Hearth is the birthplace and home where the comforting warmth of fire weaves together the energies of heaven and earth. In Chinese medicine, we are seen as the living nexus of Heaven and Earth, drawing power from both realms to shape our human existence. We are part of nature, not separate from it. Yet, many of us have become disconnected from the very essence of our being and our physical bodies.

Fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed with a severe autoimmune disease. This life-altering experience set me on a path of self-discovery and healing through holistic health. I realised the immense power of the body’s innate wisdom when supported by natural medicine, a positive mindset, and the right environment. Through a combination of whole foods, exercise, and holistic practices, I was able to heal myself and transform my life.

Twelve years ago, I found myself in the heart of Mexico, volunteering at my first Health Retreat Centre, Casa De La Vida, nestled in the mystical town of Tepoztlan. It was here, enveloped in the town’s spiritual aura, that I envisioned and began creating programs to support others on a journey toward holistic health and vitality. I knew I was destined to contribute to the greater evolution of humankind.

In the years that followed, I trained in diverse modalities and worked in various healing centres across the globe, including Peru, Costa Rica, and Australia. I experienced many healing and hero’s journeys of my own and delved into various philosophies, discovering that there isn’t one singular path to healing, and it certainly doesn’t happen overnight. Each of us is a unique tapestry of biology and spirit, responding in our own ways according to our elemental nature.

One truth remains clear to me: we are human, and we are here to embrace our humanity. Our bodies and the Earth are our only homes, so why not make them sanctuaries of health and vitality? By embracing holistic health and nurturing every aspect of ourselves, we can create a better world, one harmonious and vibrant being at a time.

I now bring to you a wealth of wisdom with a supportive, integrative, creative, and holistic approach to health and healing—an elemental journey through the pathway of Hearth.
