Passionate About Life

“I fill my days with joy, hope, peace, love, and a little fire. I enjoy the little things like sitting in my couch corner with a warm blanket and cup of tea and spending quality time with my children. I also embrace being an entrepreneur and finding ways to help others find their true essence with massage, reiki, polarity, and intuitive coaching. I am passionate about life and all it has to offer.”

Knowing Her Worth

“I am a woman who knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to achieve it. A fierce woman who even through the hardships can see the blessing within and how it’s meant to form my life. A woman who is powerful, courageous, and strong with a subtle glow. A woman who knows her worth.”

Believing the Love Within

“Fierce is knowing you made it!”

After my motorcycle accident in 2015, I wasn’t sure how I was going to survive. Jumping through hoops became an everyday thing – one obstacle after another. It wasn’t until I finally made the decision to take my power back and say, “This is mine today” and mean it that I could see the light. It’s like breathing for the first time and believing in the love within.”

Finding Your Spark

“Since entering this decade in life, I’ve learned that throughout life’s journey, the choice is yours. You get to choose your path. You get to find that spark in your soul fiercely like a souped-up motorcycle or a lion who is ready to roar, flying like an eagle with fire in its wings and power in its heart, and being the you that you were always meant to be.”

“I want others to know that age is only a number. That it’s within that truly matters. We all wear a mask at times. Shedding that mask to allow the parts of you fly without fear clogging your path is truly embracing who you are! Being over forty is a gift to say, “I made it. Get out of my way I’m not stopping.”
