I began working in the wellness field and founded Beyond Vitality Wellness in 2011.

As I have evolved personally and professionally, so has Beyond Vitality, which has operated in countries including Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Canada, Costa Rica, and Mexico. My practice interweaves integrative and holistic wellbeing, mental health, and trauma to support clients in healing, restoring balance, and reclaiming vitality.
