My Story: From Rock Bottom to Vibrant Triumph

There was a time when I thought I had nothing left.

I fled to America carrying only my daughter, my tears, and a fragile hope for freedom, leaving behind an abusive relationship that had stolen my joy and broken my spirit. My first year was filled with silence and daily tears. My 8-year-old daughter, wise beyond her years, would hug me tight and whisper, “Mommy, it will be okay.”

Her words became my lifeline.

In the quiet, I began piecing myself back together. But just as I was finding my footing, my body betrayed me. Perimenopause hit with a force I never expected—aching pain, exhaustion, and disconnection. I was bedridden, feeling like a shadow of the woman I used to be. When my doctor suggested antidepressants, I knew I didn’t need a bandaid. I needed a revolution.

So, I started small: a single step, a healthier meal, a few moments of rest. Slowly, light returned—not just to my body, but to my spirit. I began to rebuild from the inside out, one day at a time.

Then, life threw me its hardest challenge: a breast cancer diagnosis.

I could have given up. But I didn’t. I made a vow—to myself, to my daughter, and to every woman who would hear my story—that I wouldn’t just survive. I would thrive.

Through faith, movement, and an unyielding commitment to vibrant living, I rose stronger than ever. Today, I stand here as living proof that no matter how dark it feels, you can rise. You can rewrite your story. You can reclaim your life.

My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention.

We will talk about the things beyond food; seeking to bring balance to important elements of your life such as love, relationships, as well as career and money. I will personally and carefully guide you to make simple, small changes that transform your life.
