I became a mother at 21, and much of my life was shaped around caring for other people. I raised three children largely on my own, while living far away from the friends and family I could have leaned on.

I loved my children. But over time, I realized how little room I had made for my own interests, friendships, and well-being. Leaving an unfulfilling marriage meant making difficult changes and facing other people’s expectations, along with the societal pressures of the perception of what a woman should do and how she should be. I began learning that caring for myself was something I deserved, even while continuing to care deeply for the people I loved.

That experience helped shape Becoming Her.

I focused on who I wanted to be. Not who everyone else wanted me to be. As a holistic health and wellness coach, and a certified 500-hour yoga teacher with expertise in meditation, I bring practices for reflection and awareness, along with personal understanding of this season of life. Becoming Her combines those practices with supportive conversations and practical steps you can make your own.

I created the kind of space I would have welcomed: somewhere to hear myself, feel understood, and begin making choices that included me.
