about merkaba

Our stories, when shared with openness, authenticity and grace, hold the power to heal not only ourselves but others. They remind us that we are deeply connected, woven into the same sacred fabric of existence.

For much of my life, I walked through the world carrying the silent weight of childhood trauma, guided by a will to survive. Behind the scenes of success, I battled the undercurrents of a dis-regulated nervous system, post-traumatic stress, and the false beliefs that had been passed down to me. I was caught in a cycle of survival, haunted by emotional pain and patterns that kept me tethered to my past and looping my future experiences.

There came a moment when I released the hope that someone would come to save me, realizing that I held the inner wisdom to be that “someone” for myself. It was in that surrender—when I stopped fighting the currents and allowed myself to float into the depths of my being—that I found the strength I had been searching for all along.

Through my own journey, I have come to understand that my trauma, though painful, has been my greatest teacher. It has led me to the deepest parts of my soul, where I began the sacred process of unbecoming who I thought I was. In the shedding of layers—releasing shame, guilt, and the heaviest frequencies of my humanness—I found the space for light to enter. As I let go, miracles and divine synchronicities began to guide me toward a higher purpose, one I could not have envisioned before.

Step by step, I returned home to my true self, reclaiming my voice, my power, and the magic that had been within me all along. The path wasn’t always easy, but it was woven with moments of deep healing and profound transformation. Each moment of surrender brought me closer to the woman I was always meant to be—free, aligned, and fully in my power.

It was through this sacred unfolding that I discovered my calling. Holistic healing, which had always been a passion, became the foundation of my purpose. I immersed myself in the world of holistic health, sampling many modalities, and with the guidance of wise practitioners, I came to see that healing was not something I needed to seek externally. It was something I could access from within.

With this newfound awareness, I felt called to create something larger than myself—a space where others could embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. And so, Merkaba Health Collective was born. Merkaba is a sanctuary, a place of activation, where you can gently return to the purest, most radiant version of your true self. It is a safe space to surrender, to release, and to embrace your natural truth—nurturing every aspect of your well-being, one loving choice at a time.

To my beloved Merkaba family, I see you. I feel you. I honor you. The answers you seek are already within you. When we’ve carried enough suffering, we are given the gift of choice—to turn inward, to feel our deepest shadows, and to allow the light to enter. It is through this inner alchemy that we reclaim our power, shifting not only ourselves but contributing to the healing of our world.

Merkaba Health Collective is more than a space for healing—it is a sacred movement, a foundation of transformation for ourselves, our children, and for generations to come. Merkaba has been a part of my own healing, and I lovingly welcome you to make it a part of yours.

In Peace & Love,
