She is the godmother of the concept of spiritual and emotional healing treatments as a luxury akin to a mani-pedi, that should be booked and attended regularly. Her highest aspiration is to continue her work as an entrepreneur in the self-help and wellness space to ensure others have the tools and insights they need to renovate their lives into the highest expression of their personal destiny.
