My Story

At the age of 24, I found myself in a very dark place, almost at the point of ending it all. That moment became a turning point for me. I began to delve deeply into spirituality, healing, and mindfulness, searching for the deeper truths of life.

As I evolved, I became a coach, focusing on embodiment work and breath practices. I wanted to share what I had learned, so I created an online community called 'Breathing Space' and developed a flagship program around these practices. Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with major brands around the world, to help build emotional resilience in others.

I've also written a book, 'It's Them, Not You,' which is aimed at helping people heal from toxic parents and reclaim their personal stories. My work over the past decade has reached thousands of people around the world, fostering both community and personal growth. This journey has been deeply meaningful to me, and I'm dedicated to continuing this work, helping others find the clarity and peace that I've discovered.
