Why I Fell in Love with Writing

My journey into wellness didn't begin in a gym or a yoga studio. It began in the quiet hours of my teenage years, when movement became the only language I had for emotions I couldn't name. Fitness saved me before I understood what I was being saved from. It gave me a place to put the weight I was carrying, and somewhere along the way, that practice cracked open a door I didn't know existed.

​

In my twenties, I walked through that door and built Vedas Fitness, a wellness space rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom and Vedic philosophy. But if I'm honest, I was building something I desperately needed for myself - a sanctuary where healing meant more than muscle, where strength was measured in wholeness. People came for the workouts and stayed for something deeper. We were all searching for the same thing, even if we called it different names.

​

The path from there was anything but straight. Trainer became teacher. Teacher became entrepreneur. And then, unexpectedly, entrepreneur became author. I never planned to write books. Writing found me the way most important things do, through necessity.

​

Books raised me in ways my parents couldn't. They became my guides, my mentors, my companions in rooms where I often felt alone. So, when I finally sat down to write my own story, something shifted that I hadn't anticipated. The act of putting words to my life let me see it differently. Old wounds I'd been circling for decades suddenly made sense when I could see them from different angles and distances when placing them on the page. I began to understand that the stories we tell ourselves shape everything - our choices, our relationships, and our sense of what's possible.

​

This is what writing gave me - new eyes. The ability to step outside a narrative I'd been living inside my whole life and ask, is this actually true? That question changed my relationship with my past and my present. It pulled me from the perspective of the main character to witness the story of others too. Writing became an unexpected bridge to so much more then I knew was possible.

​

Now I understand that we're all living out stories we didn't consciously choose. Narratives shaped by pain, by silence, by things no one ever explained. These invisible scripts create the characters we believe ourselves to be, quietly steering us toward futures that feel inevitable but aren't. The moment we pause to examine these stories, they begin to loosen their grip. And when they loosen, everything opens.

​

This is the work I've come to love. My writing lives at the intersection of places that don't usually meet - shadow work and embodiment, dream interpretation and nervous system science, ancient Vedic wisdom and modern psychology. I write because I've lived the transformation these modalities make possible, and because I believe our stories hold the keys to our healing.

​

Wholeness isn't something we find. It's something we remember. Transformation isn't about becoming someone new. It's about returning to who we were before the world convinced us to shrink.

​

So welcome to this space, where wellness meets words and healing happens through both body and story. You'll find pieces of this understanding in my books: Think Fit 2 Be Fit, which explores fitness as a gateway to self-discovery, and The Phoenix Within, a memoir about silence, survival, and the soul's slow way home.

​

I share my path hoping you might feel permission to walk your own.

​

After all, you're the author of your life.
