“I was inspired to get into holistic wellness from a deep-rooted passion that started in childhood—being drawn to herbs, natural healing, and the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Growing up between New Jersey, Denver, and later living in New York City, I saw firsthand the impact of stress, lifestyle, and environment on overall health. That awareness, combined with a desire to help others feel balanced, aligned, and well at a high level, led me to pursue holistic health and ultimately guide others on their wellness journeys.”
