Breaking Free: My Journey to Healing and Purpose
The Mindvalley Certified Hypnotherapist program was, without a doubt, the most transformative online course I have ever taken. Paul McKenna and his team—Steve Crabb, Tina Taylor, and the dedicated assistants—were nothing short of phenomenal. They provided extraordinary guidance, deep insight, and life-changing techniques that unlocked something in me I had spent years searching for.
The lessons, the Q&A sessions, the hands-on labs—every moment was rich with wisdom. But what made this experience truly remarkable? The community. The students were powerful, resilient, and deeply committed to each other’s growth. We lifted each other up, held space for one another, and witnessed breakthroughs that will stay with us forever.
But let me take you back to where it all began.
I was born into a world of struggle. I was raised in a Haitian-American household by a mother who carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. She was strong and relentless and worked hard every single day to provide for her four children. But she was also overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone. And when my father left, the burden of it all fell squarely on her.
That pain, that stress, that scarcity—it wasn’t just hers. It was passed down, thread by thread, woven into the fabric of our lives. And me? I became the reflection of the man she resented. And for that, I bore the brunt of her anger.
By the time I was 16, I had already learned the language of survival. I left home, determined to carve a different path for myself. I worked. I hustled. I earned scholarships. I put myself through undergrad, graduate school, and law school—and I built the kind of career that once felt like a dream. Attorney. Leader in my church. A picture of success. But no matter how much I achieved, no matter how many accolades I stacked.
One week. One hypnosis session. One moment where everything I thought I knew about healing cracked wide open.
For the first time in my life, I found something therapy alone hadn’t given me—a way to recode my mind, release my pain, and step into the life I was meant to live. The weight of decades lifted. I didn’t just feel different. I was different.
And that is why I am here today. That is why I now do this work. Because I know what it means to feel trapped by your past. I know what it means to carry burdens that were never yours to hold. And I know—deep in my soul—that true freedom is possible.
This program didn’t just teach me hypnosis. It gave me the tools to break free, to embrace abundance, peace, and purpose—and to help others do the same.
Today, as a certified hypnotherapist and transformational coach, I stand fully in my power. And for the first time in my life, I know, without a doubt, that I am exactly where I’m meant to be.
up, there was a void.
up, there was a void.
I tried to heal. I did the work. Therapy. Reflection. Facing the past, piece by painful piece. But the scars? They ran deep. The childhood wounds, the abandonment, the scarcity mindset—those chains felt unbreakable.
