In 2002, I was 15 years young and started my first business as an eccentric jewelry designer.
Being a free spirit at heart and raised in Santa Cruz, CA, I cleverly designed a business that combined my love for fashion with sustainability. Alter Ego Jewelry emerged from babysitting jobs when I noticed parents regularly donating their children's old toys. I was inspired to give new life to these items, and transformed them into high-fashion, edgy and playful jewelry pieces.
Quickly my business grew into fame and I was traveling the world attending trade-shows, film premieres, and runway shows. My jewelry was featured in hundreds of magazines, TV shows, music videos; I even developed relationships with Warner Brothers, Disney, Nickelodeon and others! In a short time, I had obtained the glamorous lifestyle I had always dreamed of, but deeply rooted at my core I was living in sadness.
My health and habits began to take a downward spiral and I knew something had to change.
In 2013, I retired from my successful jewelry business because I woke up one day to a higher calling, to help wake up humanity.
I spent the next 8 years on a journey of intense self exploration, gaining wisdom and discovering healthier life choices, but trust me, it was wild, I even experienced being homeless for a month, but that is another story!
To keep it short, the journey started as I sat in my first Ayahuasca ceremony. Where the veil was lifted and I was shown a world of wonder and enchantment. The Creator connected with me and this was the real beginning of my spiritual awakening. I was encouraged to tap into this alternative, unseen realm and began working closely with the medicine.
My understanding for the power of herbs, ceremony, daily routines following the circadian rhythm and natural cycles of the earth became more concrete during this time.
As my process unraveled my soul revealed itself and I was guided to study Ayurveda, an ancient way of living that our ancestors once closely followed for great health and stronger connection to the cosmos. We see this today with the study of Blue Zones.
During this time I made my way to India where I spent one month at an intensive retreat of Panchakarma.
I became a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and all of the pieces fell together and Destiny By Design came into reality.
My belief is that by natural order and the domino effect, when you identify what your own purpose on Earth is, plus uncover wounds and then create freedom to succeed at reaching your dreams, you will have the potency to help elevate our world, one human at a time.
I have had the pleasure to passionately inspire over three thousand clients to align their souls to their goals from blooming entrepreneurs, young adults, CEOs, stay at home moms, homeless travelers, and people who have been diagnosed with the “incurable” mental and physical disorders plus so many more!
I believe The Creator guided me to take a Giant leap of faith into the unknown so that I would go through unexplainable experiences and to pop out on the other side to share and teach the wisdom that it is possible to live a uniquely soul-led life!
Since you are here, it may be true for you too. If you feel it in your gut, you know exactly what I am talking about!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I am excited to get to know you and see how I can be of service!
Blessings to you my dear!
