About Me

I was born and raised in San Antonio on the South Side by my amazing dad! I got my love for classic rock, 80’s, and 90’s music from him, and he always supported me in all of my pursuits.

I love fiction and still prefer paperback books over anything electronic. I have a deep connection with animals. I worked in several industries, all of which were extremely high-stress including management, travelling every day as a sales rep, acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting. In fact, I did several of those things at the same time.

I used to really pride myself on having a hustle mindset! I lived on coffee and energy drinks and always worked until the wee hours of the morning. I shared those quotes about making zero excuses if you really want something and sleeping when you’re dead.

That was until a lot of stuff happened in my life over the years. My dad passed away, I went through a divorce, I got laid off, then the pandemic happened! I gained a pound…or 20…like a lot of people during the pandemic. I worked 15 years in the nutrition and natural supplements industry though, so I knew and was doing all the physical and nutritional things I needed to do to get back on track health-wise, but emotionally and spiritually I felt off.

Although I respect people who are fulfilled with organized religion, I had a bad experience growing up so that was not going to be the answer for me. After joining an online wellness community though called Manifest House, I finally found what I was seeking! I became invigorated through meditation practice, sound healing, and then I met Jessica, my now Reiki Master. She was teaching a class about crystal energies, which I was excited to attend because I had a collection as a child and remember being drawn to them but lost touch over the years. Through Jessica I also discovered reiki. I worked with both crystals and reiki for awhile and noticed such a profound difference in my entire wellbeing, so I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner under Jessica and Advanced Crystal Practitioner through the Love & Light School of Crystal Therapy.

The beautiful thing about crystal energies and reiki is that it doesn’t matter what belief system you have, they are for and can benefit anybody with their energetic and emotional health. We are not just physical beings. We do need food with nutrients to sustain a healthy life, but we also need emotional nutrition, and that is where crystals and reiki can help.
