Hello

At 22, I had no clear idea of how I wanted to spend my life. Although I excelled in school, I felt something was missing. I yearned for something deeper—something with purpose and significance—a vocation, a calling that would truly resonate with who I was.

 

The truth was, I didn’t know who I was. It dawned on me one day that to understand what I wanted to do, I first needed to understand who I am at my core—beyond the expectations and achievements.

 

This realization set me on a winding path of personal struggle and strife, but also one of profound insight, clarity, and wisdom. I faced challenges that forced me to confront my fears and perceieved limitations. But in doing so, I uncovered strengths and passions I never knew existed. These experiences didn’t just prepare me—they transformed me, giving me the tools and empathy, but most importantly the inner peace to guide others on their journeys.

Now, I am equipped and deeply committed to supporting those who are ready to discover their true selves and live a life of fulfillment and purpose.
