Mainstream society has never felt aligned for me. I always struggled with going to a 9-5 job, doing what you’re supposed to, and that being enough. I knew I was meant for more, that life has meaning and magic beyond sitting at a desk and waiting for some day when I could retire. 

For me, it took hitting bottom hard and almost dying from alcohol abuse to get the message: You are here for a higher purpose, and it’s not to WORK and BUY THINGS.

In order to rise into my calling, I had to face myself. I had to heal the trauma I had over losing my father in prison to alcohol and violence. I had to uncover the rage I kept inside myself, and see how I punished myself with food and sex and drugs so that I didn’t have to feel the hurt I had been carrying since childhood. 

Disillusioned with the medical model and modern Western life, I traveled across the globe searching for healing, connection, and purpose. 

The stars aligned and led me to work with sacred plant medicines, and find my purpose and power in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. I not only found myself, I found a gift to hold space for others on this path.
