A little about me
After spending years in my own dark night of the soul, I discovered that our pain isn’t meant to break us — it’s meant to break us open.
My awakening began in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2018 — after being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer — that everything I thought I knew about healing transformed. That moment became my initiation.
For over twenty years, I lived with panic disorder, trauma, and the weight of unhealed wounds. But through mental transmutation, shadow work, energy healing, and deep somatic practice, I began to alchemize my pain into power — my suffering into sacred medicine.
I created Nova Rising because I know what it's like to feel stuck in patterns you can't escape, to carry pain that doesn't even feel like yours, to know you're meant for more but something invisible holds you back.
This work is my offering - not from a place of having 'arrived,' but from walking the path and wanting to light the way for others. You don't need to be broken to heal. You just need to remember who you've always been beneath the wounds."
