I was born in Richmond, BC Canada, in a happy household of my mother, father and older brother.

​

Until the age of 4…

​

When my mother passed away.

​

I had lost the #1 person closest to my heart, and was now a motherless daughter. I mourned the passing of my mother for my entire childhood.

​

Soon after, my brother was put in foster care. I was 5.

​

I lost my beloved older brother throughout my childhood when we couldn’t keep in contact.

​

My entire childhood went on to become turbulent and abusive.

​

At age 15, I no longer lived with my family.

​

At age 17, I officially moved out while in 12th grade.

​

I worked (hosted, served and bartended) at restaurants trying to make a living to survive.

​

I eventually couldn’t handle it all while going to school and having depression, so I dropped out of high school so I could work to live.

​

My first apartment was in a 2 bedroom apartment, with 1 person in a bedroom, a 2nd person in the 2nd bedroom, and 3 people in the living room separated with curtains. I was in the living room, sharing the small space with 2 others. It was a cockroach infested apartment.

​

I was only 17, young and broke.

​

I went to Starbucks to sneak milk into a water bottle at the condiment station. I survived off of $1 instant noodles from the dollar store. This is how I survived at age 17.

​

I suffered from clinically diagnosed major depression for 7+ years, had a self-harm addiction, dropped out of high school and attempted suicide multiple times before the age of 18.

​

I got into a codependent relationship that lasted 3 years, then we broke up.

​

After, I got into an anxious-avoidant relationship for 3-4 years, where I was the one who was anxiously-attached.
I had to learn to heal my insecure attachment style, my abandonment wounds, my codependent nature and my people-pleasing tendencies.

​

I had to learn to love myself, essentially.

​

Even though I was somewhat physically independent, I was not emotionally independent.

​

I had to step out of my comfort zone many many many times to heal.

​

This is my journey.

​

And it all began through a series of challenges presented to me as opportunities to heal and grow.

​

In 2018, I started going to the gym regularly and learning about health and nutrition.

​

I went back to graduate high school with straight A’s and honours.

​

In 2019, I enrolled in post-secondary.

​

I went to school and graduated with honours in my marketing program, all in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

​

In 2020, I took up personal development as a nearly-obsessive passion and hobby. I was dedicated and committed.

​

I read all the self-help books. I took notes.

​

I introspected, reflected and journaled.

​

I took up wellness, yoga and explored plant medicine.

​

I started doing shadow work.

​

I started going to therapy to heal my inner child and my past traumas.

​

I learned healthy coping mechanisms.

​

I learned how to regulate and release emotions.

​

I started investigating my triggers to heal the areas within me that kept me bondage.

 

I fixed my diet by choosing healthier, whole foods.

​

I drank more water.

​

I prioritized sleep.

​

I took cold showers.

​

I meditated daily.

​

I started getting comfortable with being alone. In fact, now I LOVE being alone.

​

I went on solo trips to foreign countries, backpacked Southeast Asia alone, dined in restaurants alone and explored different continents on my own.

​

I no longer needed someone else to fulfill me or complete me. 

​

I no longer attached myself to toxic situations and unhealthy people.

​

The old me was gone.
And the new me was exactly who I was meant to be.
And everything I went through was there for me to become her.

​

I’m proud to say I’m at my peak health in terms of physical, emotional and mental well-being.

​

I’ve never been happier.

​

I’ve never felt more at peace.

​

I’ve never trusted myself to this level.

​

And I’m here now.

​

In 2022, after my 3-4 year anxious-avoidant relationship ended, I moved out, ended my apartment lease, sold half my belongings, stashed the rest in a storage locker, packed a suitcase and became a digital nomad.

​

My first destination was Bali. I lived there for 6 weeks, focusing on my healing, wellness, spirituality and personal growth.

​

At the time, I was running a Tiktok account about self-help and self-love that grew to over 10k of dedicated, loyal niche followers.

​

I talked about everything I knew, learned and overcame in my life. My videos went viral, surpassing over 300k views, hundreds of thousands of likes, comments and saves.

I was at a retreat in Bali when I had a revelation to turn this little hobby of mine into a full business.

​

And that leads me to this self-love coaching business that I do today.

​

I am now an accredited Certified Life Coach, Certified Self-Love Coach, Certified Law of Attraction Coach, and I am working towards earning coaching certifications in stress-management, women empowerment, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and EFT tapping to further help my clients.

​

I am equipped with not only my own personal story of how I overcame life obstacles, but also all the mindsets, healthy coping mechanisms, perspectives, wisdom, lessons and tools to help move myself and others forward.

​

I know what it’s like choosing unhealthy partners and getting attached to them over and over again.

​

I know how it’s like feeling disempowered and insecure about yourself.

​

I know how debilitating it feels thinking everyone else is judging you.

​

I know how exhausting it can be always trying to please others, that you neglect your own needs.

​

I know how you can feel stuck, when your perfectionism gets in the way of you moving forward.

​

I know how hard it can be to let go and forgive others when someone has done you wrong over and over again.

​

I know how difficult it can be to forgive yourself, when you fall short of your own expectations.

​

I know how miserable life can be when you’re living each day to serve someone else’s dream, that you don’t take YOUR own aspirations seriously.

​

I know how you fear being alone because it feels lonely or boring, so you always try to be with others instead.

​

I’m inspired and passionate about helping you on your journey and path of life and self love development.

​

I know how hard and challenging it can get.

​

I know how lonely and lost this can all feel, when it seems like no one else understands what you’re going through.

​

I went through this dark tunnel alone so I could come back and tell you that there IS a light on the other side, and that it DOES end.

​

And I want to help you every step of the way.

​

I healed myself so I can help heal others.

​

I’ve never felt more strongly that this is my true purpose in this life.

​

And I’ll do everything I can to improve myself so I can help support others and uplift the world.
