A Note To My Visitors
I have struggled with anxious thoughts throughout my life. From a young age, I was in therapy, but I still didn’t find lasting relief from my worries and fears. Then, in May 2019, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer—a life-altering moment. Anxiety and fear became an overwhelming force in my life.
Let me explain how I discovered a way out of being controlled by anxiety. At the encouragement of a nurse navigator, I joined a meditation support group. This experience opened the door to mindfulness, which became a powerful tool in my healing and in managing the intense stress of my treatments.
Learning to train my mind to stay in the present moment and not be trapped in endless catastrophic thoughts helped calm my anxiety, improve my sleep, manage my pain, and bring a sense of balance and hope back into my life.
Inspired by my own transformation, I wanted to share the practices I learned that helped me heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.
This work is from my heart. I know the pain of anxiety, but I also know the way through - to be happier, more relaxed, and more optimistic about the future. Helping others find peace, just like I did, is what I’m meant to do.
If something in my story speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.
You’re not alone—and when you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support, and guide you.
My Vision
My Vision is to create a world where no one feels alone and no one is ruled by the constant cycle of anxious thoughts, fears, or worries - where they can navigate life’s changes - where healing, peace, and clarity are within reach, even in life’s hardest moments.
My Mission
My Mission is to support others through anxiety, fear, and life’s uncertainties with compassionate, innovative, practical, and effective solutions. By quieting racing thoughts, reconnecting to the present moment, and rediscovering inner calm, they will no longer have to walk their path alone.

Right Vs Left Brain
Our left and right brain offer us two different dimensions of thinking and perceiving. The left side is rational and analytical, but also unreliable and dependent on our natural and controlled filters. The right side is abstract, conceptual and perhaps even more truthful, but its insights are harder to grasp intellectually.
The United States values the rationality and practicality of left brain thinking and puts more importance on it in our educational system. Concentrated thought and planning is considered to be needed for progress and success. Contrary to our right brain, its emphasis is on intuition, creativity, and spirituality. It takes in the emotional importance of the effect of our actions on others and their consequences for the world that surrounds us.
The left brain likes to categorize; the right, is more about holistic awareness, looking at the whole picture, looking at relationships, looking at how things fit together. It's okay that things are vague. Unlike the right, the left likes certainty. It's about living things rather than abstract. The left brain manages what is repetitive, familiar, and mundane.
A left brain meditation would be a disembodied experience, a very detached experience; in contrast, a right brain meditation would be more about really feeling the body and being present in the world. A left brain meditation may be about concentrating and focusing; the right approach would be about having very open awareness, accepting everything as it is within your awareness, not analyzing, and not judging. The left brain is also about manipulation, grasping, and changing things. The right brain is about accepting things as they are.
An example of a left brain meditation could be where you're counting the breath - a mental
process. In this meditation, you are using a mental process as a way of concentrating and
focusing.
In contrast, right brain meditation is about feeling the breath in the body, fully embodying the experience, and noticing it within the space around you. Practicing that the breath isn't just something that happens to the body. The idea is an open awareness rather than concentration, embodied feeling rather than abstract, accepting things as they are rather than trying to change them.
A left brain meditation is positive thinking like, "I'm going to change my thoughts." "I'm going to make myself think positively." Whereas a right brain meditation would be, "I'm just going to allow my thoughts to be as they are." "I am aware of my environment in this moment."
My meditations invite you into this right brain way of being: open, gentle, and accepting. Together, we create space to notice whatever arises, without judgment or analysis. You simply rest in awareness, feeling the breath move through your body, embodying the experience of each inhale and exhale, and sensing how it unfolds in the moment, exactly as it is.
