I was a curious kid who was witchy since way back. I read astrology and spiritual books late at night, talked to spirits, made potions with herbs, and collected crystals like they were treasure. I had a curiosity that often made me feel like I didn't quite fit in, so I dimmed my light.

Sometimes, I felt like I was on this quest to learn and grow on my own. I wanted a version of a vagabond lifestyle because it represented freedom to me, but I didn't know where to start. I was interested in spiritual communities but never truly felt like I belonged because there weren't many people who looked like me.

Settling in Hawaiʻi in 2018 cracked me open. This ʻĀina reminded me of my purpose and helped me embrace the possibility of a magical, yet very real, life. For the first time, I was surrounded by more diversity and people with similar backgrounds to my own. I finally felt safe and free to dive deep into ancestral work, astrology, Reiki, herbalism, and building community.

Over the years, I've learned the importance of community and the importance of asking for help because we don't have to do life alone. I've learned to embrace who I am and be proud of my lineage. I've learned resilience and what I want to bring forward for the next generation. Most importantly, I've learned that WE are the key, not the modalities we use. They are just there for support along the way.

We already hold the answers within us—sometimes they just need a little time and patience to reawaken (which I'm still working on too… hehe).

I want to be like a sister walking beside you; someone who supports you, encourages you, and reminds you of your power, your strength, and your story when you've forgotten them.

I created Enlightened Reality to become the community I once needed—a place where we can remember that we belong. So let's do it together. Let's fall in love with life again while reconnecting with people around us, ourselves, and the spirit within us.
