Main Gifts: 24, 44, 19, 33


I’m a life, business, and plant‑medicine coach, and the work I do today is the result of a deeply personal journey of healing and self‑rediscovery. In my early twenties, I reached the kind of career success I thought would bring happiness — responsibility, recognition, achievement — yet underneath it all I felt profoundly unhappy. That discomfort pushed me to ask a deeper question about what fulfilment really is.
Following that question led me into years of inner work: counselling, couples’ work, men’s retreats, spiritual teachings, and time with Indigenous healers. Each experience helped me peel back another layer of the beliefs, conditioning, and emotional patterns that had shaped my life.
A major part of my transformation came through long‑term immersion with plant medicines. After spending more than six months in extended retreats, I went on to work at **Sacha Runa**, managing their two plant‑medicine retreat centres for a year and a half. My role there was deeply relational — I guided guests from their very first contact, supported them throughout their retreat, and stayed connected with them afterwards as they integrated their experiences. That time taught me the importance of emotional safety, clear communication, and genuine presence in transformational spaces.
My own work with plant medicines helped me access and release emotional layers I had carried for decades, reconnecting me with a sense of clarity, softness, and spiritual presence I had forgotten. Alongside modalities like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), these experiences helped me understand how unresolved experiences and inherited beliefs quietly influence our happiness — and how freeing ourselves from them opens the door to a more authentic life.
One of the core truths I’ve learned is this:
**Layers of beliefs and life experiences impact our lives and dictate our happiness. Once we see these layers, we must become aware of and release everything that isn’t truly us.**
This understanding is at the heart of my work.
Today, I support others on their own journeys of emotional healing, self‑awareness, and transformation. My coaching is grounded in lived experience, deep empathy, and the belief that when we clear what isn’t us, we naturally return to who we’ve always been.
