often emphasizes pharmaceuticals to manage symptoms, but I now know that addressing the gut microbiome is one of the most effective ways to achieve lasting wellness. I work with my clients to optimize their gut health, reduce stress, and empower them to take control of their own healing process.

Now, as a Registered Nurse, RYT 500, and FYMCP, my mission is to help others experience the same healing and empowerment I’ve found. I believe in a personalized, holistic approach to health that integrates yoga, lifestyle changes, and mindful practices—not just to treat symptoms, but to create long-term wellness. By focusing on prevention, stress management, and healing from the inside out, I work with my clients to design individualized plans that support their unique needs.

If you're feeling burnt out, struggling with chronic pain, or simply looking to make healthier choices, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about guiding you on a path to wellness, just as I did for myself. Together, we can empower your health and bring balance back into your life.
