A few years ago, I was stuck. I couldn't speak up. I was making decisions that didn't serve me, staying in relationships that made me unhappy, dealing with family dynamics that drained me. I didn't know how to set boundaries without feeling guilty. I was frustrated and pretending everything was fine.

For a long time, I ran…literally. I was a runner. Fast, strong, constantly pushing. But looking back, I realize I was running away from my problems, not dealing with them.

Then I found yoga. And it taught me to stay. To feel what I was actually feeling instead of numbing it or running from it. I went deeper, trained in Bali, studied in India, became obsessed with understanding not just the practice but the why behind it.

Sound healing came next. I didn't have some massive spiritual awakening people talk about. But something shifted. I started studying the science, how sound frequencies affect your nervous system, your brain and your body. I bought my first bowls and started practicing on my dad and my friends. And I could feel it, their energy, where they were stuck, how to help them find balance again.

These practices changed my life. They taught me that sometimes you have to make decisions for yourself that come at a cost to other people, and that's okay. That meaningful change doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from slowing down, listening inward, and doing the work your body's been asking you to do.

I create these beautiful, life changing retreats because I know what it's like to feel stuck, disconnected, and exhausted. And I know these tools work, not because I've "healed," but because I'm still doing the work myself.
