In 2018 I burned out. Years of pushing myself to do too much and be everything to everyone, combined with two devastating and stressful events in my personal life, led me to a breaking point. But a burnout is not always what you expect, it’s not always a rock bottom moment in which you’re brought to your knees and make a commitment to yourself that it’s time for a change. A burnout is often quiet and slow, it chips away at your energy, your self-esteem, your motivation, and your hope slowly over months or even years. Eventually I recognized that I felt numb and exhausted 99.9% of the time. I couldn’t produce any new work. I couldn’t imagine or go after any new goals. I was frozen, and eventually I decided to do something about it.

​

I dabbled into a few energetic practices, but nothing was really clicking or working for me. I wasn’t seeing any progress until breathwork entered my life. I had heard about breathwork here and there, mostly from some people I knew who were practicing in Bali, and my intrigue got me doing a lot of research to learn more. When something peaks my interest I dive deep, and little did I know that I was going to throw myself so deeply into something as simple yet so complex as breathing. 

​

In December 2019 I experienced a breathwork session for the first time and I left that session completely changed. Not because it took away all my problems in 90 minutes, but because I had finally experienced something that I felt had the potential to transform my life. And it did. Over the next three years I would undertake a 400-hour training to become a certified breathwork facilitator, which initiated my development of a daily breathwork practice that allowed me to release years of repressed emotions, unconscious pain, limiting beliefs, and old programming. Time after time the breath would open the door to my subconscious and help me purge. 

​

Slowly, I began to see noticeable changes in my life. I handled stress differently. My life-long anxiety disappeared. Superficial relationships dissolved and those that were strong became deeper and even more fulfilling. I began to set goals for myself and I had motivation and drive to achieve them. I was more focused. I had more fun. I laughed more. I slept better and I developed an increasingly healthy lifestyle that eventually led me to become the healthiest I’ve been in my entire life. My spiritual life deepened and I developed a profound connection to a higher Source that I now felt was guiding me and I was able to trust and surrender with more ease. I started to finally become myself, the person I was born to be. I gained confidence, I began to express my needs and set boundaries, I developed new passions and talents, and slowly my life completely transformed. 

​

Change is not something that happens overnight. Change is a choice we make and a commitment to our future self, because change happens gradually, over many months and many years, and sometimes we don’t even notice it’s happening until we wake up one morning and realize that everything is different and that the person looking back at us in the mirror is that future self we were so committed to. This is my story of transformation, but it is also the inspiration I bring to my clients and it is what fuels my mission to reawaken humans to their innate power and to provide them with the tools to become the creators of their lives.
