Hello
For over three decades, I’ve walked a personal and professional path of healing. My journey has been pieced together by trauma survival, unwavering faith, and a calling to help others transform. As a trauma survivor, believer, and passionate advocate for healing, my life’s mission has centered around what I call SPM Health: the integration of Spiritual, Physical, and Mental wellness. I coined this framework during my graduate studies, and it continues to guide every part of my work today. When I stay anchored in my spiritual purpose, I’ve found that physical wellness—through movement and nourishing food—and mental healing tend to align and flow with greater ease.
God, in His perfect timing, led me to the practice of Somatic Breathwork; a powerful modality that invites us to release emotions stored in the body for years, even decades. Through the Soma+IQ™ method, I have witnessed profound breakthroughs in myself and others. This work is sacred to me. It’s not just therapy. It is a return to the body, to truth, and to the presence of God in our healing.
My Story
I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Illinois. I’ve worked as a mental health therapist, fitness trainer, gym owner, and spiritual mentor. My professional experience includes work with Virginia Home Based Counseling (VHBC) and crisis intervention at Daron Emergency Shelter in Pennsylvania along. I also served as a Board Member and Presenter for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), where I led numerous workshops and panels across New York State and was honored with the 2008 Most Creative Award.
​
For 10 years, I was the proud owner of CrossFit Never Give Up, a space where I helped people not only build physical strength but also rediscover emotional resilience. I held multiple CrossFit certifications, including Level 1, Level 2, Kettlebell, and Olympic Lifting. As a Certified Fitness Trainer credential from the ISSA, I was Co-Owner of Premier Training in Fresno, California.
​
Now, I’m honored to bring all these life experiences together in my work as a Somatic Breathwork Practitioner. Whether you're just starting your healing journey or seeking a deeper layer of transformation, I’m here to support you with compassion, skill, and the belief that healing is holy work—and it’s never too late.
