From a young age, I experienced the world with unusual depth—highly intuitive and deeply attuned to the energy and emotions of those around me. This sensitivity made traditional systems hard to navigate; I often saw and felt what others didn’t. Raised in a broken home in California’s Central Valley, I struggled with mental health early on. The system’s solution? Medication, institutionalization, and therapy that never addressed the root of my pain.

By high school, I had been prescribed over 20 psychiatric medications. Each one dulled my senses until I felt like a shell of myself. I wasn’t living—I was merely existing.

Art became my refuge. Locked away in a classroom after hours, I poured my emotions onto paper, trying to make sense of a world that felt foreign. But after my sixth suicide attempt—and the trauma of witnessing my roommate’s death—something cracked open. A near-death experience revealed a truth I had never considered: I wasn’t broken. I was gifted. And I was meant for something greater.

That moment changed everything. I threw myself into understanding the human body, mind, and energy systems—not through a traditional lens, but through a fusion of science, intuition, research, and ancient wisdom.
