My Story

From Overwhelm to Calling

A journey through loss, diagnosis, healing, and the faith that carried me through.

Where I Come From

A Life Shaped by Faith, Family & Service

I grew up with a deep faith that has always been the anchor of my life. As a wife, mother, and community servant, I poured myself into caring for others — family, friends, and anyone who needed a steady hand. I built a career, raised a family, and found purpose in showing up for people in their hardest moments.

Michigan has always been home — the place where my roots run deep, my community lives, and where I return each spring. My winters in Arizona brought a slower pace, sunshine, and the space to breathe. Between both places, I found a rhythm that nourished my soul.

The Season That Changed Everything

When Everything Shifted at Once

In the span of two years, my life was reshaped by a series of losses that would have broken anyone without a strong foundation. Divorce. Caregiving for my aging father. His passing. And then — a Stage 3 metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. Each blow came before I had fully recovered from the last. I remember sitting with the weight of it all and wondering how I would take the next step.

"I didn't know how I would get through it. But I knew I wasn't walking through it alone."

A season of loss and resilience

Oasis of Hope

Where Healing Became Possible

My path led me to Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico — a world-renowned integrative cancer treatment center where faith and medicine meet. What I found there was not just treatment. It was a philosophy of whole-person healing: body, mind, and spirit. The doctors, the staff, the community of patients — all of it became part of my healing.

Through God's grace and the integrative care I received at Oasis of Hope, I am cancer free today. That is not a small sentence. It is the sentence that changed everything about how I see my life and my purpose.

"I am cancer free today. And that miracle became my mission."

The Calling

My Healing Became My Purpose

When you walk through something that hard and come out the other side, you can't go back to ordinary. I knew I was meant to take what I had learned — about integrative healing, about navigating the medical system, about holding onto faith when everything feels uncertain — and offer it to others. Imagine Your Journey was born from that knowing.

Today I walk alongside women who are facing their own overwhelming seasons. Whether it's a cancer diagnosis, a major life transition, or simply the need to rebuild with clarity and purpose, I offer the kind of support I wish I had — grounded in lived experience, faith, and genuine compassion.

What I Believe

The Heart Behind the Work

Faith First

Every step of my journey has been held by God. I bring that same faith-forward perspective to every woman I support.

Lived Experience

I'm not speaking from a textbook. I've sat in the diagnosis chair, navigated the decisions, and found my way through.

Whole-Person Healing

True healing touches body, mind, and spirit. I believe in integrative approaches that honor all of who you are.

You Are Not Alone

No one should navigate a cancer diagnosis or a life upheaval in isolation. I am here to walk with you.
