Some moments in life don\u2019t ask you to slow down, they require it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, that moment came through my health. After beginning a new treatment in early 2026, I was forced to take a step back from a lifestyle that, for a long time, I believed I could sustain. In that pause, I had to take an honest look at how I was living, how much stress I was carrying, and what truly needed to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most impactful things my oncologist told me was simple. Prioritize laughter. Reduce the stress you\u2019re carrying. That stayed with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve spent 24 years in spaces dedicated to helping people feel better. I hold a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Metropolitan State University of Denver, with a focus in addiction studies. I\u2019ve walked alongside people as a peer coach and mentor, supported individuals through a supportive housing program as a program manager, and led and grew successful salon businesses rooted in connection and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for 14 years, I\u2019ve been in recovery. That journey has shaped how I see people, how I show up, and how deeply I believe in the power of slowing down and reconnecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agape Healing Arts has been something I\u2019ve dreamed about for many years. There was always a reason to wait. Timing, responsibility, life. But in that forced pause, I realized waiting was no longer an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agape was created as a space for real support. A place where nervous system care, grounding practices, non-traditional approaches to nutrition, peptide wellness, reiki, and simple reflexology come together to help people find balance in a way that actually fits their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At its core, this work is about connection. Connection back to yourself, your body, your energy, and your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re here, I hope this becomes a space where you feel supported, where you can slow down, and where you can begin to return to yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
