I know what it means to lose yourself — and find your way back.

What Brought Me Here

For many years, I lived in a highly analytical world as a chemical engineer. From the outside, my life looked successful and well-constructed. But beneath that outward competence, something in me felt disconnected. The life I had built no longer fit in the way it once had, even if I could not yet fully explain why.

That unraveling deepened when I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, a rare condition that brought me to a threshold I could no longer ignore. As I searched for healing, I began listening inward in a new way. Breath, meditation, and inner stillness opened a door I could not close. Over time, that path changed my life — and I no longer struggle with IIH.

In many ways, this path was also a return. I come from a lineage of healers and mystics, and as a child I experienced intuitive knowing and spiritual sensitivity that I later learned to set aside. Healing brought me back to what had always been there: Spirit, inner knowing, and a deeper truth within myself.

Today, I guide others in Houston and beyond through spiritual coaching, mental fitness coaching, and energy healing — helping them move beyond the patterns, wounds, and conditioning that stand in the way of living a life that feels more alive, connected, and true.

The teachers, paths, and guiding forces that have shaped this work

What I offer today has been shaped by more than training alone. It has grown through lived experience, devoted practice, beloved teachers, and the spiritual guidance I have come to know in the unseen. At the heart of it is a deep commitment to my own healing, because I believe we can only guide others as deeply as we have been willing to meet ourselves.

The teachers and mentors who have shaped this path

Ann Adam

My shamanic teacher, whose decades of devotion to sacred shamanic practice have deeply shaped both my healing and the way I hold this work. Through her guidance, I have been able to go much deeper within myself, come into greater balance, and open to a more direct, heart-led connection with Great Spirit.

Kimberly Light

A beloved teacher and mentor whose guidance was pivotal in helping me explore the spiritual dimensions of awakening and deepen my connection with the spirit world. As a gifted healer and seer, she challenged me, believed in me, and helped me trust what I was coming to know beyond the visible world.

Erica VanEaton

A cherished mentor whose guidance helped me connect more deeply with my inner voice and recognize sound as one of the main pathways of my healing and soul expression. Her playful, expansive approach to healing — and the way she sees and calls forth my potential — continues to shape both my work and my path.

Judy Sullivan-Jellison

A gifted healer, teacher, and one of the gentlest souls I have ever known. She was the first healer I sought out on my journey, meeting me with deep love, compassion, and encouragement from the very beginning. Her belief in me — along with the shifts I experienced after our first session — helped me recognize that I was on the right path.

Tara Skubella

A gentle and gifted teacher through whom I continue to deepen in Tantra, breathwork, and sacred relationship with the Earth. Her guidance has helped me open my energy in a new way and reclaim the sensual aliveness within me as a source of healing, freedom, and empowerment.

Spiritual guidance and the unseen

I also honor the spiritual guidance that has shaped this path in ways words cannot fully capture. My work has been supported not only by human teachers, but by a deep relationship with Spirit and the helping forces I have come to know in the unseen.
