NEW CHOICE HEALING
How did I get to where I am now?
Growing up without a family's support, I spent the first 14 years of my life in and out of the foster care system. This gave me the opportunity to learn how to survive (and even thrive!) through my own personal means. It was not always the easiest journey, however, it taught me that we are all capable of extraordinary things. I have gained an appreciation for both small and large victories. I am living proof that anyone has the ability to achieve their dreams. I now find myself in a position to give back and assist others in being able to be their best self too!
Caring and loving for those around me is an integral part of my very essence. No matter my circumstances, I have always found myself doing what I could to help those around me. Now I belong to families of choice, and am currently living my dream. My determination and drive to fully experience the joys of life have propelled me along my current path to bring inspiration and healing to all who desire it. Through all of the experiences in my life, I found that we are our own best healers. The choice resides within us to become whatsoever we choose. I am profoundly happy that I now have the skills to reach out to those who want to make a change in their own lives.

Get to know me!
I love the adventure of life. From snowboarding and riding my motorcycle, to hikes and hanging out with my friends, I find myself appreciating and fully enjoying every moment! There's nothing like exploring new places, trying new foods, and making new connections. I'd love to go Ireland some day and explore my Celtic ancestry and what that beautiful land has to offer. I live in confidence that I will be able to do it. I desire to see all of the splendors of this world from the Tibetan Heights, to as deep as you can scuba dive. I'm looking forward to experiencing the world and getting a better understanding of the cultures I come across in my travels.

When I'm at home, I enjoy gaming, watching movies, and listening to music. Both table top and video games are an amazing way for me to connect with others. I like adventuring through what other minds have created. I marvel year after year at the work done to enhance the virtual experience and the new innovations that keep coming to traditional table top gaming. I love a good movie where I can feel the intended emotions through the actors. There's nothing like a good story that makes you think. I love to sing and dance along to music because it makes me feel alive! One of my favorite genres is EDM (Electronic Dance Music), and I would like to attend as many musical festivals as I can.
