In 2013, after a series of synchronistic events I left the corporate world behind and embarked on a life-changing journey. I joined the Peace Corps, living and working in the rural villages of Tanzania, Africa, for two years. Immersed in the simplicity of primal living, I began a deep inner exploration of myself through meditation, yoga, writing, and self-reflection. The experience transformed me from the inside out, offering profound lessons about who I truly was beyond the societal expectations I had followed.

Returning to the U.S. in 2015 was more challenging than I expected. I faced a six-month-long dark night of the soul, grappling with depression and reverse culture shock. Yet, from that period of deep struggle, a new chapter emerged. I began my healing journey, diving into various modalities such as breathwork, plant medicine, and Reiki. I traveled through South America, worked with shamans, and launched a plant-based detox program to help others begin their own transformation.
