As a child, I always knew that I had a purpose to inspire others and do something different with my path. In many ways, I feel that I was always connected to the divine but that I repressed the connection due to upbringing, institutions, and my own limiting beliefs. When I was 12 years old, I had a wonderful therapist that inspired me to do the work that she did and assist people through their hardships. 

In 2016, I rediscovered and solidified my connection with spirituality after it was reintroduced to me through a relationship. During this time, I became fascinated with meditation, astrology, crystals, and my self-healing. This was around the time I first learned of Reiki, but did not fully understand it until my 1st attunement in early 2018. I also was attending Northeastern University for my Bachelor’s in Social Work, with a focus on therapy which was my passion and long-term goal. 

I achieved this goal and went on to obtain my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Dominican University in Spring 2021. After spending some time in the field, I realized I still wanted to help people overcome their hardships through alternative forms of healing. I wanted to work with people in a way that aligned more with my spirituality which became my main source of strength. I went on in attaining my education and certification as a Reiki Level 2 practitioner in Summer 2022. My training and certification specialized in Usui Reiki.

While I followed Tarot for years on YouTube, my journey with Tarot officially began when I received my 1st deck as a birthday gift. I took the time to research each card in detail followed by doing readings on myself, and daily card pulls. I then went on to do readings for family and friends. In my time doing tarot I learned to incorporate Reiki to activate attunement and awareness to connect more deeply with the cards.

I was born and raised in the Chicago land area. On my maternal side, I am 1st generation Mexican American with roots to Mexico’s Central Valley and Aztec ancestry. From my paternal side, I am African American with familial roots to The American South and West Africa. My maternal great-great grandfather was also a medicine man, and a medium.
