I know because I've been there

Barber, Spiritual Practitioner, Mentor

  As I look at my life retrospectively, I can say that all things I can identify as today, were dreams once dreamt. I remember I was pushing the age of twelve, attending a salon with my mother when I was lost in a daydream, ‘I think I could love this’. Sure, it wasn’t for another fifteen years until I decided to pursue training and licensure, but today I have spent ten years establishing a professional and personal reputation in Seattle’s Capitol Hill.
 My adolescent phase mentioned held a life that drove and shaped me into who I am today. An impetuous and sensitive teenager evolved into a tumultuous young adult; I did what I wanted, when I wanted. Paired with a proclivity for substances and drive for adrenaline, I was led into crime and incarceration. Thankfully I was rocketed into a fourth dimension of sobriety and pursuit of reinvention through spiritual practice and pilgrimage.  
 Those whom I would call teachers and mentors, the friends in which I would meet and fellowships I would join, allowed me to thrive in the unknown. Soon after, I discovered a love of sharing and teaching, whether it be through spiritual, mental or physical fitness. Twenty-six years after that simple salon inspired daydream, I’ve been gifted opportunities to be more than just a stylist, a trainer and nutrition coach, and even more than a spiritual practitioner. Today, I have the opportunity to connect with and inspire people like you.
