Why I created HZV:

My Journey to Healing & Alignment

At 13 years old, I made a decision that would shape my entire life: I was going to break the cycle. I knew deep down that the trauma I had experienced wasn’t who I was—and it wasn’t the life I wanted for myself or the children I would one day have. I promised myself that I would heal and become the best version of myself.

However, healing isn’t easy, and it’s definitely not a linear process.

I became a spiritual person early. At one annual physical, my doctor told me I had to reduce my stress. I was holding on to years of trauma. I walked away from the traditional path of church and started exploring what true peace and connection meant for me. Eventually, I became a single mom raising two kids, working hard to give them a better life. On the outside, I was strong and successful. On the inside, I was exhausted, stressed, and deeply unhappy.

Climbing the corporate ladder became my way of providing for my kids and proving my worth, but over time, it took a toll. My title and status started to mean nothing. I was burned out, anxious, and disconnected from who I really was. My nervous system was in constant overdrive because I spent so many years being what everyone else needed me to be. I was stuck in survival mode.

One day, I decided I couldn’t live like that anymore.

I started practicing Buddhism, and everything began to shift. It taught me mindfulness, compassion, and empathy for myself and others, and how to truly be present. I learned to trust my intuition, honor my energy, and align my chakras. I gave myself permission to stop running on empty and start creating a life that actually felt good—a life that reflected my authentic self.

That choice changed everything.

I didn’t want to just exist anymore. I wanted to live, to create a lifestyle that aligned with my purpose and allowed me to help others find theirs. That’s how Higher Zen Vibes was born - a space for mindfulness, healing, and conscious living.

Now, my mission is simple: to help you reconnect with your calm, your power, and your purpose. To create tools, products, and resources that remind you it’s okay to choose peace. It’s okay to be soft and strong at the same time. It’s okay to live life on your terms. If you’ve ever felt burned out, anxious, or disconnected from who you really are - I see you. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay there.

Welcome to Higher Zen Vibes. This is just the beginning of the journey.
