Ever since I was a young girl, I felt called to become a professional healer. However, the realities of supporting and raising a family as a single parent meant that I had to take a detour from the professional healing path. So I decided to channel these energies into a suitable career in business. I spent many rewarding years leading Human Resources for companies in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other industries before starting my wellness business in 2018.

When not focusing on my work, I love to connect with family and friends, cook and travel, especially to places with a rich history, here and abroad. I believe that we are all mirrors of each other and that with each encounter I have the opportunity to learn more about myself, which makes me a better hypnotherapist.
