Learn more about the WHY in my story

I was born in the beautiful Island of Jamaica and was raised by my late grandma (Mama) with support of my mom and my amazing aunts, especially Aunt Cinth, who is one of my greatest inspiration. Mama was MAGIC, a powerful force of unconditional love and kindness. I learned everything about loving kindness from her. She was a stellar role model of generosity, compassion, and empathy.

My favorite human of all time! In her presence, especially her on verandah - is where I discovered bliss! My heart was engulfed with pain and shattered into a million pieces when we lost her on October 21, 2019.

My grief was as big as the love in my heart for her. It took tremendous resilience, love and support of family members, friends and colleagues to heal the pain to a place where I could move forward. Soon after my heart began healing from the painful loss of Mama, my mom suffered a stroke, and we lost her too, on January 25, 2021. The pain and grief doubled this time. It was hard.

My heart shattered again. I took the time to grieve and nurture my heart back to joyfulness and peace. Again, through consistent self-care and the loving support of friends and family, I was able to move forward. Naturally, the pain still resurfaces from time to time, and I embrace it whenever it does, but I always choose not to dwell in it for too long. I hang out with the painful emotions for a bit and then lean into my 4 M's (Motivation, Mindfulness, Movement & Memories) to ground myself and move forward in a positive way.

I am beyond grateful for the gift of resilience, strength, and the loving support of so many. I can honestly say that I choose to be the creator of my own energy. Despite the many obstacles that life has thrown my way, I enjoy a very humble and vital life with my husband and three beautiful children that I love with all my heart. I love music, dancing, writing, reading singing, cooking, socializing/learning new cultures and inspiring through lived experiences and deep connections.

I have a meaningful and impactful career in HR, and I love it because it allows me to use my passion for creating positive experiences in the lives of others; however, I have a deep desire to do more. As a result, I made the decision to add wellness coaching to my journey, as a way to fulfill a promise to Mama. I promised to carry on her legacy of living a life of service to others through positive energy and a love of humanity.

Her Veranda was my first school of love and kindness, and it was there that I learned the power of love, faith, self-awareness, honesty, and to trust in my own intuition. I am beyond excited and delighted to share my gift of light to help make lives better on a deep level that will be fulfilling and rewarding to all my clients.

Forever grateful for your love Mama. Your spirit makes my spirit happy!
