2022 — Now
I help people heal, grow, and lead from a place of grounded wholeness.
As a breathwork facilitator and sound healer, I blend somatic practices namely, Rebirthing breathwork, sound healing, and cacao ceremonies with conscious inquiry tools including coaching, art therapy, and guided meditation. This balance supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep self-awareness, creating change from the inside out.
My approach is rooted in lived experience navigating burnout, disconnection, and the shedding of old identities and supported by professional training, including:
• Rebirthing Breathwork Practitioner Certification
• Multi-Instrumental Sound Journey Practitioner Certification
• Intuitive art therapy mod 1 and 2
Through Inner Light Awakening, I’ve guided clients across Bali, Singapore, Australia, and the U.S., holding safe, compassionate space for transformation and conscious leadership.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom and create lasting change, let’s connect.
