a LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

My Journey To Founding Soulful State: A Personal Quest For Healing, Connection, And Living Authentically.

The Journey of founding Soulful State began with a lifelong personal
quest for healing, connection and purpose.

I have been practicing Vipassana meditation since the age of 17, which has deeply shaped my understanding of mindfulness, self-awareness and emotional regulation. This early exposure to meditation laid the foundations for my passion in helping others reconnect to their inner selves and live more authentically.
My education background includes a Social Work degree and Psychology degree, both which have provided me with a strong foundation in mental health, human behaviour and trauma informed care.

In addition to my academic and professional training, I have pursued a variety of holistic healing modalities. I completed Spirit Breathwork training, and hold the USUI Reiki second degree certification, enabling me to offer both Breathwork and energy healing with a focus on balancing the body, mind, soul. I have also worked extensively with plant medicines such as Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Kamboo and Ceremonial Cacao, which have further deepened my understanding of spiritual healing and transformation.
I have expended my healing knowledge through additional personal development courses with Inna Segal’s including; Visionary Intuitive Healing level 1 course, Quantum Leap workshop, Shadow Workshop and Soul Workshop. These courses have given me profound insights into emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing, allowing me to guide others in their journey of self discovery and growth.

Through my personal and professional journey, Breathwork has particularly been transformative for me. It has connected me to my life purpose, enabling me to create Soulful State as a space where others can reconnect with their soul and live from a place of authenticity and wholeness.
