"After surviving a stroke, I made the brave decision to embark on a new journey by starting my own business called Earth To Soul Emporium. The word emporium itself represents the freedom & boundless opportunities that creativity brings, catering to a diverse range of customers. My long-standing fascination with Rocks, Gems, & Crystals served as the inspiration behind crafting unique pieces for my customers. Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed expressing my creativity through various handmade items for my loved ones.

I spent the last 5 years as a Dental Hygienist; however, the stroke hindered my ability to continue pursuing my career & forced me to confront numerous restrictions during the healing process. Determined to not let anything stand in my way, I wholeheartedly embraced this new venture & discovered that by breaking tasks into smaller time frames, I was able to make progress. Despite the mental & cognitive challenges, I have faced, I am immensely grateful for the power of neuroplasticity.

With this mindset, I am confident in my ability to conquer any obstacles that lie ahead."
