About Me

A sacred calling came to me when I woke up to pain in my body. My body had reached its maximum capacity after going through childhood trauma, leaving home at 15, entering foster care, and being relocated. Having aged out of that system, being thrown into another ocean, and having to overcome barriers, I had overextended myself. My health problems were the last straw, indicating that my body had had enough of the perpetual survival mechanisms and never-ending "enough-ness" that created my life. Here, amid my breakdown, was where I found my breakthroughs. When I leaned into a genuine faith of surrender, my light codes surfaced as movement, sound rhythm, and spoken & written words manifested opportunities. I took a yoga class while attending Santa Monica College, which seeded a shift of awareness into my body.

 

I slowly started understanding more about my body through random synchronicities that showed up like prayers; I lost 60 pounds through yoga, breathing, nutritional changes, and herbal remedies. I started to understand that there is oneness in me and that nature and separation get us into more trouble than we should create. It permitted me to be more into my life, and others around me told me they had seen My Light. That was radical as I felt I was nothing but, but I held space for both polarities.

My study of somatic healing led me to countless workshops and yoga training that opened more doors for me. This gave me access as I have been invited to speak about my experiences, lead both adults and advocate for the social injustices and rights of youth in foster care with many organizations listed to the side. I have held space with spiritual healers, have been certified in practices, and read countless books aided by holding space for others, but nothing has been more teaching, telling, and transformative than my life experiences. The journey here has led me through the deepest depths of nights to unlearn and rewire-reframe old paradigms that have given me the total desire to ignite this craving for space for others to tune in to. I especially hold this space so true to BIPOC, as we deserve to be seen and heard and have more spaces to heal.

 My Experience with Organizations

I have held space for youth in the foster care system by co-creating workshops and worked/volunteered with various different leading programs in advocating for community-building, employment, homelessness, and mental health needs and rights of youth. I have volunteered, spoken on panels, and worked in, and been a part of these exceptional organizations that have given me medicine throughout my journey. I am on the board of directors for Stepping Forward LA, which provides resources for mentorship and job readiness for youth. I will be soon creating a Somatic-Arts Initiative for a Prevention Program.

My Philosophy                                

I live fully in my body as one.​

I am safe in my body.

I am a blessing to this earth as my body.

I deserve joy, laughter, happiness, healthy boundaries, nourishing vibrational food, sounds, and grace, just as much as I can feel the transformation of my pain, grief, sorrow, heartache, anxiety, anger, and all the things in between. This is because that was the way it was intended. We cannot break free of our chains until we look at the fears we keep hidden in light and shed a spotlight on their shame, blame, aggression, or oppression. We must integrate the fragments of our stories into their archetypes. We shall rewrite the story, honor our sacred cells of the missing pieces to our DNA, and replenish those ancient ways with our self-love rituals. We carry polarity to understand the neutrality of being-simply. This is all-encompassing; this is the Ancestral healing, the call for safety, the desire to bring back the vital life force into the fragmented spaces we've forgotten. We are no small creation, there have been too many doors slammed before us to think at this time that we can play our roles as anything less or that our bodies responses are notthing to listen too. We are the game changers, the Lightworkers, the empaths, the prayers, the sensualists, the caretakers, and lovers of our souls. When you fill your cup, you leave the earth with a different vibration than what you left. When you shift the weight and let loose the energetic body, freedom of space shows up; then, you start to flow differently. People see you differently because of how they feel about you differently. Its funny how things shift when you show up for your whole entire being, I know it so because I have been through it so.

 

Enjoy the manifestations of your cravings to choose you...

                    May you find your way...
