"Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who you've always been."

A Life Rooted in Nature

I didn’t grow up in a typical home.

My childhood wasn’t defined by neighborhoods, classrooms, or city streets. Instead, it was shaped by the open ocean, winding coastlines, mountain trails, and the endless curiosity that comes from exploring the natural world.

For much of my early life, home was a sailboat or a Volkswagen camper. My family traveled extensively throughout Mexico, Central America, and South America, spending time in places where life moved with the rhythms of nature rather than the pace of modern society. I was homeschooled, but some of my greatest teachers were the forests, the ocean, and the people whose lives were deeply connected to the land.

We fished for our meals, foraged for edible and medicinal plants, and learned to appreciate the wisdom that nature quietly offers to anyone willing to observe. Long before I understood the science behind the human body, I was learning that healing exists all around us. Looking back, I realize I was studying healing long before I knew that’s what I was doing.

A Foundation in Healthcare

As an adult, my path led me into nursing, where I spent more than 15 years as a Registered Nurse caring for people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

Later, I served as a medical cannabis consultant, meeting one-on-one with thousands of individuals searching for answers, relief, and hope. My nursing career also took me into places few people ever experience. I served in disaster relief efforts alongside military personnel during the aftermath of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ike, and other national emergencies. Those experiences changed me forever.

In hospitals, disaster zones, and private consultations, I witnessed something extraordinary. The human spirit has an incredible capacity to heal. But I also witnessed something that traditional medicine couldn’t fully explain.... Why do two people with the same diagnosis often experience completely different healing journeys?

That question stayed with me. It became the beginning of a lifelong search for a deeper understanding of health and healing.

Over the years, that search led me to study medical astrology, Human Design, holistic nutrition, herbal medicine, meditation, sound healing, Reiki, hypnosis, and the profound connection between the mind, body, spirit, energy, and our natural rhythms.

What I Have Discovered

What I discovered wasn’t a replacement for science—it was an expansion of it. I came to understand that every person carries a unique blueprint. Our bodies communicate through patterns. Our emotions tell stories. Our experiences shape us. And healing is rarely about simply treating symptoms. It’s about understanding the whole person.

Today, I combine my background in nursing with years of studying holistic wellness, astrology, Human Design, and mind-body practices to help people better understand themselves. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I believe each person deserves an approach that honors who they are individually.

Whether we’re exploring your energetic design, your life patterns, your emotional landscape, or practical ways to support your physical well-being, my goal is always the same: To help you reconnect with the wisdom that’s already within you. I don’t believe healing means becoming someone new. I believe it means remembering who you’ve always been beneath the expectations, stress, and experiences that caused you to lose sight of yourself.

If my journey has taught me anything, it’s this: Nature heals. Knowledge empowers. Awareness transforms. And every person already carries the potential to become their own greatest healer. I’m simply honored to walk beside you as you rediscover yours. Welcome to SoulRoot Wellness. I’m so glad you’re here.

My Philosophy

At SoulRoot Wellness, I believe lasting wellness begins by seeing the whole person.

Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, I help people explore the connections between their physical health, emotional well-being, energy, mindset, relationships, life experiences, and personal patterns.

Whether we're exploring your unique energetic blueprint, supporting your wellness goals, or creating space for greater self-awareness, my hope is always the same:

To help you reconnect with the wisdom that's already within you.

Because I don't believe healing is about fixing what's broken.

I believe it's about remembering who you've always been beneath life's expectations, stress, and challenges.
