For the women who’ve stayed silent, yet always known…
You feel the call to step into your power: to stop hiding, start sharing your story without shame, and become who you came here to be.
I walk with women through soul initiations,
guiding you to cross the threshold from who you once were to who you are becoming.
About Me – The Initiator’s Pathway
I followed every path I was told would make me successful.
Teacher.
Stripper.
Super Yacht Crew.
I chased freedom through money, adrenaline, pleasure, and validation.
On the outside, I was wild, desirable, successful.
On the inside, I felt fragmented, numb, and disconnected.
Alcohol. Drugs. Parties. Casual $ex.
Chasing highs. Empty lows.
By 2019, everything collapsed.
Heartbreak. Being fired. Identity loss.
That breakdown became my awakening.
As the world shut down, I opened my first online coaching business in April 2020…
& simultaneously began walking myself back into my body through plant medicine, deep self-inquiry, shadow work, and years of investment in mentors, coaches, teachers, and guides.
I went all in on my business & moved to Tulum, Mexico in January 2021
I didn’t dabble.
I devoted.
I led leaders.
Coached hundreds of super yacht crew and spiritual entrepreneurs.
Held space for hundreds of women through circles and retreats…
And eventually, the shamanic path found me.
In 2022, I became a certified drum carrier and shamanic practitioner.
I’ve hosted hundreds of women’s circles since August 2021, five intimate group women’s spiritual and shamanic retreats since January 2022, and hundreds of shamanic sessions, incorporating shamanic drum journeying and vocal liberation after a year of initiation and rite of passage with my teachers Beata Alfoldi and Malika Avani.
Since then, I have facilitated over 500 shamanic drum journeys…
guiding people safely into non-ordinary states, teaching them to trust their inner worlds, and return with clarity and power.
And now, my mission is unmistakable:
I am here to initiate women into this work.
Not as followers.
Not as cookie-cutter coaches.
But as sovereign facilitators who know how to hold medicine without bypassing, bleeding, or burning out.
