We speak to the soul healer and mumtrepreneur about self-care, being “well” and female-owned brands she’s loving at the moment.
Have you always wanted to have your own business?
I get asked this all the time. The answer is no. I’ve always been a type A over-achiever. I thought that with my personality, I’d stress myself out as a business owner. It wasn’t until I met my boyfriend (now husband), that my entrepreneurial drive kicked in. He brought out the potential in me and once I got a taste of the entrepreneurial life something within me activated. My passion in life now is to create soul-aligned projects and help others nurture their visions into being.
What defines a modern woman in 2021 to you?
A modern woman to me, lives life on her own terms. She’s able to break free from childhood and societal conditioning and create her own reality of being. She embraces all facets of herself and shows up authentically. She knows what she wants and how to become her best self. She holds space for herself and others in moments of vulnerability with tenderness and love. She communicates her needs with compassion. She’s emotionally intelligent and embodies it in every aspect of her life. She is empowered, inspiring and loves her self unconditionally.
What’s one accessory every woman must have?
CONFIDENCE. A woman with confidence, defies all odds. She shows up fully as herself and is comfortable in her skin. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to pursue it. She is empowered and empowers those around her.
What does your self-care routine look like?

My self-care routine has shifted over the years especially now being a mom to a toddler. My self-care routine now consists of dedicating space to honor my emotions when it needs tending to. Honoring and listening to my body when it needs rest. Massages play a big part in my self-care routine as well. It’s a 60-90 minute block of time where I’m completely unplugged, present in the moment and get to fully receive body work and relax completely.
My daily routine consists of meditation, energy work and breathwork with aromatherapy. I set aside time once a week to be by myself so I can press pause on all the roles I play in life. This allows me space to reconnect with self and ground back into my own energies. This normally looks like a day away from the phone in nature or on the beach.
At this moment, what does being ‘well’ mean to you?
Such a great question! WELL to me means finding the sweet spot in balancing between physical, emotional and spiritual health. As a woman who is a mom, wife, sister, friend, entrepreneur, coach and healer, I need to show up fully for myself and others. So making sure that I am balanced in all aspects of self is a priority for me.

Who’s your Chika?
I don’t have just one. I have an amazing support system of inspiring, empowering and loving women in my life. I’m so grateful and lucky. Amongst them are family members, friends, coaches, healers and soul family that I’ve met on my journey. They all have unique gifts that nourish me spiritually and emotionally. They’re women I can count on when times get tough. They are there to celebrate milestones together with. But most importantly, they’re always there to inspire and ignite parts of me to bring my best self forward.
