My Story

I'm a Certified Integrative Wellness Coach, but my path here wasn't linear. I spent years in New York's creative agency world—managing social strategy for big global brands like American Express, Verizon, and Diageo. The work was exciting and fast-paced. But even as I moved up, I felt a quiet knowing that I was meant to do something more meaningful.

In 2019, after the loss of my father, that quiet knowing became a loud call. I committed to living more fully, more truthfully—and to helping others do the same. That decision led me to train with the Integrative Wellness Academy, where I became a certified coach.

Over the past two decades, I've moved through my own cycles of grief, burnout, anxiety, and identity shifts. Therapy helped me understand the why—but I found that insight alone wasn't enough. I knew what the patterns were... but I still felt stuck inside them.

That realisation opened the door to something deeper—a passion for practices that don't just sound good, but actually create change. Embodied healing. Spiritual growth. Tools that work.

I've spent the past 10+ years learning, practicing, and living this work through books, courses, communities, and practices like:

  • Mindfulness & meditation (which first helped me manage depression, anxiety, and panic attacks)

  • Reiki energy healing (I'm a certified Level 2 practitioner)

  • Somatic, emotional, and spiritual integration practices that now shape my daily life

Through all of this, I've come to believe healing is not about fixing ourselves. It's about remembering who we are beneath the layers.

That's what inspired the creation of Bridged—a community focused on holistic wellness for Black and Brown women—and now &Alchemy, a space to support others through their own transitions, transformations, and returns to self.

About

& Alchemy

Alchemy: a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination

& Alchemy was created from a deep belief that true transformation happens when we work with the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

So often, what appears to be a challenge in one area of life is actually rooted in another. Yet many traditional coaching approaches miss this deeper connection. That’s where Integrative Wellness Coaching comes in.

Grounded in the understanding that everything is connected, Integrative Wellness Coaching blends traditional life coaching with a wide range of healing modalities—supporting mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

This holistic approach empowers you to uncover the root of what's holding you back and make meaningful, lasting changes across all areas of your life.

Because real change isn’t surface-level.

It’s alchemical..
