Description

Warm greetings, thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am a 28 year young multifaceted woman. I am dually employed as a fashion model, and Ayurvedic and Integrative Health practitioner since graduating with my BA in Ayurveda Wellness and Integrative Health with a minor in Organic Regenerative Agriculture in June, 2023. I also have a certificate in Permaculture Design which I am eager to use. Additionally, I am currently an online graduate student studying to receive a M.S. in Aromatherapy and Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine.

I am passionate about all things minimal and natural living and feel a personal responsibility to be more harmonic with, and protective of Mother Nature and all of the creatures that inhabit her.

I was born and raised in a suburb 30 minutes north of Atlanta, Georgia. Both of my parents were born and raised in the north, but I was raised as a Georgia peach with some island energy mixed in as I am Jamaican and Cape Verdean on my maternal side.

I am an open minded, heart based, hard working, and adventure seeking. I would consider myself to be disciplined, but free spirited. I am independent, intelligent, and self motivated, (most of my travels have been alone).

My interests and hobbies include: aromatherapy / working with essential oils, ceramics, hiking, painting, meditating, energy work / healing, childcare, organic regenerative agriculture, compost cultivation, herbalism, permaculture, sustainability, irrigation, yoga, reading, journaling, cooking, and exploring. Most of all, I love spending time in nature and being near healthy bodies of water.

I consider myself to be a global citizen as I see no separation in the human experience and seek to find beauty and unity in our differences rather than reasons to separate us. My soul has been called to various parts of the world, some of those places are: Brazil, Thailand, Fiji, Kenya, Hawai'i, Madagascar, Bali, Costa Rica, The French Riviera, Mozambique, India and more!

I have been very fortunate to have started traveling at an early age and I'm so grateful to have had the privilege to do so as those experiences taught me wonderful lessons and have shaped me into the woman I am today. I've learned lifelong lessons such as having an open mind and heart, being adaptable to different cultures and circumstances, being respectful and compassionate, being present, supporting local lifestyles and businesses, and more! Some of the places that I have visited and received such lessons from are: Jamaica, Dubai, France, Morocco, Spain, Mexico, Hawai'i, Kenya, and Madagascar.

More details about your skills

As an Ayurvedic and Integrative Health Practitioner I am able to create lifestyle recommendations / protocols centered around preventative care and / or holistic healing through lifestyle changes such as diet, routine, behavior, and supplementation. I am also able to construct herbal protocols, make infusions, medicinal tinctures, glycerites, suppositories, balms, and essential oil blends aimed toward preventative care and / or treatment.

I am studied in Ayurvedic diet, digestion, and nutrition so I am able to create meal plans and provide meal preparation and healthy, wholesome cooking.

I have experience with childcare as I have been a babysitter for ten years and a part time nanny for three. I also have experience care-taking for the elderly. I have nannied for children ranging from newborns to 12 years of age. I have experience making bottles (whether breastmilk or formula), burping, bathing, changing diapers, I am CPR certified (both infant and adult). I've done pickups and drop offs, made and meal prepped baby food, toddler, and children's meals. I have also cooked family dinners, done laundry, dishes, general cleaning, etc. I have also pet sit for various families that I babysit and nanny for so I have experience with that as well.

I have a small garden of my own in my backyard that is comprised of 2 raised beds that I actually built from scratch last summer. I also created a makeshift compost container out of wooden palettes that get thrown away by Home Depot. Within my garden I planted cilantro, parsley, bell peppers, tomatoes, rosemary, mint, and basil. I have experience with basic gardening and compost curation and knew enough about building to construct my raised beds from scratch.

Lastly, while I am introverted and like having time to myself, I am very personable and have great people skills. If hosting or accommodating guests is needed, I am confident I can fulfill that need with compassionate, kind, and bubbly care.

What else ...

I hold a vision and infinite space within in my heart and mind for a healthier, happier, more whole and high vibrational Earth. I take my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and growth seriously so my hobbies include all that assists my organic positive evolution. I sound serious (I am a Capricorn), but I do my best to balance the responsibility of being conscious with maintaining my childlike innocence, having a sense of humor, and keeping my heart light.

I love to spend time in Mother Nature. I also love the organic, heart based human experience. I really enjoy learning from hands on experiences. I especially love conversing with people from different cultures and listening to stories of the simpler times before social media and smart phones. Sweet nostalgia :)

I desire to have more quality experiences and life lessons through my travels and experiences with those I am hosted by.

I intend to compile all that I have learned into manifesting my dream which is to construct my Holistic Sanctuary / Homestead Apothecary one day where I will live in an Earthship home near a pure water source with my organic regenerative farm to sustain myself, my family, and small community. I will serve as the community health practitioner and farmer, growing the food and herbs that I will do my healing work with :)
