Our story

How Aurora Wellness began

Many of us were patients long before we were practitioners. This is where mine began — and why your healing begins with you.

“Once you’ve been through it yourself, you understand the desperation for answers — and the hope that comes with a fresh start.”

If you ask most practitioners in the health space, you’ll notice a theme: either they, or someone they love, has faced a health crisis that set them searching through confusing advice, dead ends, and disappointments. Many of us were patients before we were practitioners — and that’s often where the passion begins. I am no exception.

Before I go further, I want to say how glad I am you’ve found your way here. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve had your own version of that chaos — a health scare, a string of letdowns, or countless “solutions” that weren’t really made for you.

The journey

A path back to myself

Age 16

A first dream

Working my first job as a preschool assistant, I imagined a life in teaching — sure I’d found my path.

Age 17

The session that changed everything

My mom took me to see an EFT practitioner. I couldn’t have imagined how much I needed it — that first session began a gentle release of long-held trauma and a recovery from childhood illness.

Five years abroad

Across Asia

I moved overseas and spent five years traveling, developing a deep appreciation for Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbalism. My love of essential oils and herbal tinctures grew from there.

2020

Coming full circle

Like so many, I felt the heavy toll of pandemic stress. The version of myself I was seeing wasn’t the real me. I found my way back to EFT — and within minutes of tapping, that calm I’d missed returned.

A new passion

Bioenergetic scanning

I discovered a detailed blueprint of what my body needed, based on my own DNA. The results were astounding — my asthma resolved, my energy returned, and after 14+ gluten-free years, I could eat bread again.

Today

From experience to practice

After 12+ years with EFT, I became a Certified Practitioner, and a Certified Bioenergetic Testing Practitioner through Qest4 Health & Education. I continue to study holistic wellness, energy medicine, and herbalism.

My mission

To create a healing journey as unique as you are — so you can finally feel like yourself again.

The body is incredible, designed to heal, yet so often misunderstood and even blamed for the very symptoms trying to get our attention. No one else has your exact story, your experiences, or your makeup. So why should your wellness path look like anyone else’s?

What guides the work

Three core pillars

The patterns and tools that made the biggest difference — for me, and for those I’ve helped along the way.

Bioenergetic Testing

Advanced scanning pinpoints the patterns, blockages, and energy drains unique to your system — the starting point for your personalized map back to wellness.

EFT Tapping

Gently release overwhelming emotions, beliefs, and inherited patterns by calming your nervous system — so you feel lighter, freer, and safer in your body.

I’d be honored to walk that journey with you.

It brings me great joy to help others experience the same relief and emotional freedom I found. Life can still be challenging, and we’re all navigating constant change — but I look forward to empowering you with simple, profoundly effective tools to help you feel like yourself again.

We all have a story. And we all have the ability to reawaken the body’s incredible capacity to heal. If you’re ready to reconnect with the truest version of yourself, I’m right here.
