About Me
Who I Am
Born and raised in the charming town of Denville, NJ. I grew up surrounded by the tranquility of nature nestled at a dead end road, in a century-old house by a creek that flowed it’s way to the Rockaway River. My upbringing was full of adventure and down-to-earth enrgy. instilled by my parents, who met skiing, hence the mountain-themed name. Much of my childhood was spent skiing in the West, camping in the woods of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, or simply immersing myself in nature. From a young age I felt a connection to Mother Nature. I was a theatre child and spent many years following this passion. Music was also something that I felt truly connected to from a young age. I danced, sang, and acted my way through childhood, finding solace and expression in the arts.
Yet for all its expressive and enjoyable moments, my journey wasn't without its storms. My father's battle with substance abuse cast long shadows over my adolescence, leaving a dark ripple that only began to mend in my early twenties. The long-overdue divorce of my parents unleashed a torrent of emotions, reshaping my perspective on life and love. During the divorce of my parents, I grew ill; a mix of constant nausea, sharp stomach pains, and the inability to hold down food. It was the beginning of an awakening fro me to get grounded into my body and take recognition to the trauma and stored emotions within. It was a tumultuous journey, but one that taught me lessons about resilience and the true nature of finding self and love within.
Art, diversity, culture, and music have always held a special place in my heart, and when I was sixteen, I discovered my love for the vibrant city of Philadelphia. I knew I wanted to pursue my college education there. Following my intuition, I enrolled into the Fashion Merchandising and Management program at Philadelphia/Jefferson University. This was something I was so confident in pursuing, without a doubt in my mind, and led me to many great career opportunities. Also, during my time there, I was a member of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority. I wasn’t a a very active member, but that sisterhood introduced me to Jul, who is my soul sister. When together we collaborate to heal through our project, Soul Joy Spiritualists.
Jul and I worked 2 desks away as Assistant Buyers at Five Below's corporate office, and lived two blocks away in the heart of Philly. It was magical having a best friend and co-worker who understood me on a spiritual level. In November of 2022, a pivotal moment came when we decided to get our Reiki certifications. This modality and energy altered my being and my life. All that was no longer in frequency with me was disrupted. The ending of my relationship with my partner, signaling both heartache and newfound liberation also brought forth the ending of my job. My dreams evolved and things weren’t aligning; I left there in May of 2023 to take steps towards pursuing a path of healing my heart was calling for. Letting go of the need to control my career and relationships, I embraced the path of healing, trusting in the guidance of the Divine. Every setback, every leap of faith guided me closer to my purpose.
Returning home, I left Philadelphia and felt into the pull towards healing full time. It took several months, new opportunties in between. It all aligned in hte divine orchestration. The universe led me into a role in a holistic rehabilitation clinic right where my story began - in Denville. As a Clinical Assistant for an Adhesion Release Methods provider. I have also been blessed with the role and opportunity to be their Resident Reiki Healer. I’m grasping knowledge of how intricately it all intertwines-energetically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I've tapped into the profound link between body, mind, and spirit, finding joy in being of service and witness for the healing journey of others.
Diving deeper into the link of mind and body, I am also on the path to receive my Breathwork Certification(s). Learning the power of the lungs and the breath’s impact on our body and our nervous system. I am currently a Level 1 student at Kasper Van Der Meulen’s Breathwork Masterclass. I am heading to the Netherlands in June in pursuit of my Level 2 certification. This will be a sacred pilgrimmage toward enhancing my healing offerings.
Life, with all its twists and turns, has taught me the beauty of embracing uncertainty and holding faith.
My Spiritual Journey
My journey of spiritual awakening began with a deep sense of connection to the world, one that felt different from those around me. I noticed signs everywhere, from certain songs to specific numbers and animals, all seemingly communicating messages from a higher realm. When my grandmother passed away before my eighteenth birthday, I felt a profound connection to a spiritual realm beyond our current existence.
In December 2020, I met with a medium whose reading changed my life. Not only did she accurately pick up on present events, but her predictions for the future also unfolded with remarkable precision. She acknowledged my grandmother as one of my spirit guides and sensed a power within me that aligned perfectly with my soul. Inspired by this experience, I purchased a Tarot Deck and began using it for self-reflective journaling, questioning everything around me.
I've always had a playful belief that in another life, I was a healer during the Renaissance, offering readings to those seeking guidance. This belief manifested in sporadic offerings of full readings at Psychic Fairs, connecting me to a potential past version of myself. In 2021, I met my guru, who guided me deeper into the spiritual realm. Continuing to share my practice with the world, I started offering readings at low cost, receiving heartwarming responses that fueled my passion for intuitive gifts and message delivery.
November 2022 marked a pivotal moment as I pursued a Reiki Certification course at the Holistic Apothecary in Ambler, PA. Collaborating with Jul, we offered Reiki at pop-up events and co-wrote a Reiki-infused Guided Meditation. It was then that I realized Reiki was more than a pursuit—it was a calling pulling me forward. In November 2023, I delved deeper into my connection with birds, especially the hummingbird, symbolizing my grandmother. Receiving a hummingbird healing attunement enhanced my connection to this spirit animal and its heart medicine.
The journey continued with the practice of breathwork, which transformed me into a better person and healer. While facilitating for groups and individuals was not new to me, I sought to deepen my abilities through advanced certification and mentorship. Receiving a level 2 certification and experiencing the Breathwork Masterclass live with Kasper would enable me to offer deeper healing experiences to my clients and the world. Following in the footsteps of my mentor, Joseph Anderson of Breathe Free Prosperity, I aim to master transformative potential to facilitate personal growth and collective healing. My breath journey is a sacred pilgrimage toward self-discovery, service, and unconditional love.
