Work History

Founder & Wellness Advocate

Into the Body
  • After ten years of lived experience with chronic mental illness, substance addiction, and homelessness, I founded Into the Body to bridge the gap between traditional healthcare and holistic, person-centered healing.
  • Grounded in my passion for holistic wellness and empowerment, Into the Body focuses on:
  • Centering individuals within their own lived experiences and treatment journeys
  • Promoting practices that integrate mind, body, and community healing
  • Redefining how we view and practice health — making space for everyone who needs it
  • Through this work, Into the Body aims to plant new seeds of understanding, compassion, and sustainable wellness in both personal and collective health spaces.
