Rewriting the Cycle from the Inside Out

I didn’t grow up with wellness.

I was raised in an emotionally and mentally abusive home, surrounded by addiction and instability. There were no examples of what true health—physical, emotional, or mental—could look like.

As I got older, I carried that chaos with me. I struggled with alcohol, unhealthy coping patterns, self-neglect, and eventually burnout. Like many in midlife, I chased success in corporate America, tried to be everything for everyone, became a parent—and completely lost myself in the process.

There were no boundaries. No balance. No peace.

Wellness wasn’t even on my radar. I didn’t know how to prioritize myself because I’d never been taught how. I ate whatever was easy, pushed my body too hard—or not at all—and lived in survival mode for far too long.

But eventually, the weight of it all—mentally, physically, emotionally—forced me to stop.

And I did.

Not just for me, but for my kids. I made the decision to rewrite the story. To break the cycle. To learn what it really means to feel well—and to be free.

That moment changed everything.

I committed to learning everything I could about functional wellness, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed healing, and what actually works when it comes to feeling better in your body, your mind, and your life.

I’ve spent years rebuilding from the inside out. Now, I help others do the same.



Why I Created Thrivality Wellness

Thrivality exists for the silent strugglers. For the ones who look like they have it all together—but feel exhausted inside.

For the parents, professionals, caretakers, and go-getters who are burned out, disconnected, and craving real change.

This isn’t surface-level self-care. This is about reclaiming your energy, your peace, and your health—from the inside out.
