Founder of Living in the Light | Spiritual Mentor | Sound and Energy Healer | Retreat Facilitator

There was a time when my life looked accomplished on the outside—but inwardly, I was unraveling. After years of overworking, people-pleasing, and striving for success, I found myself exhausted, anxious, and spiritually disconnected. A diagnosis of depression and anxiety was the turning point that set me on a new path—one of surrender, remembrance, and Divine reconnection.

In the quiet of that unraveling, I began to journal, meditate, and blog about my journey. That blog became Living in the Light—a space where I vulnerably shared my healing process, mystical experiences, and the spiritual practices that were guiding me home. These powerful moments, including my transformational spiritual awakening on 12/12/12, are chronicled in my memoir, From Stress to Peace: An Intimate Journal on the Journey from Living in Darkness to Living in the Light. The book offers an intimate look into my healing path and the sacred practices that helped me reclaim peace, purpose, and connection with the Divine. My life has became a sacred journey of alignment: remembering my Divine Self, reclaiming my voice, and supporting others in doing the same.

Today, I serve as a spiritual mentor, sound and energy healer, meditation teacher, Wellpoint Hypnosis™ practitioner, sacred sites guide, and retreat facilitator. I weave ancient wisdom, multidimensional energy healing, and intuitive channeling to support deep nervous system regulation, energetic clearing, and soul alignment. Whether through guided meditation, sound healing sessions, VibratoryEssence™ energy transmissions, or transformational retreats, my work is designed to help you release what no longer serves, reconnect with Divine guidance, and rise into your highest expression.

In addition to the deep lessons of my spiritual awakening, my work is enriched by two decades of leadership in the field of education—including roles with the U.S. Department of Education and national organizations focused on equity and systems transformation. That background continues to inform the way I hold space, create inclusive environments, and support others in breaking free from inherited patterns, limiting beliefs, and systemic conditioning so they can live fully and unapologetically in their Light.

Even as Divine wisdom and cosmic energy began flowing through me with increasing clarity, I spent years trying to appear grounded in what the world considered normal. I dimmed my light—not out of doubt in my gifts, but out of a deep conditioning to blend in, to avoid discomfort, and to be “relatable.” I call it my time of trying to fit into a world I was never meant to conform to. I was receiving direct downloads from God, channeling higher-dimensional guidance, and awakening to my true nature as an extension of the Divine—while still navigating professional and social spaces that weren’t always ready to receive that truth. Today, it is my joy and my honor to walk beside others who are ready to stop shrinking, release the fear of being “too much,” and fully embody the Light of who they are.

In 2020, during a sacred pilgrimage to Kemet (Egypt), I received the name Raya Ma’at, meaning Ray of Divine Light, living in truth and balance. That name is not just a spiritual title—it’s an energetic blueprint for my soul’s work in this lifetime.

As a lifelong student of Earth’s ancient wisdom and sacred energies, I’ve journeyed to 43 countries and led retreats in some of the planet’s most potent spiritual centers, including, but not limited to, Kemet (Egypt), Peru, Guatemala, Sedona, Mount Shasta, and the Yucatán. My retreats are designed not as escapes, but as activations—safe, soul-led containers where participants experience transformation they can carry home.

My latest body of work, VibratoryEssence™, was channeled in 2020 and has been waiting for its release for “such a time as this”. This unique modality blends sound codes, light language, and high-frequency transmissions to attune clients to their highest frequency and activate soul gifts encoded within their multidimensional being. VibratoryEssence™ now lives as personalized audio activations, and will soon expand to a course, card deck, toolkit, and more.

Whether you are navigating burnout, seeking deeper soul guidance, or ready to live your spiritual truth more boldly, I am here to support your return to peace, purpose, and radiance. You are here to shine. To remember. To rise.

✨ Raya means Light of the Divine. Ma’at means living in truth and balance. Together, they are the essence of who I am—and the essence of what I help others awaken in themselves.
