My wellness journey began in 2007, when a close friend introduced me to Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About. That moment changed how I viewed health and personal responsibility. I began questioning everyday norms and made my first conscious shifts — removing the microwave from my home, eliminating pork, and slowly stepping away from beef. These early choices planted the seeds for a much deeper transformation.
In 2014, a colleague introduced me to The South Beach Diet, which became my entry point into understanding nutrition in a structured way. For the first time, I could see how food influenced the body beyond weight — impacting energy, inflammation, and balance. This knowledge gave language and science to changes I had already begun to feel intuitively.
By 2017, my path evolved into a fully vegan lifestyle. I give thanks to documentaries like Cowspiracy, What the Health, and The Game Changers on Netflix. Through vegan cooking classes, I was introduced to Dr. Sebi–approved foods and alkaline principles, deepening my relationship with food as medicine and reinforcing the power of intentional nourishment.
As my awareness expanded, I felt called to movement and breath as tools for healing. I started yoga teacher training with Yoga Angels in Jamaica and compeleted with Harmony Yoga from Costa Rica, experiences that grounded my practice in embodiment, spirituality, and cultural respect. Yoga became not just something I practiced, but a way I lived.
My journey then led me to Queen Afua’s womb wellness program. This work was deeply transformative and clarified my purpose, allowing me to support women in reconnecting with their bodies, cycles, intuition, and ancestral wisdom.
My continued studies in herbalism further expanded my understanding of plant medicine and holistic healing. Learning from indigenous Black and Brown teachers across the world has shaped my practice in profound ways, grounding my work in lineage, respect, and lived knowledge. I give thanks to the BIPOC Herbalism Conference.
None of this journey was walked alone. I am deeply grateful for my tribe — my mother, my God sister, my close friends, my sorority sisters, and the community that poured into me, kept me in prayer, and held me steady through every season. I am even thankful for those who hurt me along the way; their lessons refined me, strengthened me, and helped shape the woman and practitioner I am today.
My work is an offering — bridging ancient wisdom with modern life and holding space for healing that is intentional, embodied, and deeply rooted.
I am a holistic wellness practitioner whose work integrates nutrition, movement, womb wellness, and plant medicine. My approach blends lived experience, formal training, and ancestral wisdom to support healing that is intentional, embodied, and deeply rooted.
