My story begins as a daughter, wife, and mother within a family impacted by addiction, substance abuse, and mental illness.

Growing up around destructive behavior taught me false beliefs about love and conditioned me to accept dysfunctional patterns as normal.

In adulthood, a challenging marriage became the catalyst that pushed me toward inner peace. As a stay-at-home mother, I began a daily meditation practice that eventually led me into formal studies of Holistic Health, Yoga, and Shamanic Healing.

That was the beginning of truly owning my life.

I learned to pray and ask for guidance through traditional Huichol and Quero Apache ceremonies and retreats. Nature became my teacher. Its elements, visions, and dreams formed a relationship with myself that showed me how to follow a sacred and reverent path.

I prayed for healing.
I prayed for balance.
I prayed for my children and their children.
I prayed for generational cycles to end.

The stories in my bloodline called me deeper, until I accepted the truth that changed everything.

I was going to be my own rescue.

And my mission to be a teacher, healer, and artist began.
