About Me.

To overcome a disability occurring in 1999 that severely damaged my spinal cord, I began to build a stronger relationship with God. Although I was bound to a wheelchair, this relationship did not bind me to depression and anger and gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. 

​

In turn, I became encouraged to attain medical and spiritual knowledge on assisting others to make this same triumph. Throughout my years of practice and providing testimony, I have been able to touch many and be changed the same through each experience. I not only aim to help people put their pieces together, but look to be touched as well by their stories and refine my own pieces as well.

​

Faith building exercises such as gratitude, encouragement, self love, and confidence building are rooted in my practice for a happier and healthier you. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, and discussing my concerns with God fearing counselors.   

​

The main verses that have helped me are: 

Matthew 11:28-30 King James Version (KJV)

​

"28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and

ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
