Since I was a small child, I struggled with insomnia. I spent my 20’s and thirties trying to fit into a broken world. I found I held anger and resentment, and had trouble setting healthy boundaries. I worked too much, worked out too much, and enjoyed eating, drinking, shopping, and partying. As Viktor Frankel stated, “When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.”

I’ve always been drawn to the mysterious and the hidden, innately knowing there was something more. As the modern sciences of quantum physics, neuroplasticity and epigenetics have been proving what ancient wisdom traditions have accepted as fact, I began putting my studies of ancient philosophers and mystics to work to bust out of the established norms and blaze a new path forward. I have cleared past trauma and karma from my body, mind, and spirit.

In my early years, I studied the human condition as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant, bartender, croupier, and salesperson. Most recently, I have worked in Behavioral Health and Executive Leadership Development. Still, I found they both followed the path of Western medicine: treat the symptoms while ignoring the root cause. So, I left to study at the Chopra Institute.

I’ve been broke, I’ve been rich, I’ve been a socialite and a recluse. Now, I am profoundly content. I’m healthier as a 49-year-old yogi than I was as a ripped 25-year-old gym rat. I live very simply on a quiet Florida beach, enjoying all that nature offers. I exist in a state of joy, making my own rules as I go, and I love and honor my past. I don’t regret a thing! It was all necessary to be here now.
