Since I was in 4th grade, I’ve been creating—whether it was making greeting cards, planning Halloween parties, cooking for my family, or crafting decor and canvases. But when it came time to choose a college, my creative passions were sidelined. I was told that pursuing a creative path like culinary school wouldn’t lead to financial success, so I found myself at a school that didn’t align with my true self. I adapted, suppressing my eccentricity and trying to fit my dreams into others’ expectations.

It wasn’t until I moved to Peru that I could finally hear my own voice. Surrounded by strangers and free from societal pressures, I began exploring the creative pursuits I had always longed for, such as writing children’s books. That journey gave me the freedom to create without the weight of expectations, filling me with joy and laughter. As I ventured into self-publishing and other artistic expressions, I realized that I couldn’t continue to compromise my creativity to fit into the world’s idea of success.

When I left my teaching job to fully focus on my creative projects, I experienced a deep depression. It took time to realize I needed to reconnect to my true energy source, a spirit-driven creativity, rather than the exhaustion of constantly trying to “go, go, go.” Slowly, I rebuilt myself and found that many fellow creatives share similar struggles. I wanted to be the person who holds space for creatives, offering them the support and encouragement they need to reignite their own inner embers.

With my background in business, social work, and relationship coaching, I am committed to helping others live their most authentic creative lives. I offer coaching that combines spiritual guidance and practical tools, ensuring that every creative soul knows they are not alone and that their dreams are worth pursuing.
