My Journey

A brief glimpse into my meditation journey.

My journey toward health through meditation began with challenging experiences that shaped my identity. Despite numerous medical interventions and surgeries since childhood, my health continued to worsen due to achalasia (autoimmune disorder that paralyses the esophagus making it painful and often impossible to eat or drink, leaving debilitating pains, acid reflux and esophageal damage). A car accident in 2011 further complicated my condition, prompting a need for neck surgery. Overwhelmed by the physical and emotional toll and opting to avoid surgery, I turned to meditation, discovering its power to heal the mind and body.

Since then, I have traveled extensively, training in yoga and meditation in India, and learning from various teachers from around the world. Meditation has become my sanctuary, helping me heal my body, release fears, manage stress, and pursue my dreams.

Today, I am free from debilitating pains and excessive stress, enjoying restful sleep (90 average sleep score on my Oura ring, IYKYK lol) and living my dream in Costa Rica, where opportunities flow to me with ease. I am no longer the victim of my life and am joyful and unafraid, living life to the fullest and that’s what I want for you too!

This is why I created Golden Wellness, a platform that started with pain but has turned into a story of hope, healing and complete life transformation. I want to help others find their own paths to wellness, abundance and happiness.

Let’s all embrace life, heal together and celebrate every win! Thanks for letting me share my story.
