My Story
I’m not a monk or a mystic.
I’m a corporate consultant, an actor, a creative, and a woman who has lived in the tension between burnout and belief. For years, I battled chronic illness, ADHD, trauma, and the pressure to perform in both professional and spiritual spaces. In the middle of all that, I realized I wasn’t breathing - not deeply, not fully, and definitely not prayerfully.
Like many, I searched for peace in wellness spaces that often felt disconnected from my faith. I longed for something rooted in Christ, something that didn’t ask me to leave behind Jesus to feel whole. That longing eventually became a mission.
YHWH Breath Meditation began with a simple practice: connecting my breath to God’s name - inhale “YH,” exhale “WH.” It changed everything. What started as a personal healing tool has grown into a prayer practice rooted in Scripture, stillness, and the mystery of God’s presence.
Today, YHWH Breath Meditation is expanding into a full platform offering a book and journal, a 7-Day Meditation Challenge, guided meditations, online courses, and sacred tools for individuals and communities. I serve those who carry unseen burdens - trauma, chronic illness, ADHD, restless thoughts or lack of focus, spiritual exhaustion, or the tender journey of grieving - and all who ache to know God in an embodied, intimate way.
Outside of this work, I continue my career in senior-level consulting, act in TV and commercial projects, love taking improv classes, and spend time with my dog, Arrow Joseph (named after St. Joseph) - my quiet companion and the best listener I know.
I believe your breath is more than just air - it’s an invitation.
And I would be honored to help you rediscover it.
