In 2011, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. My doctors told me I'd be in a wheelchair by 2016. It's now 2026, 15 years later. I'm not.
No signs, no symptoms, no progression.
It was the hardest road of my life. It took more dedication than I ever thought I had. I was scared, but some kind of fire inside me knew I could heal.
I was right. Through mind, body, and spirit work, I found my way back to full health.
That experience changed how I understand healing, and eventually, my career path.
Early in my career, I focused on climbing the corporate ladder in fast-paced, publicly traded companies. But my health journey called me in another direction.
I'm currently the Executive Director of OK Clinical Therapy Group 🌿 , one of the largest group counselling practices in BC, and I love it. Every day I build a company focused on mental wellness, and I'm proud of the people it's helped.
But healing from an incurable disease didn't come from the mind alone. It came from tending to the body and spirit too, and I've felt pulled to bring that fuller integration into my work.
So I wrote a book. I trained as a yoga teacher, and in energy work. Far outside my previous path, but it's part of my plan to give back.
To give people hope when they've been told they can't heal. To share the knowledge I've gained. To one day offer practices that helped me heal as a whole, from the root.
That "one day" has come.
I'm nervous, excited, scared. All the things. But I'm doing it anyway.
My first Healing Outside the System class (named after my book) happens August 8th in Lake Country, BC at Invati Yoga + Wellness Okanagan
An evening of energy clearing, intention setting, restorative yoga, and Yoga Nidra for healing.
If you're local to Kelowna or Vernon, I'd love to have you join!
If not, I'm sharing this because it marks something bigger for me: a full integration of the paths I've spent my career on, and the start of something exciting.
There's no real healing without mind, body, and spirit together. I built a career around the first. Now I'm building something bigger around all three.
Sending you blessings, more to come. ♥️🙏
