THERE IS A WAY FORWARD
Something In You is Waking Up
Maybe you’ve always been drawn to herbs but didn’t know where to start.
Maybe you’ve tried it all—meds, diets, routines—and still feel like something is missing.
Or maybe you’ve always known deep down:
✓ Real, lasting well-being is possible.
✓ You are meant to help others.
✓ You just need the right support to finally do it.
If you’re here, that knowing inside you is right on time.
This is your invitation to stop spiraling, start healing, and feel whole again—from the inside out.
I WANTED MY LIFE BACK
I GOT MORE THAN I COULD DREAM OF
I was in my 20s, exhausted, inflamed, numbing with alcohol, and going to the chiropractor three times a week.
I had chronic acne, digestive issues, terrible periods, back pain and was on meds that gave me hot flashes. The real breaking point?
I got a 3-week sinus infection on my honeymoon and realized my body was falling apart and this pain was stealing my joy.
I didn’t get better overnight. But I made a choice and said yes to herbalism, yoga, meditation, and mentorship.
I said yes to healing my childhood trauma and reclaiming my power. Each yes brought me closer to a life of joy, peace, and true purpose.
Now, I teach others to walk the same path—using a method born from both lived experience and deep study. If you’re ready to say yes to yourself, I’m here to walk with you.
What if you had a clear, guided path to healing?
Imagine waking up clear-minded, pain-free, and grounded in your truth.
Imagine knowing how to choose herbs that actually work for your body, your emotions, and your energy.
Imagine your clients, your children, or your community turning to you for support because now…
you know what you’re doing.

LET'S CHAT!A Note On My Philosophy:
If you’re looking for a quick fix, a purely physical solution (like a quick diet or detox), or you believe healing is just about biology or what you’ve inherited, this program likely isn’t for you.
But if you know that real lasting vitality starts within, and you want to understand the connection between your emotions, your story, and your well-being, then you’re in the right place.
Are you ready to step into what’s next?

My mission is to combine traditional wisdom and clinical insight, providing a world-class herbal education that empowers you to support yourself, your family, and your community.
