The journey that led me to create 'La Paz' hasn't been easy, but as they say, some of the most beautiful things emerge from the darkest, most challenging situations. A mantra I have learnt to embody is “life is happening for me, not to me”.
At 28, I was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, and what followed was a whirlwind of treatments – IVF, radiation, major surgery, and chemotherapy, both intravenous and oral. This journey threw me into premature menopause, leaving not just a physical toll but also a profound impact on my mental health, soul, and sense of what it meant to be a woman.
Throughout this ordeal, I navigated both conventional Western medicine and holistic Eastern practices. I explored every avenue, I left no rock unturned. From simple juicing and supplements to more unconventional methods like reiki and past life regressions, recognizing that my health was not just about my body but encompassed my mind and soul.
Mexico has been a source of profound healing and nourishment for both my body and soul. The first instance occurred while on a retreat in Mexico, during my cancer treatments.
The ability to fully immerse myself in the healing embrace of the sun, indulge in morning barefoot beach walks, embrace daily ocean swims, eat local cuisine, and surround myself with nothing but positive people and influences, created a transformative experience that became a pivotal moment in my healing journey. The rejuvenating power of nature, coupled with the warmth of the local community, allowed my soul to reignite. As I shed layers of stress and inflammation, my body felt safer, my spirit brighter, and my mind clearer.
I will never forget the moment I sat alone on the beach, staring at the ocean, I reflected on my journey over the past 5 years. With tears of gratitude streaming down my face, I envisioned and embraced every version of myself, acknowledging the resilience and strength that had brought me to this moment. “We made it”
Today, La Paz embodies my mission to empower women to find balance in all aspects of their lives. I understand the struggles of reclaiming health and happiness and am dedicated to sharing the tools and practices that have transformed my life. I believe in the transformative power of alignment with one's true self, and I am committed to guiding others on their journey towards a more meaningful, balanced life.
Last year, my theme was PEACE. I didn’t care what I had to do to achieve it I just knew I wasn’t go to stop until I got there.
'La Paz' in Spanish directly translates to ‘Peace’.
I know the feeling of unworthiness that can cloud one's pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. But through my own journey, I've learned that it is possible to break free from that mindset and embrace a life of abundance and well-being. With La Paz, I invite you to reset, unlearn, learn, and embody the incredible potential within you. Together, let's embark on a journey towards holistic wellness, where you can thrive and live the life you were truly born to live.
