My Story

I’ve always been drawn to one question: What makes us truly human? It’s a question that shaped my life—but not in ways I ever expected. My journey took a dramatic turn when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Suddenly, everything felt fragile: my vision, my mobility, even my sense of who I was. The doctors told me I could be blind, even paralyzed, by the time I was 35. And as I faced this, I realized I had a choice: let this diagnosis define me, or push through and build my own way forward.

The path wasn’t easy. First, I lost feeling in my left leg. Then, my right eye went completely dark. A spinal tap left me with blinding headaches—I had to crawl just to reach the bathroom. Every step was a test. Every moment, a choice. But something inside me refused to settle. If I was going to live, I wanted to fully live.

And I know I’m not alone. Many of the clients I work with don’t face a medical diagnosis, but they know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed—to wonder if it’s even worth pushing forward. Some have felt like giving up, ready to quit on their dreams or even on themselves. They needed someone who could see the possibility beyond the pain, someone who wouldn’t give up on them, someone who knew how to help them get through it. That’s what I needed, too. Back then, I longed for a mentor who would understand me, someone with the insight to save me years of trial and error, a sparring partner who would push me but also remind me: Everything is not lost. There is hope. You will get through this.

So I explored. I experimented. I tested every option I could find to reclaim my life. A high-dose vitamin D protocol. A radical shift to raw vegan eating. Daily yoga to realign my energy. Each day, I learned to work with my mind as much as my body. NLP techniques helped me break through fears I didn’t even know I had. Acting allowed me to reach emotions I’d been holding back. Each step was a piece of the puzzle, helping me find my way back to purpose.

Through these trials, I began to understand: real transformation isn’t about solving a single problem. It’s about rethinking what’s possible in every area of life. So, I decided to go deeper. I earned a PhD in Creativity to understand the science and soul of human potential. I developed a 360-degree approach to personal growth—one that blends mental resilience, emotional depth, and physical vitality. This approach doesn’t create just one breakthrough; it builds a life of lasting growth, clarity, and well-being.

But my work isn’t only about individual transformation; it’s about making a difference on a larger scale. The reason I help people overcome trauma, the reason I pursue acting in meaningful roles, is because I believe in addressing the deeper, karmic burdens we all carry as a society. By helping each individual heal and grow, I hope to contribute to a world that’s more aware, connected, and whole. Whether I’m reaching audiences through film, writing, or one-on-one coaching, my purpose remains the same: to help reduce the collective weight of our shared struggles and make the world a more compassionate, conscious place.

I work specifically with high achievers because they’ve already shown they can reach remarkable heights, yet they often carry a silent burden—unfulfilled potential or personal struggles that feel insurmountable. These are individuals with the power to influence others, and by helping them reach deeper clarity and resilience, I believe we can amplify that impact. It’s not just about their success; it’s about creating a ripple effect of positive change.

Today, I work with high achievers who have reached success on the outside but feel disconnected, burnt out, or unfulfilled within. I know that feeling—wondering, Is this all there is? Through my Beyond Creativity Masterclass, I help people push past limitations, rediscover purpose, and build a sense of wholeness so they can reconnect with their drive, reignite their energy, and approach life with renewed confidence.

With my experience in resilience, creativity, and well-being—a PhD in Creativity, certifications in NLP, and the tools that saved me—I’ve built a 360-degree approach that goes far beyond typical coaching, offering all-encompassing support that reaches every facet of your life—mental, emotional, and physical. Together, we create transformation that’s as sustainable as it is profound.

For those ready to explore what true, limitless growth looks like, let’s connect. This isn’t just another coaching program—it’s a partnership for those ready to go all in, fully commit, and make lasting changes. I’d be honored to help you create a life that’s not only full, but truly meaningful.

Let’s go beyond creativity together and, in the process, create a world that’s better for all of us.
