Born and raised in Harlem, NYC with ancestral roots in Cote d’Ivoire, Africa, the past 20 years of my life have been nothing short of educational, medicinal, eye-opening, and intense. The gifts I have been given ancestrally and spiritually have initiated me deeply into the hidden, and gravely impactful effects behind the foundation of a home built on dysfunctional relationship and broken-family dynamics, and how this can greatly affect the health of the body-mind-soul connection of human development and evolution.

I’ve grown up immersing myself in many activities that have led to this defining moment. I have spent 13 years as a professionally trained dancer with Alvin Ailey Dance School. I was engaged as an athlete in basketball, gymnastics and soccer. And I spent 7 years as a fitness enthusiast and instructor of Pilates, Dance, and Yoga in NYC, LA, and Hawaii. The central aspect of my practice is Astrology. The 13 years I’ve spent in self-study allowed me to recognize that it offers unique insight into the human condition in a way that psychotherapy alone cannot. To that end, I am currently on track to become a Certified Astrologer with Debra Silverman Applied Astrology (DSA) that combines Psychotherapy and Astrology. I will also be incorporating this certification with my Somatic Education studies at the Somatic Institute for Women, as well as the Massage Therapy and Feng Shui certifications I am obtaining coupled with the knowledge taught by my mentor of 3 years who is a natural Thai healer with more than 40 years of applied knowledge.

My personal journey, felt-experience, and medicinal gift of transforming emotional, relational, and environmental pain into power and purpose have allowed me to deeply commit to the health and wellness of one of the most important pieces of our society today: Relationships (of all kinds) and The Family Unit. I have come to believe that the unification of the home within and the home without allows us not only to do right by ourselves, but to then carry that unity into everything that we do, and every interaction we choose to participate in.

I believe in healing dysfunction, disconnection, and disempowerment at the root. When we can marry self awareness, self-actualization, proper integration and intentionality, we provide healthy spaces for our children and ourselves to grow in harmony, balance, and compassion for ourselves, and our environment.
