For most of my life, I felt like something was missing...

I grew up Catholic in a small town in Pennsylvania, taught that God was something separate and outside myself. This belief left me with the feeling that I was inherently “not good enough”, so I turned to external sources to feel whole and complete. I projected God onto food, alcohol, achievement, and anything else I thought could fill this void.

On the outside, I looked like I had it all together. I played professional basketball. I was driven, disciplined, and a high achiever. But on the inside, I felt completely disconnected from my body, soul, and my life’s purpose.

I battled perfectionism, dissociation, disordered eating, and self-sabotage. Even after years of therapy and personal development, I couldn’t break free from the same old cycles.

My lifelong fascination with human consciousness and the healing power of nature meant that psychedelic plant medicines intrigued me from a very young age.

When I finally said yes to the call, my life was transformed forever.

For the first time, I felt deeply connected — to myself, to the Earth, and to the Divine within and around me. It was the bridge that helped me reconnect with my body, release layers of conditioning, and remember my true essence and purpose.

The funny thing is that the medicine didn’t give me anything outside myself. It simply reminded me of the living, breathing miracle I am, and always have been.
