i founded breath of life botanicals to share insights on breathwork, meditation, and natural supplements, particularly medicinal functional mushrooms. i incorporate these products into my daily routine and have conducted extensive personal research to develop the formula that suits me best. through the daily use of these dietary additions, along with breathwork, meditation, and lifestyle changes, i overcame long-standing addictions, lost significant weight, and eliminated multiple prescription medications, all while reducing stress and anxiety and enhancing my self-esteem, relationships, and productivity. having worked in western medicine, i witnessed the often algorithmic approach to patient care, where the root causes of conditions were frequently overlooked in favor of merely alleviating symptoms. this can lead to a lifetime reliance on pharmaceuticals and procedures. my methods, however, are tailored to the individual and foster a holistic approach to healing the body, mind, and spirit. as a lifelong learner of science and philosophy and a world traveler to five continents, i’ve integrated spiritual and scientific practices through a multicultural lens to create a comprehensive system anyone can adopt. i earned my meditation and breathwork instructor certification from loka yoga school in bali, recognized by the yoga alliance, and completed my reiki training with international reiki master carrlyn clay, following the hawayo takata lineage. i am excited to share my discoveries with you! om shanti (peace)!
