About the Owner

---

In 2017, I began my professional journey in physical therapy, eager to make a positive impact on people's lives. It didn't take long for me to recognize some troubling patterns within the traditional healthcare system. All too often, patients would tell me how they felt unheard and misunderstood by their providers. The treatment focus was limited to diagnosing and treating symptoms, rather than delving into the root causes of dysfunction. Over time, it became clear to me that this systemic issue was a huge contributing factor to the chronic illness many suffered from. This fact became painfully apparent when I, myself, started grappling with a laundry list of physical, psychological, and emotional distress due to "autoimmune disfunction". It was a bewildering and frightening time in my life.

I had initially chosen a career in health to help others, but after hearing the frustration of countless patients and experiencing my own healing challenges, I realized that I needed to try something different. Uncertain of where to begin, I made a commitment to search for more effective healing solutions, both for myself and the patients under my care. This commitment ignited a journey of self-discovery and ongoing education that continues to evolve today. My exploration led me to ancient practices such as mindfulness meditation, somatic breathwork, and energy healing, allowing me to obtain a more holistic perspective on human health. 

By merging my knowledge of Western therapies with the wisdom of Eastern medicine, I experienced a profound transformation in my own health and well-being. This profound personal improvement sparked a deep-seated passion to incorporate these concepts into my professional career. I diligently pursued training to become an intuitive healer, mindfulness practitioner, and wellness educator.

In 2024, I opened my private practice in Union City, NJ to create a safe and nurturing environment where every client I work with can feel seen, heard, and understood. My mission is clear: to simplify the healing journey for those seeking positive change in themselves, and their lives. This is the driving force behind the creation of Connect Health and Wellness.
