My story
I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of how to move forward. For years, I lived that reality. My journey has been one of struggle, resilience, and transformation, a path that’s led me to help others who are walking similar roads.
I grew up in a military family, constantly on the move and navigating a difficult home life with an absentee father and a mother battling addiction and mental health challenges. By my teenage years, I was on my own, raising myself in Las Vegas. Life wasn’t easy, but it taught me how to survive, and eventually, how to thrive.
In 1992, I became a Firefighter Paramedic with the Clark County Fire Department. At the time, less than 1% of firefighters in the world were women, and stepping into that role was both an honor and a challenge. The firehouse became my family, and together we faced life’s highs and lows, fires, rescues, divorces, suicides, and everything in between. I loved the job and poured my heart into it for 20 years. But even as I excelled professionally, receiving awards like Firefighter of the Year in 1998, I often felt disconnected from myself. The weight of trauma and stress built up over time.
A neck injury in 2010 ended my firefighting career sooner than I had planned. It was devastating to lose the identity I had built around my work. But that loss forced me to confront something deeper: why I felt so out of sync with myself and the world around me. That question set me on a healing journey I never expected.
I started with yoga and meditation, trying to quiet my mind and reconnect with my body. Over time, I explored nutrition, energy healing, breath work, and even psychedelic medicine under the guidance of trusted shamans. These experiences opened doors within me that I didn’t know existed, doors to joy, self-awareness, and spiritual connection. For the first time in my life, I didn’t just feel like a survivor; I felt whole.
This transformation wasn’t easy, it took years of deep work, but it changed everything for me. And as I healed, I realized that my purpose was clear: to help others who are struggling like I once was.
Front line workers face unique challenges, the physical demands of the job, the emotional toll of constant crisis, and the unspoken expectation to “tough it out.” I’ve been there. I’ve walked through that fire. And now I’m here to help you rise from it.
Let's work together to unlock your greatest potential and support your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
My journey from the fire service to becoming a Transformation Coach has equipped me with the tools and experience to help you achieve high performance physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, both on and off duty.
