Ever felt like there’s something unique about you, something you can’t quite put your finger on? That was me, growing up. I remember being 11, playing in the backyard with my sister, feeling this deep connection to the universe. It was like there was something out there waiting for me, but I couldn’t quite grasp it. I’d stare at the sky feeling deeply drawn to what was beyond it. Ultimately leading me to tell my mom that I wanted my nick-name to be “sky.” I’d find myself drawn to underground canal tunnels, and quiet parts of nature, sitting still, grounding myself. I didn’t really understand it back then, but it just felt right. I felt connected to something bigger then myself in those moments.

Fast forward to when I turned 21, I was at a crossroads, unsure of my career path. After a heart-to-heart with my brother, who was diving into the trucking industry, he suggested I join him. He was just starting out and needed a driving partner. So, I enrolled in trucking school. A few weeks later, we hit the road, traveling across the USA together. Since I was new and still in training, my income was minimal. My brother, who had recently adopted a vegan diet, offered to cover my meals if I agreed to eat vegan too. "Beggars can’t be choosers," I thought, and I said yes.

In just a few weeks, I started noticing changes. My energy levels skyrocketed, and I lost over 15 pounds of inflammation and body fat. This transformation was hard to ignore. I became curious and started diving into audio books and podcasts on holistic health, nutrition, and natural healing. For nearly 11 hours each day, as I drove, I absorbed everything I could about the power of food and its connection to health and well-being.

When my brother bought his second tractor and I started driving solo, I continued my vegan diet and my newfound passion for holistic health. By the time I was 25, this interest had blossomed into a real pursuit. I enrolled in a Holistic Health Practitioner program and studied holistic nutrition. It was then that I truly began to see that foods didn’t just nourish us; they connected us to the earth and played a role in our healing.

But I still felt like something was missing. My career advanced, and I moved into management in the transportation industry, overseeing fleets across multiple states. Yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more for me to learn about holistic health.

A few years later, a major life upheaval led me to discover energy healing and shamanism, which turned out to be the missing piece I had been searching for. To fully immerse myself in these practices, I bought a 5th wheel travel trailer and decided to live in nature, deepening my connection to the universe and exploring spiritual healing, while pursing my passion for outdoor recreation.  During this time, I worked with shamans and energy healers across the country, earned my Reiki Master Certificate, and continued my education at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

After nearly a decade of study and self healing, I decided to leave my career in the transportation industry. I felt it was time to put my years of study and passion to use, helping others heal through holistic modalities with a key focus on energy healing, shamanism, spiritual coaching and plant medicine. Looking back, I see that the universe had been guiding me all along. I just needed to create the space to understand and embrace it. 

This journey has taught me that sometimes, we just need to trust the process, even if we can’t see the full picture. The universe has a way of leading us to where we’re meant to be.

I am grateful that the universe has guided you here. May this resource serve as the beginning of your healing journey or deepen the one you’ve already begun.
