Raised in San Francisco, I understand how challenging it can be to take a moment to slow down, breathe, and truly enjoy life. For much of my life, I’ve lived with chronic pain due to scoliosis, a condition involving a curvature of the spine. At the age of 10, doctors told my mother that without treatment, I might lose the ability to walk by the time I turned 24. I’ll never forget the shock and fear I saw in my mother’s eyes that day.

Determined to help, my mother took immediate action, scheduling regular appointments with an acupuncturist and massage therapist—an investment that played a pivotal role in my healing journey. Thanks to a combination of consistent self-care, exercise, massage therapy, and acupuncture, I live pain-free today.

I’m deeply grateful for the kindness and healing I received, and it’s now my mission to pay it forward. I’m passionate about helping others find relief from chronic pain and stress through the same holistic practices that transformed my life.
