luminescence

I'm a registered nurse, a music strategist, and the founder of Luminescence. But I didn't come to wellness through a textbook. I came to it through my own heart.

About twenty years ago, while I was still in nursing school, I was diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). After my second child, they came back. For two decades I've lived with a body that sometimes skips a beat, and I learned to keep going anyway.

That's the part I want you to hear: I kept going anyway.

Just a few weeks ago, I had left arm pain and chest pain, and I was tested for blood clots in my lungs. As a nurse, I know exactly what that kind of workup means. After the testing, my doctor told me it was most likely stress-related.

Stress. After all those years of caring for patients, raising children, building businesses, and showing up for everyone else, my body was telling me what I hadn't been willing to admit: sometimes we don't even know we're overexerting ourselves, because we're so used to it.

That moment is why Luminescence exists. I believe healing starts when we stop confusing "I'm used to it" with "I'm okay." Whether you're recovering from a divorce, rebuilding your standards, working through your dating patterns, or stepping onto a stage as an artist, the work is the same: get honest about what you're carrying and learn to regulate before you react.
