About Your Retreat Facilitator
Born in the heart of Pembroke, I embarked on a journey that defied odds and expectations. A teen mom faced with challenges, I held onto a powerful vision: the woman I aspired to become. Driven by unwavering determination, I yearned to shed the limitations of my circumstances and emerge as a hardworking entrepreneur, the creator of my own destiny.
The path to my dreams wasn't without its trials. A few years ago, the flame of my hairstyling and business venture was momentarily extinguished by burnout. It was a pivotal moment that forced me to recalibrate. In the silence of introspection, I found clarity. My true desires emerged, and at the core was a simple yet profound aspiration—to live authentically.
Turning to spirituality, I immersed myself in growth. I eagerly devoured knowledge through manifestation courses, sound bath workshops, cacao facilitator training, and the study of reiki. Through dedication and resilience, I stand today as the proud owner of a wellness storefront. I've discovered the secret to harmoniously balancing my passions and pursuits, without sacrificing my well-being.
My heart rejoices as I reflect on my evolution. What began as a personal journey has blossomed into a calling. Holding space for women, witnessing their metamorphosis, and gifting them the tools for healing and transformation has become my life's purpose. Each step I take aligns with the destiny the universe has intricately woven for me.
Among the threads of my existence are a few endearing quirks. I wear a lemuinam quartz necklace, a gift I bestowed upon myself as a symbol of self-love and growth. My devotion extends to my two cherished dogs and my teenage son, who fill my life with boundless love and joy. The ritual of daily smudging empowers my spirit, while subconscious manifestation has become second nature.
I stand in awe of the life I've manifested, eagerly embracing all the universe has in store. With anticipation, I look forward to the prospect of meeting you, of guiding and facilitating your journey in Costa Rica. As we weave our stories together, remember that I am not just a facilitator; I am a kindred spirit, walking beside you on this voyage of discovery and transformation.
