My Story
I’ve always been a deeply sensitive soul—perceptive in ways I didn’t quite understand as a child. The world felt overwhelming, and I carried a sense of “too muchness” that I couldn’t quite place. I now recognize this as my intuitive gift, but for much of my life, I suppressed it, unsure of how to integrate what I was feeling and sensing into the world around me.
My early years were centered around creativity. I was drawn to storytelling, performance, and artistic expression, and I pursued theater and film at USC, where I honed my craft as an actor, writer, and director. Creativity was my way of making sense of the world—it was my refuge, my connection to something greater. But even as I immersed myself in the industry, something felt missing. I sensed that art had the potential to be more than entertainment; it could be a vessel for healing, transformation, and connection.
After college, I became deeply involved in social and climate justice organizing. I poured myself into activism, working on the front lines of community efforts in Los Angeles, advocating for environmental change and social equity. The passion was real, but so was the exhaustion. I found myself navigating burnout, questioning how I could show up for the world without losing myself in the process.
Lisbon had been calling to me for years. I first visited nearly a decade ago and knew, on some unspoken level, that I’d live there one day. In 2022, I returned for a short trip—and something shifted. I realized I had become energetically disconnected from myself, from my art, and from the way I wanted to move through the world. The hyper-productivity of Western culture, the constant push to “succeed,” had drained me. I made the decision to leave Los Angeles and spend three months in Lisbon, giving myself the space to reset.
That time was life-giving. Everything flowed in a way I hadn’t experienced before—I connected with a theater company working with New York playwrights, my creative fire reignited, and I felt at home in a way I hadn’t in years. But then, life threw me into the depths of an unexpected initiation.
A seemingly minor foot injury evolved into a full-blown nervous system disorder (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), leaving me in near-constant pain. Movement became a struggle, and suddenly, my plans, my vision, my sense of self—everything came to a halt. For the first time, I had no choice but to pause. To sit in the stillness. To surrender.
This forced stillness became the opening to my true spiritual awakening. As I moved through the depths of uncertainty and physical discomfort, my intuitive gifts flooded in. The abilities I had suppressed for so long—clairsentience, deep energetic perception, an innate ability to clear and recalibrate energy—became undeniable. My work with healers, which had started as personal exploration, now took on new meaning. I realized I could see, sense, and shift energy in a way that was both natural and deeply transformative.
Returning to Lisbon, I was still navigating the layers of my own healing, but I knew I was stepping into a new version of myself. I embarked on an intensive mentorship, a deep process of clearing my soul’s blueprint—releasing endless trauma, imprints, distortions, and outdated programming that no longer served me. It was raw. It was intense. It was the most challenging and beautiful year of my life. And as I moved through this transformation, I realized I wasn’t just healing myself—I was learning how to guide others through the same process.
Now, my work is a fusion of all that I’ve lived and learned. I offer energetic healings, Akashic Records readings, and creative mentorships, helping people shed what no longer serves them and align with their truest selves. But what excites me most is working with artists. I’ve come to understand that creativity, when channeled from our clear channel of love and abundance is one of the most powerful healing tools we have. I help artists move past creative and energetic blocks, ensuring that the work they put into the world is an extension of their highest vibration. When we create from the heart—free from fear, distortion, or imposed limitations—we birth something that has the power to heal not just ourselves, but others.
This journey has been anything but linear, but every twist, every challenge, every moment of uncertainty has led me here. And I know, beyond a doubt, that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
