I started my own business in April 2018 in the natural health and wellness industry. I was nervous and scared but excited and ready to take on this new chapter in my life. I couldn't wait to tell my best friend at the time.  She was in fact the very person that told me about the fluoride in toothpaste and the aluminum in deodorant.  She taught me about burning palo santo and sage.  I thought she would be proud and excited for me and I hoped she would be on board.  I met her when I was 19 years old on Maui as coworkers. We hit it off and were instantly inseparable for 2 years before I moved to San Francisco.  She even moved to the mainland a few years later and lived with me in San Francisco for a few months several years before my son was born. 

I remember one of the last conversations with her.  I had just listened to her rant and rave about something for half an hour. My company had an extremely good deal and I just wanted to tell her about it in case she wanted to take advantage of the price cut. Before I could finish my sentence she totally cut me off.  I don’t wanna hear it! She screams at me and continues to go off.  Oh okay no worries I try to stammer out and hung up.  I was shocked that she acted that way, but more importantly that conversation made me decide that from that point on I was not going to be quiet and I was not going to stop believing in my truth and purpose. I didn’t speak up for myself during that conversation but i wish i did at that time.  From then on i made a decision that I would speak up for myself and not let anyone try to dim my light.  That experience because it made me so much stronger. This was also when I decided it was time to take a look at who the key people were in my life and if they should continue on that way or if it was time to cut some cords. Cutting her out was difficult but knowing that I could and I would continue on without my best friend empowered me. She was the first of several people I distanced myself from and I'm so grateful for it.  I’m so much stronger now. I’m speaking up for myself and others more and I’m serving my tribe daily.   I’m also much more protective of my space and energy and who I give that too. I am surrounded by loving and strong females who see my worth and remind me that I am imperfectly perfect and that’s totally okay and we can do life together hand in and hand without any judgments. I feel seen and heard and excited for what’s to come because i'm choosing to shine my light for no reason and help others.

My Story

 

Ever since I was a young child, I was always very moody.  Considered ultra sensitive, my anxiety was always through the roof.  As a young adult I got therapy and took prescription drugs which I thought would help.  I even had an as needed anxiety medication I had a panic attack.to keep on me just in case. I just wanted to feel like myself again.I tried different medication and therapists, hypnotherapy, whatever I could find.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I decided to stop all medications, even down to over the counter to protect my baby. I liked not taking a bunch of pills daily but I didn’t feel like I was getting any better.  Everyday I put on a face so everyone around me would believe everything was okay when I knew I clearly wasn’t. 


I always clung to a Higher Power for protection and guidance and my faith carried me through many years of uncertainty and very high stress. I was unhappy in my relationships, my job, and more. I felt like my whole life needed a makeover but I had no idea where to even start. One day this lady came into the store where I worked and she shared a new way of thinking.


Now I’m so much happier and feel a million times better overall. My faith in the Universe/Higher Power/God/Spirit grows more and more each day.I am working on my health and wellness and my life has changed drastically. I gained confidence in myself to leave bad relationships, left a job and found a better one (or two).  Most of all I see my dream life vision coming together slowly, yet surely. I’m so excited to help others do the same.I have an amazing support group of awesome women all working together to achieve our dreams. I see that the power of positivity and love is contagious and I’m happy I can share that with the world.  Of course I still have ups and downs but now I have tools to help myself and others that can relate.


Come join our group of amazing ladies all working together to build our dreams in a loving and high vibe atmosphere.
