"I discovered meditation in the late ’90s after the tragic and unexpected death of my infant daughter. It happened on Thanksgiving Eve—one of the most heightened times of the year.
While I was at work, I received a call: my daughter had been hurt falling out of bed, and she and my husband were at the hospital. By the time I arrived, she was on life support. She would not survive.
I later learned the truth—she hadn’t fallen. Her father, my ex-husband, had beaten her. The story made headlines across news networks. Reporters surrounded my apartment, false stories spread, and in a single day, I lost my child, my home, my job, and nearly my sanity.
Desperate for peace, I turned to every spiritual and healing practice I could find, trying to understand: Why did this happen? Who am I now?
Again and again, I was led back to one thing: meditation. I didn’t know what it was or how to do it, but I knew I couldn’t keep living in the pain. I chose to survive—and eventually, to thrive."
Since walking through the fire of unimaginable loss, I’ve discovered peace… joy… and unconditional love. In the midst of grieving my first daughter, I found out I was pregnant again—with our second child. I chose to continue the pregnancy and gave birth to another beautiful baby girl, a beacon of light during a time of deep darkness.
Years later, I remarried and embraced motherhood fully—welcoming my third, fourth, fifth, and sixth children into the world. After a decade, the marriage ended, and I stepped into the next chapter of my life as a single mother of five.
Over the years, I’ve also blossomed into a business owner, a renowned performance artist in theater and film, a couture fashion model, a creative director for prestigious organizations, an international speaker, and even a former U.S. delegate. I’ve studied and certified in meditation, yoga, life coaching, NLP, and childbirth support—and I now host retreats, teach workshops, and speak on stages across the world. Whew, chile… it’s been a journey!
Now, more than 25 years later, I share my story to show women—especially mothers—that thriving after trauma is possible. I teach women how to shift their mindset and build a personalized toolkit that creates space for peace, clarity, and purpose—without pulling out your hair, nails, or teeth to get there. We’re keeping it graceful over here.
