The Birth of Passionflower Transformative Wellness
Hello, I’m thrilled you’re here!
I want to share with you my passion for the projects on this website and how it all began.
In late 2021, I found myself utterly drained, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The loss of both parents, followed by the intense experience of working as a nurse in the COVID-19 pandemic's epicenter in NYC, had taken its toll. My body was breaking down, my nervous system was dysregulated, grief overwhelmed me, and I felt like I was drowning, unable to carry on. Yet, it was in this darkness that I discovered my beacon of hope. I escaped to the serene shores of Vieques, Puerto Rico, where I underwent a profound healing journey. As the saying goes, “There ain’t nothing salt water can’t cure; sweat, tears, and the ocean”. I delved into all three. My nervous system rebooted and my whole viewpoint on life was elevated.
Since then, with a heart full of gratitude and love for the land and its people, I manifested a property on the North shore of the island. I am now motivated by a clear vision - to assist individuals seeking a more fulfilling life through transformative retreat experiences in this haven.
I'm driven to offer an alternative path that emphasizes natural wellness, self-care, and empowerment. My chapter in the collaboration sequel to the revolutionary “Discover the Gift” book, film, and movement is about the unfolding and blooming of Passionflower.
