The AHA moment

The spiritual path can be messy, amazing, deep, rewarding and have so many ups and downs. I realized where I was on my journey when I took a moment in Thailand on a permaculture farm, immersed in a community, and training to be certified in Reiki I and II.

I was laying on my single mattress with 15 other people on their single mattress in this cabin built by the community, under a bug screen reflecting on what brought me to this moment. I'm a mile walk away through the woods from the toilet, a girl across from me screaming because there was a scorpion in her bed, and I'm just laughing at myself realizing where I am. I know I am in the right place, I am fully immersed in this community, growing the food we eat on the land, catching rainwater, a makeshift toilet that actually heats the shower, and training in Reiki with the most amazing group of humans.

The first moment I placed my hands on my first “client” I knew this was something I would do for the rest of my life. I knew this would be the foundation for the Luxy Eve Method.

The journey that led to my aha…

I started my journey after high school thinking I wanted to be in fashion, I ended up Los Angeles. I had a new view on life, culture, community, and health and wellness. Shortly after, I moved back to New York and got some internships in Fashion…and the economy crashed. I went to work for my family’s company in Auto Parts  that my Grandpa Stanley and Great Uncle Ray started from Taxi Stand. I worked, I saved, I learned the corporate way of life. I always knew deep down there was something more I was meant for.

We sold the company and knew this was my ticket. I decided I needed to go back to Costa Rica. There was something calling me back. I went to Costa Rica, where I would surf and learn the power of the ocean and riding the wave, I learned the beauty of coming together for  sunrise and sunsetting. The community I entered came together eating simple, delicious, and nutritious foods. I learned how a community lives in tandem and can thrive in self freedom. I was living in rhythm with the land and ocean. I lived here for 3 months traveling around and learning the culture and customs which changed my view forever. 

After Costa Rica I felt called back to NY. I moved back into the city with my best friend Gabby. I thought it was time for me to get grounded. I started working for a dermatologist, pumping upper east siders with fillers and botox , I knew I was still being called for something more. I enrolled in the Academy of Healing Nutrition where I studied nutrition, ancient Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, self-care practices, qigong, tai chi, holistic first aid. This helped me to anchor into a more holistic way of living.  

After a painful breakup and feeling lost without a purpose,  the universe prescribed me with my own version of Mind, Body, Spirit. I spent the next 3 months in Bali, Thailand, and Australia where I traveled by myself and felt myself transformed in all three ways. I spent a lot of time surfing Bali, visiting sacred temples, and learning how to participate in cultural rituals of devovation. I moved into the body of Thailand which is explained above. Australia is where I got to relax my spirit, explore, and integrate all that I had been through. 

Shortly after, I made a stopover in NYC then LA and I knew the body was calling for more exploration. I went on to Maui where I enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training at the Maui Yoga Shala. I learned how important and what the meaning behind the movement of the body and yoga is. I spent time in a little town of Paia, which is a little spiritual community grounded in Yoga and Nutrition. In Hawaii, I reconnected back to land and the true spiritual meaning of yoga, why do we downdog? 

I still didn't feel like my formula was complete. I know how hard it is to find your purpose. I know how hard it is to find your voice. While at yoga teacher training I hard a really hard lesson in finding my Voice. My confidence was still shot from so many previous limiting beliefs and heartbreaks. 

I felt like my motto was that I just want to experience the world and what every culture has to offer and “I can Travel Solo.”  So I took my travels on another adventure to Spain, Croatia, and Italy. I knew that my purpose was to settle one day but since I had already been traveling so much I thought this was the perfect opportunity to keep feeding my curiosity culturally and spiritually until I felt satisfied. On my 30th birthday, I found myself on a retreat in Croatia speaking to this amazing woman telling me about a training she did in Los Angeles at the University of Santa Monica for Spiritual Psychology. It left a lasting impression as I continued on my adventure.

The Grounding  

I finally found my grounding and my sanctuary in LA after all of this exploration and adventure. I enrolled myself into Spiritual Psychology and then shortly after into Pampamaseyok Shaman School. My first day at Spiritual Psychology I sat down with a woman and a neutral observer and I never understood how triggered I could be until that moment. I began to speak about how stuck I felt in my career and in my love life. I almost quit after that day but I knew from the little they taught us that if I was that triggered then I had a lot of work to do.

I spent the next two years going back through every upset, heartbreak, and trigger I had from my point of birth until present. It has been the most healing and transformative experience. I knew then that this was the piece I was missing and waiting for to add to the Luxy Eve Experience. In tandem with Spiritual Psychology, I went to Shaman School. This was the most profound experience to do during Spiritual Psychology. This was the mystical “camp” that I needed to express my intuitive side and to sit in a circle with women and men that shared this empathetic intuitive side of me. We practiced energy medicine, rites, rituals, intuition, and more. This is where I found my method, my practice, my voice, my Luxy Eve, where I can be your spiritual guide through this life journey.

My passion is creating a luxurious experience of self care for others. Through healing and spiritual counseling, I create a safe and beautiful space for you to shift negative energies into positive power.
