(one day at a time.)
Here is a little bit about my story:
It was fun, until it wasn’t.
I used to crave oblivion, love chaos, and act out violently.
I used to believe I was sane— when I was drinking alcohol until I resembled a chicken with its head cut off.
Denial is wonderful! A parasitic mind, live in action!
My first half marathon, I registered for when I was drunk.
Seemed like a brilliant idea.
Something to hold me accountable.
Never worked. But would still run. Always running away, never going inside.
Once that first sip goes in, relief, escape, blissed out blackness.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Repetition, repetition, repetition.
In the worst way possible.
I was deep in the self-sabotage wearing blender.
I never dreamed.
But towards the end of this nightmare, I started to dreaming I was falling.
Because I was,

out of control.
The law of facilitation states that when an impulse passes through a given set of neurons to the exclusion of others, it will tend to do so again, and each time it traverses this path, the resistance will be smaller.
A.k.a. it’s easier to keep the bad habits. Go ahead, have another drink.
Same action = same result
Here’s where things shifted for me:
Different action = different result
July 6th, 2019, I had enough.
The morning after my last drunk
I texted an angel.
An ex-Victoria Secret Angel.
Thank you, universe, for brining her to me!
Timing… is everything.
Of course, she answered me, guiding me to the support that I needed.
I felt awful, I felt raw, I felt like my life was over.
However, I surrendered and now can say my life was just beginning!
This is why I am doing what I’m doing now:
I quit my soul-sucking job.
From fashion to fitness.
I always loved health and fitness.
Going to the gym was always my favorite even when I was a “sick healthy person” - (Paul Chek)
It was a part of my life growing up.
I remember my dad teaching me leg raises as a kid and saying,
“If you don’t have your health, you don’t have shit.”
So…I studied for my personal training certification at The National Academy for Sports Medicine (NASM.)
I passed the test.
I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
My mind has been blown with information. I am a health coach.
I worked with the owner of bodyART, a physical therapy based workout.
I am a bodyART teacher.
I discovered Paul Chek and started studying at the C.H.E.K Institute.
I am a C.H.E.K Practitioner (level 1)
And I am hungry for more!
I am thinking, breathing, drinking, eating, moving, sleeping, loving…
And having fun sharing the secrets of the universe.
Connecting with all the components that create life.
It all starts with ONE LOVE
Your dream is your roadmap,
And it can be heaven on earth.

To guide you on your own unique healing journey,
And to live your dreams.
