How My Journey Began..
My journey began in Oakland California. A young lady in my early 20’s who experienced multiple incidents of trauma and domestic violence. These occurrences were horrifying and life threatening and took a negative toll on my life and pushed me into depression for many years. I used alcohol and other substances to mask my pain and trauma instead of taking the time and putting in the work to properly heal from them.
In 2016 I had enough! I enrolled in National Holistic Institute in Emeryville California and started my healing journey. I instantly fell in love with the results. There i learned about the many modalities and ways wellness helps release and heal from trauma. I graduated from NHI in 2017 and made it my mission to help other people who have been through trauma and domestic violence as well. Shortly after graduating I studied Reiki at the Sacred Valley Wellness Retreat in Mt Shasta California. This is where I tuned into a deeper healing effects of energy work. I also completed my 500 hour yoga training and have been a yogi for over 10 years. I incorporated meditation and sound bowl healing into my wellness practices in 2018 and have felt the powerful grounding and healing effects.
I am very excited to share what I have learned with the community i grew up in, throughout the years of my own healing journey! I once felt defeated by Oakland from all the trauma i received here but I now feel overjoyed to change the narrative, stigma and generational trauma. Instead we will continue to produce healthy, balanced, positive, high vibrational people who will go on to do amazing things in the world. As We know Oakland is more than capable of!
