Passionate About Elevating Others
I’ve spent over 20 years on a journey of resilience, transformation, and healing—both in business and in life. My path started in my twenties when I dove headfirst into entrepreneurship, launching my first company with nothing but determination and a vision. Over time, my work evolved, just as I did. What began as a fitness business became something much deeper—a space for growth, connection, and transformation.
​
Through my experiences, I’ve come to understand that true well-being isn’t just about physical health; it’s about the mind, body, heart, and soul working together. My company, Vedas, is built on the foundation of Vedic philosophy—the belief that all areas of life are interconnected, creating a Ripple Effect. Every action we take impacts not only our own well-being but also the world around us.
​
Like the Phoenix, I’ve risen from pain and uncertainty, finding purpose in my own healing. My book, The Phoenix Within (coming out in 2026), is a reflection of that journey—a guide for others ready to reclaim their light. It joins my earlier work, Think Fit 2 Be Fit, and upcoming books like How to Be the Best Bestie Ever! and Elevating the Masculine, all of which share a common purpose: helping people rise, heal, and step into their true power.
​
My ultimate mission is to help others break through limitations, cultivate meaningful relationships, and align with their highest potential. Healing, leadership, and transformation aren’t just ideas—they are actionable, everyday choices that shape the life we create.
​
This site will serve as the home for my work, my philosophies, and my vision for a more connected, empowered world. Here you will find the insights, tools, and community support that can help you navigate your own transformation—whether in business, relationships, or personal growth.
​
Wherever you are in your journey, know this: You have the power to rise. You are the Phoenix. And you are not alone!
