About My  Journey

I don’t want to bore you with too many details about myself because I’m here to help you, but I thought you may want to know a few things about me before you decide to work with me.

​I attended Kean University directly after completing high school. I originally wanted to major in both Fine Arts and Psychology, but in the end, Fine Arts won. So I graduated with a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) and went to work full-time 9 to 5, or should I say 7 to 5 job, which was not art-related. I know…what a surprise…

​

While working, I felt like I wasn’t serving my true purpose and not really helping anyone.  So, after about four years, I enrolled in college and majored in Psychology at William Paterson University.

After graduating with my BA in Psychology, life took some unexpected turns, as it does for all of us, and I could not continue to graduate school.  So back, I was again working another 9 to 5 job.  I did enjoy it at times.  I eventually began focusing on Marketing, which allowed me to use my Fine Arts, Graphic Design, and Psychology knowledge, plus my business experience, and I took a few certification courses.  But like for many, at the beginning of 2020, when remote work started, my schedule turned into a 6 to 5 job with no respect boundaries for personal time. 

Throughout 2020, I took small steps to improve my health because I battled daily anxiety and bouts of depression for many years but always used unhealthy vices to cope. Working from home made it easier to make better choices. But the job stress and family and pet health issues began to really pile up.  I knew I needed to do more for myself and that I wasn’t serving my purpose. I could not see myself working in this type of industry forever and I truly want to help others to improve their health and feel better too.  So, I started looking into my options, and I happened upon a coaching certification program and watched a few webinars. 

I won’t lie; I dragged my feet a lot out of fear, but by May 2021, I decided it was time for a change! So, I made a fantastic investment in myself and enrolled in a Health Coach Certification Program with the Health Coach Institute.  I also enrolled and completed a Mindfulness and Mindful Meditation Certification program with YogaRenew. In 2022 I enrolled and completed my YTT 200 hour Yoga Instructor training.  I’m currently working on my specialty training in Restorative Yoga.
