I spent nearly 20 years working in healthcare, with the last eight years of my career in the ICU. I was drawn to the fast-paced, adrenaline-filled environment—no two days were the same, and I loved the challenge. Then COVID happened, and everything changed. Those years were intense, traumatic, and often overlooked. Healthcare workers faced unimaginable stress, yet too often were met with the words, “This is what you signed up for.” For me, it was never about signing up for a pandemic.

I made it through those years with resilience and the support of my loved ones, but post-pandemic, my body and mind were asking for something different. I couldn’t keep pushing through anxiety, exhaustion, and constant stress. The final straw came when our hospital faced a serious safety threat, and I realized I needed to step away. In 2023, I finally left the ICU—a decision that felt heavy at first, but ultimately aligned me with the path I was meant to take.

That guidance led me to a new path—one shaped by signs from the universe and a desire to help others heal. I’ve since become Reiki certified, Yin Yoga certified, and trained in sound healing, learning to work with energy both through movement and hands-on practices. My focus is on creating space for people to relax, release tension, and reconnect with themselves, supporting balance, calm, and restoration in both body and mind.
