I was born an Aries and raised in Michigan, USA. From the tender age of five, I was enamored with all things magical. In fact, all I wanted for Christmas was a real, live unicorn (still waiting on that one 🦄).

By fifteen, I was already asking the big, burning questions:
“Who am I? Why am I here? What’s my purpose?”
Intent on experiencing the answers—not just reading about them—I set off on what would become my lifelong quest.

After graduating high school and giving college a brief shot, I quickly realized mainstream education wasn’t my jam. So, I ditched the textbooks and hit the road, traveling across the USA in search of myself.

I tried various self-discovery modalities, but they all left me disappointed by their temporary effects. The freedom I longed for remained just out of reach.

Finally, in 1997, I discovered a meditation practice that changed everything. It became the foundation of my inner journey—one I still use and teach today.

I then dove into a seven-month residential intensive teacher training, living in what was essentially a monastery. For six months straight, I meditated 10-12 hours a day, eyes closed. Words can’t fully capture what I unearthed during that time—but in short, it was a game changer. I finally felt like I had come home.
The knowledge became lived experience.
The longing became fulfillment.
And the search was over.

For the last 27 years, I’ve been wholeheartedly committed to the expansion of consciousness, evolution, and freedom. I’ve led or co-led countless retreats worldwide and taught meditation, self-discovery, and how to live a more free and authentic life.

I’ve also mentored many souls on their personal journeys, helping them reconnect with hope, purpose, and ultimately, love—the self-love that was always there, just waiting to be remembered.

My values? Truth. Love. Authenticity. Peace.
And maybe... still holding out for that unicorn.
