Do you feel dissatisfied with life? Are you struggling with finding purpose? Maybe you notice that you tend to care for others before you care for yourself. You could have a hard time saying “no” or even feel guilty afterwards. These predicaments can stem from not intentionally and holistically honoring our being; mind, body, and spirit. Discipline and consistency, as values of self-care, can be incredibly difficult to implement in a world that’s fast-paced and focused on instant gratification. From racial disparities to social injustice, society forces us to adapt to inequity; how are you caring for you?

My ideal client is someone who wants to improve specific areas in their life. They simply want to Get Better!

This fast-paced world is weighing you down, and you feel like you can’t keep up. You’re drowning in a sea of self-help advice and you don’t understand why none of it works for you.
