From age 4, I felt a deep calling to help others. As an intuitive since childhood, I’ve always been drawn to healing, beginning my formal training journey in 1995, with therapeutic massage. Over the years, my path has expanded to include a diverse range of healing modalities, each allowing me to support others in their transformation.
My work has never been bound by geographical limits. I’ve lived and shared my gifts in the US, Haiti, South Korea, and now Portugal, connecting with people from all walks of life. These experiences have shaped my approach to healing, allowing me to meet each person where they are and guide them through their journey.
Before focusing on healing retreats, I spent several years in counseling and administrative roles within non-profits and treatment centers, working closely with traumatized youth. I helped guide them through emotional and behavioral healing while supporting their parents in creating healthier home environments. My experience also includes working in Corrections for several years, where I focused on training and developing best practices for both individuals and institutions to create healthier, transformative environments. This work led to positive outcomes, including reducing recidivism, and further deepened my understanding of trauma-informed care and its transformative potential.
In 2013, I expanded my practice by completing the Advanced Angel Tarot Card Reader course from HayHouse, adding Intuitive Card Reading to my toolbox. A few years later, I integrated life coaching and mentorship, allowing me to use my strong intuition to create safe, transformative spaces for others.
In December 2020, a Mayan Elder in Mexico performed a recognition ceremony, honoring me as a Healer and Reader. I later traveled to Peru, where I was initiated as a Curandera (Healer) and granted permission to serve sacred medicine. In 2022, I completed internationally accredited Shamanic Practitioner Training, further deepening my knowledge and practice.
In 2023, I pursued specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, completing a 4-week course in the Fundamentals of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and an 8-month Harm Reduction course (ICEERS Ayahuasca Safety Course). I am honored to be one of only two sites in Europe selected to supervise graduates’ practicum requirement for the SYNTHESIS INSTITUTE's Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training. Although there are many practicum sites worldwide, only two are approved in Europe, and I’m proud to hold that responsibility.
As of June 2024, I have facilitated over 170 sacred medicine ceremonies, offering a safe and nurturing space for individuals to heal, overcome their blocks, and step into their full potential. It is an honor to hold space for your healing journey, guiding you through transformation and helping you live your most authentic life.
