I’m a Virgo Sun, Capricorn Rising, and Pisces Moon, so I'm a deeply grounded Earthy being with huge feels and dreams. My Virgo energy helps me pinpoint systems that aren't working, and my Pisces moon helps me do that with compassion and care. Hello, to the healing journey that led me to become a queer energy worker. My Mercury and Venus are ruled in Virgo which gives me the ability to use my words poetically to create genuine connections, cultivate community, and write passionate articles.

My healing journey began during a season of deep transition — the end of a long-term relationship and the start of my daughter’s high school years. Those four years cracked me open. They unearthed childhood trauma I had carried for far too long and left my nervous system frayed, my body unfamiliar. That unraveling became my initiation into healing.

Through that process, I began remembering who I truly am — a first-generation daughter of immigrants, a lineage of resilience and medicine. My Buddhist practice, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, helped me reconnect with my inner wisdom and courage. I sought support through talk therapy and hypnotherapy, healing layer by layer until I realized there was still something deeper calling me — the ancestral and somatic roots of my pain.

For years, I did what I was taught would lead to success: I followed the path of stability, achievement, and belonging in Corporate America. But the longer I stayed, the more I felt myself disappearing. Burnout became a familiar companion until, after one final breaking point, I chose myself. I left corporate life and never looked back.

What followed was a journey of decolonizing, remembering, and reclaiming. I began studying yoga and earned my 200-hour certification in 2018 — a practice that reintroduced me to my breath, body, and spirit. The breath became my greatest teacher, leading me to energy medicine, bodywork, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and herbalism.

Today, as a Licensed Massage Therapist (pending MBlex 10/24), energy medicine and yoga practitioner, I weave together ancient wisdom and modern somatic practices to support the body’s natural capacity to heal. My work — whether through Sacred Sessions, Therapeutic Massage, or my Apothecary — is rooted in the belief that healing is a reclamation. It’s the art of remembering our wholeness, honoring our lineage, and returning home to ourselves.

When I’m not holding space for others, you’ll find me in my own practice — learning, crafting herbal blends for my apothecary, reading, and spending time in nature with my daughter. I also, occasionally write seasonal wellness articles. My path continues to evolve, but the intention remains the same: to help others reconnect to their body, their breath, and the wisdom that’s always been theirs.
