I’ve never been great at fitting into boxes.
I’m all about breaking free, exploring every hidden corner, and stirring things up, so writing my bio is a bit tricky...
I've been called: Intuitive Guide. Cosmic Channel. Change Maker - Spiritually and Financially. Medicine Woman. Activator. Energy Alchemist. Frequency Weaver. Coach. Creative. Healer. Catalyst. Explorer. Empowerer. Facilitator. Spiritual Disruptor. Muse. Artist. Mystic. Visionary. Soul Illuminator. Teacher. Writer. Rebel. Renaissance Woman.
Ultimately, I’m here to help you break boundaries, redefine what’s possible, and light up your spirit to live a radically free, joyful, and unapologetically authentic life.
