I didn’t find my healing in a hospital.
I found it standing in front of a mirror, tears streaming down my face, whispering, “I don’t even know who I am anymore.”

That moment cracked me open.

Until then, I had done everything “right.” I was a trauma nurse, a leader, a wife, a daughter—the dependable one. But under the surface, I was exhausted, disconnected, and hungry for something more. When everything familiar began to fall away, I was left with a single, terrifying question:
“If I’m no longer all the roles I’ve clung to, then… who am I?”

That question unraveled me—and ultimately rebuilt me.

My healing didn’t happen overnight. It wasn’t polished or pretty. It was raw. It was lonely. It was a season of deep unbecoming.

But it was also where I found my power.

In 2021, after over a year of sitting with that question, I made a bold choice:
If I don’t know who I am anymore, then I have infinite freedom to become.

That choice launched Project Unbecoming—a personal commitment to strip away everything that wasn’t true and rebuild a life from the inside out. I tried on many new versions of myself during that time. I even went skydiving. (The sport didn’t stick—but the “fck it, send it”* mindset did.) That leap-of-faith energy became the heartbeat of Full Zen:

A movement.
A mindset.
A way of living courageously, authentically, and in harmony.

But this journey didn’t start in 2021. It started long before that.

Back in 2009, I was crowned Miss Graham County and stood on stages across Arizona with a platform called “Amazing You: Inside and Out.” I spoke about mind-body health, confident living, and whole-person wellness—long before I had lived through the full depth of what that truly means. Looking back, it was always in me.

In 2022, after returning to school to become a board-certified holistic nurse, it became clear:
My calling is to sit with people in their pain, not rush them through it.
To guide them back to their bodies, their breath, and the truth of who they are.

Today, I draw on over a decade of nursing experience, my background in trauma care, personal training, and certifications in psychedelic somatic facilitation. I now lead others through ketamine-assisted healing, integration coaching, and holistic wellness programs that address the body, mind, and spirit. I’ve had the honor of learning from powerful teachers—nurses, shamans, medicine women—whose wisdom deeply shapes how I hold space.

Full Zen isn’t about perfection or bypassing the hard parts.
It’s about making your way back to yourself—one breath, one choice, one brave leap at a time.

I created Full Zen for the seekers. For the ones who’ve done everything “right” and still feel lost. For the ones ready to release what no longer fits and rise into who they truly are.

You don’t have to do it alone.
You were never meant to.
