It all started when I found myself at another crossroads, overwhelmed and drained. As a single mother, I was no stranger to diversity. But this was different. The weight of my past: homelessness, unstable family dynamics, and the emotional burden of raising a child alone, it was like one day suddenly everything just came crashing down on me. 

My days blended into a never-ending cycle of stress and anxiety. Work pressures and the responsibilities of motherhood were suffocating me. I knew I had to provide for my daughter, but how could I do that if I was falling apart? I felt trapped, a hamster in a never-ending wheel of responsibilities and emotional turmoil. I was burning out and couldn't see a way out. 

The Realization

 One night, sitting alone in my room, I broke down. I couldn't help but think: "Is this the life I'm destined for? Is this the example I'm setting for my daughter?" It was a gut-wrenching moment, one filled with despair but also clarity. I realized I couldn't continue down this path of self-destruction. I had to change not only for myself but for my daughter and for the future, I knew I deserved. 

I immersed myself into all things self-care, wellness, and healing. I started working out to help with stress relief, going to church, practicing mindfulness, meditation and yoga. Eventually, I found sound healing through meditation, which opened the door to Reiki, and wellness coaching.  I pursued multiple certifications in sound healing, became a reiki master, and obtained my certification in health and wellness coaching. I studied business to solidify my foundation. The journey wasn't easy; it required sacrifice, dedication, and facing some hard truths about myself and the choices I've made. But as I delved deeper into these practices, something incredible happened- I started to heal. I felt a newfound sense of peace and direction that I had never experienced before. 

Why I do what I do

And that's why I founded Sound x Selfcare. I don't want anyone to go through the emotional hell I lived in for so long. I know the debilitating effects of stress and burnout because I've experienced them firsthand. I understand the despair that comes from feeling like you have no options. But I also know the immense relief and empowerment that comes from taking charge of your well-being and I would be honored to be able to assist you with yours.
