Tell us about your journey to be a Soul Empowerment Coach.
My journey to becoming a Soul Empowerment Coach didn’t arrive courtesy of some enlightened whisper on a still mountaintop in the middle of nowhere where all you can hear is your own echo; where our spirit guides hand out life purpose like it’s some cosmic party favor—hell no. Trauma. It breaks us, or shakes us to awaken us. My origin story is considerably messier, considerably more “central heating on full blast in Dante’s Inferno,” if you will. I like to say I was walking through hell, and honestly? Hell had cranked up the HVAC. There I was sweating and trying to outrun my demons like Houdini on steroids, only making me run ragged with my own e-motions; we are energy in motion and thus we weave our energies into existence creating our reality.
I journeyed through childhood trauma, lost both my father at fourteen and stepfather at twenty-five. Then there was the relentless bullying that followed me from school hallways into adulthood and into the corporate world, like an uninvited dinner guest at the table. I rolled into the superficial make believe of that glitz and glamour in the modelling industry where I was assaulted, and yet as I walked through life, I potted it all up. Eventually that jar is going to pop….. For years, I performed a stunning impersonation of a functioning human being, walking around with a smile plastered on my face, while running on survival mode and destructive coping mechanisms that made me feel like I was slowly disappearing—which, honestly, felt preferable to actually feeling anything at all. Starving myself and working like a not so brainiac maniac were things I could control, and I was most excellent at it, although my body was cussing me out.
The plot twist nobody saw coming (except everyone who knows anything about healing) was that I finally hit a wall hard enough to realize I could either let the flames consume me while waddling around like a particularly oblivious duck, or I could turn around, look my pain square in the face, and discover what I now teach with fierce conviction: “Our deepest wounds, when fully embraced, become stepping stones to our greatest wisdom.” Healing, as it turns out, isn’t about performing emotional surgery to remove the past—it’s about integration, self-honesty, and the unglamorous work of sitting with your demons long enough to realize they just wanted to be heard. Now as a coach and light language healer, I don’t drop theories from some ivory tower of enlightenment; I walk beside you as someone who knows the landscape of despair intimately, holding a candle in your darkest hour and reminding you with absolute conviction: “Your hell is not your end—it’s your refiner’s fire.” God Source uses challenges as opportunities to bring out the worst in us, enabling us to heal, cleanse and transform, making us a wee bit lighter and brighter rather than remaining steeped in that heaviness of pain. In other words, it’s the welcoming uncomfortable but necessary makeover session, returning to the you in you. Because here’s the glorious truth I learned in those ashes: when you finally stop running and turn to face your pain with acceptance and love, that’s precisely where freedom begins, where the soul rises, unbroken, unshaken, and empowered; and life is all about taking back our I AM Power, empowering our soul to dance back to the grid of our unfurling selves through the potency of inner healing.
I guess I have learned to take life with a pinch of salt. I take each experience as it comes, embrace both the good and the bad, hug the inner child I once severely neglected, and remain humble enough to know that I am still learning, growing, and transforming every single day. It’s all about moving forward with more acceptance and grace.
It is Mental Health Month. How are you helping clients today?
In a world that often celebrates external achievements, we should remember that true success begins within, for “mental health is not a destination, but a process.” Our minds deserve the same nurturing attention we give to our bodies, as emotional wellbeing forms the foundation upon which we build our dreams, relationships, and lasting happiness. Prioritizing mental health is not selfish—it is essential. Love yourself and the world will love you as you dance in unison with the universe.
I am always passionate when it comes to mental health, as I see many people breaking down. I am honoured, humbled and privileged, supporting individuals on their journey toward wholeness and healing. As I often remind those I work with, “Everything else is just scenery; it’s just noise,” because the most significant journey we can ever undertake is the journey back to ourselves—a sacred pilgrimage inward where we reclaim our power and embrace our true essence. People ask me, “What is my true essence?” Discovering your true essence means stripping back the layers of ego and societal masks that cloud your inner light and just being true to yourself. My areas of expertise lie not in providing answers or fixing broken pieces, but in serving as a humble catalyst and conduit, a trusted tool in the toolbox that helps unlock the remarkable healing potential already residing within each individual. Through transformative practices including light language, vibrational healing, and other holistic modalities, I offer a gateway to awakening dormant energies and consciousness that have long been waiting to emerge from within the shadows of our conditioning and pain.
As Bernard Shaw so eloquently expressed, “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will,” and I am honored to guide individuals as they harness this creative power of imagination and intention to manifest lives filled with joy, purpose, freedom, and authentic self-expression. Every experience, whether joyful or painful, becomes a stepping stone on the path to greater heights when we choose to see our wounds not as permanent scars but as sacred teachers offering wisdom and transformation. As Louise Hay wisely taught, “Love yourself and you can heal your life.” The luminous transformation of transforlumination occurs when light permeates the gridlocked mind, freeing us from the blocks and victim mentalities that have held us captive, allowing us to emerge as more wholesome, authentic versions of ourselves—beacons of light radiating love and positivity into a world that so desperately needs healing. By embracing energy healing modalities and taking accountability for our lives, we reclaim our I AM power to transmute our darkest moments into aha wisdom moments, raising our vibrational frequency until we are living in full alignment with our highest potential and truest essence. Together, we co-create a world filled with love, light, and freedom, where every individual can walk their path with courage and conviction, knowing that the journey home to oneself is not only possible but is indeed the greatest adventure life has to offer.
As a Thought Leader in the Mental Health Space, what are the challenges clients are facing today and the solutions?
Over a billion people worldwide live with mental health conditions, yet the conversation around mental wellness has never been more important. I witness the profound struggles clients face—the quiet desperation, the persistent anxiety, and the feeling of being trapped in a system designed to keep us running on a hamster wheel of obligations.
The truth is many of us wake up each morning to jobs that pay the bills but drain our souls. Our wages have become the drug our employers dispense to keep us tethered to a cycle of survival rather than thriving. We return month after month, not because we love what we do, but because we must. The dreams we once held close have been relegated to “someday” territory, buried beneath rent calculations and debt statements.
For small business owners, this tension intensifies exponentially. I hear from clients who lie awake at night, their minds spiralling through scenarios of economic collapse, recession fears, and operational uncertainties. The weight of responsibility—not just for themselves, but for employees who depend on them—creates a particular breed of anxiety that threatens to overwhelm. When your business IS your life, every economic headline feels personal.
Yet here is the truth we should embrace: we are not victims of circumstance. We are manifestors, creators, architects of our reality weaving our energies into the fabric of our lives. The moment we recognize that we have been shaping our world—often unconsciously—is the moment we take back our power. It’s like that lightbulb switch moment, when we understand that we create our realities.
The solution begins with a shift in perspective—change your thinking, change your life. We have spent too long living from the outside in, allowing external circumstances to dictate our internal state. Instead, we must live from the inside out. As the ancient wisdom reminds us, “As within, so without.” When we transform our inner landscape, our outer world reflects that transformation. What we vibe out is what we reel back in.
Practical strategies definitely help with the necessary inner work. You have to do what feels right for you and aligns with your spirit.
Physical activity stands as one of nature’s most potent antidepressants—a simple thirty-minute walk can shift neurotransmitter levels and dissolve the fog of anxiety. Nourishing our bodies with nutritious meals, staying hydrated, and prioritizing sleep creates the foundation upon which mental resilience builds. Mindfulness practices—whether formal meditation or simply conscious breathing during stressful moments—train our nervous systems to respond rather than react. We learn that we can observe our thoughts without being consumed by them, creating space between stimulus and response where choice resides. Listen to guided meditations on YouTube by Davidji or Joe Dispenza, as both will help to calm your thoughts.
Life is all about balance, although mea culpa, I too work too many hours in the corporate world, because companies are cutting budgets and the work gets divvied up amongst the relevant directorates. Meditation is my space to breathe.
For those feeling trapped in jobs that feel like captivity, I can only say this: your current position can be a stepping stone, not a sentence. The Yellow Brick Road toward your dreams is constructed one deliberate brick at a time. You attract what you vibrate—so change your energetic resonance, shift your consciousness by healing the unhealed, which can often be triggers too, and watch your reality shift with you.
Remember this: if you were removed from your role tomorrow, the organization would continue. But you are irreplaceable in the story of your own life. Regardless of what you may be going through, you deserve a better life, and you do not have to accept less. Self-care is not selfish—it is the foundation from which we can finally show up fully, for ourselves and for those who need us. Remember, always be you, not who the world wants you to be.
Tell us about your award-winning book, “Child of the Sun: Enroute to Enlightenment in India
“Child of the Sun: Enroute to Enlightenment in India” is more than a memoir—it is a sacred invitation to remember who you truly are. This award-winning book details my deeply personal journey from spiritual dishevelment and emotional bankruptcy to a more radiant wholesome version of myself, a transformation that began in the unexpected sanctuary of India’s Art of Living Centre under the guidance of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. For years, I carried wounds that no scan could reveal, the legacy of childhood trauma and toxic relationships that left me grasping for self-worth while masking my suffering behind a practiced smile, acid reflux, constant headache and neck aches and a need to disappear into oblivion. Anxiety was my constant companion, burnout my natural state, and I had mistaken dependency for love and neediness for intimacy—until my Guides gently asked the question that would change everything: “You’re loving everyone else… but who’s loving you?” Hell, I couldn’t even look in the mirror and tell myself I loved myself as I hated myself. Through mantras, breathwork, and meditation, I discovered that pain is not punishment but initiation, that relationships should share our fullness rather than fill our emptiness, and that the alchemy of true healing lies in turning inward rather than seeking validation outside ourselves. Drawing wisdom from Divine Masters who walked beside me—Krishna, who whispered “You are not fallen, you are unfolding,” Archangel Michael, who taught me that courage is love in motion, and St. Germain, who showed me that even our darkest pain can be transmuted into light—this book offers itself as a mirror for your own struggles, a breath of sanity in a chaotic unravelling world, and a way home to the sun that has always lived within you.
As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar teaches, “The mind is the source of all suffering and all joy,” and within these pages, you will learn to alchemize your own suffering into power, embracing the truth that enlightenment is not some distant peak but the quiet courage to say “I choose me.” If you are exhausted, burnt out, or trapped in the endless loop of wondering why things keep happening to you rather than for you, know that your past is not your prison—this book is your companion on the road to freedom, written in the language of truth and grace. We are all Children of the Sun, born of light and destined to shine, and the question now is simply this: Are you ready to remember?
When it comes to mental health, what is your advice?
When it comes to mental health, my advice is to recognize that your mind is the canvas upon which your entire reality is painted, and understanding this truth empowers you to become the artist of your own experience rather than a passive observer trapped within the chains of limited beliefs and fearful thinking. You are either the painter or the paint, what will it be?
The Universe itself is mental in nature, and so are you, which means everything you create emanates from the mental imagery that flows through your consciousness day after day—if you do not like the reality you are experiencing, change your mentality, for your mind is like an endless film reel that produces outcomes based on the quality of input you allow to take root within you.
In the journey toward mental wellness, I encourage you to remember that small, consistent actions have the ability to create profound transformation. Prioritize restful sleep to restore your emotional balance, move your body daily to release tension, and cultivate mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present moment. Equally important is nurturing meaningful connections while setting boundaries that protect your peace, practicing self-compassion instead of harsh self-judgment, and finding gratitude in life’s simple things.
Meditation has been my steadfast companion on this journey, and as my Guides have taught me, it is prayer in motion, a sacred practice of breathing in light while exhaling the negativity that accumulates in our minds and bodies getting rooted into our soullular memory, allowing our scattered thoughts to dance back into alignment with the sacred geometrical grid of our enlightened selves. It’s about creating space for stillness, for how can the mind ever be at one with the self when the self has not made peace with the mind? Through consistent meditation practice, we learn to calm the ceaseless chatter of our thoughts and arrive at a place of presence where we can respond to life’s inevitable challenges with clarity and wisdom rather than reacting from the reactive states of stress and fear. Remember that FEAR is simply “false evidence appearing real,” a construct we have created within our own minds that functions as an invisible barrier, a smooth criminal that keeps us imprisoned within our limited perceptions of what is possible for ourselves. I speak from lived experience when I say that everything we do carries purpose, and when we flip the switch on our mindset to see the positive hidden within even the most challenging circumstances, we transform suffering into a powerful teacher rather than a permanent state of despair. There was a time when I hated myself and engaged in self-destructive behaviors, but when my body forced me to confront the imbalance within by literally refusing to sustain itself, I discovered the profound truth that Louise Hay articulated so beautifully: when we understand our physical pain, we begin to understand the underlying emotional wounds that manifest in our bodies. Mindful eating and nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods stabilizes our moods, sharpens our minds, and elevates our consciousness, allowing our dimmed inner light to shine once more with renewed brilliance. Regular physical movement releases those beautiful endorphins that lift our spirits and support brain health, reminding us that our bodies and minds are inextricably connected in the dance of wellness. Regardless of how bleak life may appear at any given moment, challenges are not punishments but rather stepping stones toward deeper understanding and self-mastery. “Carpe diem”—seize the day—because we so often get bogged down in fear, living like mortified zombies afraid of our own shadows while our beautiful state of consciousness lies dormant and forgotten. This very journey of confronting our darkness offers an invitation for profound growth and renewal, and by practicing mindfulness, self-compassion, and forgiveness, by creating sacred space for reflection and genuinely reconnecting with our inner authentic selves, it becomes possible to emerge from what feels like an endless night, resurfacing with wisdom, resilience, and crystalline clarity that we never knew we possessed.
Our experiences are not meant to taunt us; they are meant to teach us, to provide us with greater understanding of our lives and our true identities. Rather than asking “why is this happening to me,” we must learn to ask “why is this happening for me, and what can I do to grow through this painful experience?” Taking responsibility for our lives is perhaps the most radical act of self-love we can commit—because after all, are we not the captains of our own ships, the sole pilots navigating the vast seas of our existence? We must remember that being alive is not the same as truly living; too many of us are being lived rather than actively choosing the direction of our journeys. As I have walked my own path and had to figure things out through trial and error, I have learned to live according to my inner compass north, following my intuition with unwavering trust, and I encourage you to begin listening to that same guidance within yourself and to finally do what makes your soul come alive.
It doesn’t matter how old you are, as age is just a number, but with conscious effort, and by becoming aware of every thought and action, and with a commitment to personal growth and development, we have the ability to transform, paving the way for an inspiring new chapter defined by purpose, joy, and a zest for life.
Live your life, or life will live it for you without your input or consent. Live your dreams, or they will remain beautiful but unrealized fantasies floating in the theatre of your mind while you continue to plow away like a sloth caught in the matrix of an existence you never consciously chose.
Tell us about your upcoming projects.
My upcoming projects are really just extensions of the messy, sacred unravelling I’ve been living lately, although as someone mused, your life is quite literally much like Bridget Jones Diaries, as am accident prone. It’s the Universe telling me to slow down. I’m like what? Nope, I just keep going. There is however a version of me who still remembers what it felt like to lie on the cold floor in the middle of the night, screaming at spirit and the universe, wondering if survival was really the life I wanted. That version of me had forgotten something essential—not how to be whole, but that she ever was.
Divine Rebirth dropped back in January 2026 and somehow became an international bestseller, which still kind of blows my mind. My chapter in that collaborative work with other inspirational women was essentially me rising from the ashes like a phoenix being reborn yet again—writing about those nights I lay on the floor hollowed out by gaslighting and those mornings I woke up not wanting to die until one plant medicine ceremony after another showed me another way, from ayahuasca’s deep healing work to psilocybin’s gentle illumination to that San Pedro cactus that seemed to whisper directly into my veins: “You were never broken. You were just asleep,” and that’s when I understood that healing isn’t fixing—it’s remembering who you were before the world handed you its endless list of not enoughs and teaching you to recognize that person still lives within you, waiting to be rediscovered and embraced.
Miracles Are Normal, released at the end of March 2026, also became an international bestseller, was born from this knowing—that a stranger’s kindness arriving exactly when your heart is shattering isn’t coincidence, it’s a divine wink; that a song on the radio speaking directly to your soul is the universe whispering “I see you, you are not alone”; that sudden inexplicable knowing that changes your entire course are constant reminders that we are swimming in a sea of support, we rarely acknowledge.
I’m currently rewriting the book of my life—literally—because BE-coming Authentically Me is being reborn, refined, and re-released at the end of this year, transformed from just a memoir into a map for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror wondering who the hell they are.
This conversation with the unseen forms the foundation of my next collaboration work, Evolving on Purpose: Angels, Spirit Guides & The Frequency of Miracles, coming later in 2026, written for those who’ve felt the comforting hand on their shoulder when no one was there, who’ve heard whispers in the stillness, because my own awakening—guided by what I can only describe as Star Beings, Ascended Masters, and a chorus of angelic guides—has taught me that the night sky above our homes isn’t empty, it’s filled with cosmic traffic, and shooting stars aren’t just random bits of rock burning up, they’re constant reminders of transformation available to us all, and if you think we’re the only intelligent species in this vast cosmos, well… nope, there are more conscious beings in existence than there are hairs on your head, and this isn’t woo-woo, this is waking up, because trauma may have cracked me open but it also left gaps where the light got in.
In my third solo book on the art of manifestation from the sacred space of the heart—how to use everything, especially the trauma, not to become perfect but to become whole, because trauma doesn’t make you broken, it gives you the opportunity to look in the mirror, embrace yourself and heal, and from that courage we build entirely new realities. Right now that’s exactly what I’m building one word at a time, one article at a time, one project at a time, and what comes next is really whatever you have the courage to imagine and the tenacity to build from the ashes of what you bravely chose to burn, stepping into the miraculous unknown guided by the stars above so within; for let’s be real, we are all luminous stardust particles encapsulated into this organic earthly body suit experiencing life on this beautiful blue planet; make it worthwhile.
Divine Rebirth, now an international bestseller, carries that version forward into the light. My chapter screamed from the page like a phoenix finally refusing to stay buried. It was messy. It was sacred. It was the exorcism I needed to unbecome to become and keep peeling back those layers of conditioning.
Healing, I’ve learned, isn’t about fixing what was broken. It’s about remembering who you were before the world handed you its long list of not enoughs. Sometimes that remembering comes through the sacred medicine of plant teachers—ayahuasca showing you the depths, psilocybin lighting up the path home, San Pedro whispering directly into your blood: you were never broken. You were just asleep.
That wake-up call became another best seller in Miracles Are Normal, published at the end of March 2026. It was born from the knowing that coincidences don’t exist—that stranger who appears just when your heart is shattering, that song on the radio that speaks directly to your soul, that sudden inexplicable knowing that changes everything. These are not accidents. They are cosmic winks. The universe whispering, “I see you. You are not alone.”
Right now, I’m rewriting the book of my life—literally. BE-com-ing Authentically Me is being reborn, refined, and released much later this year. This isn’t the same book that existed before. It has transformed into something more than a memoir. It is a map. For anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and asked, “Wait… who the hell am I now?” This is for you. For me. For everyone ready to stop performing and start becoming.
This conversation with the unseen—the comforting hand on your shoulder when no one is there, the whisper in the stillness—forms the foundation of Evolving on Purpose: Angels, Spirit Guides & The Frequency of Miracle, coming later in 2026. My own awakening, guided by what I can only describe as Star Beings and Ascended Masters and a chorus of angelic guides, has taught me that the night sky above our homes is not empty. It is filled with cosmic traffic. Shooting stars are not random bits of rock burning up. They are constant reminders that transformation is natural, that we are never alone in our becoming.
If you believe we are the only intelligent species in this vast cosmos, well… I invite you to think again. There are more conscious beings in existence than there are hairs on your head. This isn’t woo-woo. This is waking up. Trauma cracked me open, and through those cracks, the light poured in.
And so I write. My third solo book is taking shape—this one on the art of manifestation from the sacred space of the heart. It’s about using everything, especially the trauma, not to become perfect, but to become whole. Because trauma doesn’t make you broken. It makes you brave when you decide to confront the darkness. And from that courage, we build entirely new realities.
What comes next is whatever you have the courage to imagine and the tenacity to build from the ashes of what you bravely chose to burn. We are free. Run free. Live your life with consciousness and awareness. Step into the miraculous unknown, guided by the stars as above, so within.
