My Story
My journey to becoming a holistic health practitioner is deeply rooted in family, faith, and lived experience.
Family & Natural Healing
My grandfather strongly believed in natural healing, planting the first seeds of understanding that the body has an incredible ability to restore itself when supported properly. Those beliefs later became the foundation of my life’s work.
2004 — Three CVAs
In 2004, my life changed dramatically when I experienced three CVAs (strokes) affecting the cerebellum of my brain. This resulted in right-sided weakness, slurred speech, and a blood clot on my cerebellum.
Stepping Away From Medications
During that time, prescription medications often left me feeling unbalanced and unwell. After deep reflection, I chose to pursue a path of natural healing and holistic wellness.
Inspired by Remus Townend
Inspired by my grandfather Remus Townend, I learned to trust the healing power of nature. His wisdom about observing the earth and honoring simple healing practices shaped my perspective.
Healing Hands Holistic Health School
I enrolled at Healing Hands Holistic Health School in Escondido. Though I was nervous to share my story, I trusted the path unfolding before me and committed fully to holistic care.
Today
Today, I feel grounded and grateful. My experiences shaped the compassionate, intentional care I now offer. I honor my ancestors and the natural healing traditions that continue to guide my practice.
