My Journey:

I grew up in poverty, in an abusive and violent home, with parents who had mental illnesses and substance abuse issues. As a result, I struggled with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. As a teenager and young adult, I came face to face with death, which emphasized the fragility of life and the importance of living my life with meaning. This led to my life's purpose and what I felt at a young age: to bring love, light and hope to others. I became a teacher and worked with children in the school system and childcare systems for many years, until I started my business Energize and Rise LLC. I also felt led to learn more about trauma and healing and joined the Healer program at the Ascension Healing Arts Center in Detroit, Michigan (United States) where I was certified in trauma healing. I then, recently, (May, 2025) became certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the American College of Hypnotherapy.

Now, self-employed, I work with adults and teenagers, providing hypnotherapy and support, as an educator, trauma healer, and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I bring encouragement and knowledge about teenager's development, along with practical tools and methods that they can use in their everyday lives to manage their emotions, feelings, and energy. Many teenagers are struggling with school, confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, anger, motivation, or depression. They need to be supported and empowered to rise above the obstacles in their lives, to remove blocks to unlimited potential, become resilient and increase their endurance. If your teenager is not interested in hypnotherapy, the consultation can be provided with guidance and support only.

Many adults are also struggling with their mental health, daily stressors or behaviors that they would like to change, and I provide clinical hypnotherapy for them also. Changing our behavior is usually affected by our subconscious beliefs, learning, and attitudes. This is where hypnotherapy can help. Our subconscious records everything that has happened to us in our lives, and we often respond to situations in ways that we don't understand. During hypnotherapy you will not be "asleep" as is commonly believed; instead, your attention and focus will be increased with the outside world fading away to make significant changes in your subconscious and empower you to make positive changes in your life that you decide upon.

My services are judgement free based on love. Our hearts are powerful and lives can be transformed! If you are unsure if our services are the right fit for you and your family, please book a free 15 minute clarity call!
