Hello!
Thank you for visiting my bio page! I'm eager to support you on your healing journey. Keep reading to learn more about me, what inspired my commitment to well-being and wellness, and the vision driving Balance & Vibe.
My Story
Growing up in a large family in Davenport, Iowa, with parents who valued a solid educational foundation, I learned the importance of hard work and sacrifice. My journey into the field of holistic wellness began with an interest in sociology and psychology, which I pursued through community college and a business degree. Alongside, my exposure to yoga at a wellness program at a local military base ignited a passion for holistic practices. I noticed a lack of diversity in these spaces and wanted to make a change. Pursuing a Master of Arts from Western Michigan University in Spirituality, Religion, and Culture, I founded Balance & Vibe to offer affordable, holistic services to disadvantaged and marginalized communities in the Metro Detroit area. My mission is to bridge the gap in healthcare by providing accessible, holistic care options that complement traditional medical practices.
