My Mission: Journe
Find the courage to take control of your life!
​
For 10 years I worked in the social work field. Helping people heal has always been my passion. I know my life’s purpose is to hold space for those who desire to heal, want more for themselves and to be light in a space of uncertainty and darkness. On February 23, 2021 I embarked on a new journey. I stepped out on faith and trusted my intuition. I faced my fears and let go of what no longer serves me. I left my job of 7 years and decided to unlock a new version of myself. Being in quarantine gave me the space to think, use my talents and be creative. It allowed me figure out what makes me happy and what I bring to the world. Now walking in my truth and being my authentic self, I created something special...JOURNE.
