I've always been a bit different, and I knew that from a young age. I was the kid quietly fascinated by astrology and the deeper meaning behind things, trying to make sense of a world that I didn't feel like I fit into. Growing up in a Christian household, I learned to keep many of my thoughts close. But keeping quiet didn't make the curiosity go away, it only made the questions louder.

What I didn't realize then was that underneath all of those questions lived something else: anxiety that had been with me for as long as I could remember. Eventually, the two things met. The searching and the suffering pointed me in the same direction, and it pushed me to dive further into my spirituality. The first thing I did was buy a yoga DVD and a mat, not even sure what I was expecting. By the second watch, I'd recognized how much more quiet my brain was. I felt genuinely still for the first time since I could remember. No racing thoughts, no dread. Just peace and stillness. I was hooked immediately.

From there, I continued to go deeper: breathwork, energy work, learning about what the body and mind are actually capable of when you give them the right space. As I leaned more into my natural inclinations, it stopped feeling like a hobby fast. It began feeling much more like God's plan. My purpose.

My toolkit has grown a lot since that first DVD. Astrology has been and is a lifelong study; as I am self-taught and rely on intuitive abilities. It's a language I've studied for as long as I can remember. I practice within the Dr. Mikao Usui lineage, attuned by Linda Miller of Imagine Yoga & Wellness in Bowie, MD. And while I'm still growing as a student of sound healing, it has quietly become one of my favorite ways to hold space for others.

I started TaylorMade Wellness in 2020 and I'm excited to be growing it into something bigger. What started as my own healing journey has turned into a full practice. Too often, spirituality is placed on a pedestal that feels impossible to reach. Our work here is practical, transformational, and meant for everyone.
