In my early 20’s, my life was on a trajectory of despair. Addiction had taken hold following a routine dental procedure, spiraling into a secret battle with opiates amidst the backdrop of New York City’s charm.
My journey through the US’s best rehab centers offered no lasting solution, leaving me trapped in a relentless cycle of relapse.
It was the re-entry of a friend into my life, sharing his transformative experience with ibogaine treatment in Mexico, that offered a glimmer of hope. Despite my fears and doubts, I embarked on a journey that would not only challenge my deepest fears but ultimately free me from the chains of addiction and catalyze my healing from intergenerational trauma.
My experience 15 years ago was life-changing, yet fraught with risks due to inadequate medical support and therapeutic preparation. This harrowing journey inspired my husband, Tom, and me to establish Beond.
Fifteen years ago, I could never have imagined where I am now—leading a life of stability and meaning as a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur who supports others in their wellness journeys.
Through my own experiences, I’ve reclaimed what I believe is everyone’s foundational right: happiness and purpose.
Witnessing hundreds of clients come through our program and find their own gifts has become the essence of my mission.
