My Journey

From Business Owner - to the Skies

At 46, I made a decision that changed everything.

I became a flight attendant.

Before aviation, I built and ran multiple businesses, including a specialty retail store, a medical spa, and a real estate brokerage. But stepping into aviation opened my eyes to something most travelers never see.

Passengers constantly asked me questions mid-flight, what to pack, how to avoid delays, what really matters.

I realized something important:

What I saw:

  • how airports actually operate

  • what causes delays

  • how small mistakes create big travel stress

  • what experienced travelers do differently

Most travelers don’t lack effort—they lack insider knowledge.

What started it all

My health journey began with a wake-up call at 43, when I experienced a heart attack caused by a PFO, a small hole in the heart. That moment changed everything. It pushed me to take ownership of my health and become my own advocate.

Having lost both of my parents to cancer at relatively young ages, I’ve developed a deep commitment to understanding the body and exploring proactive, holistic approaches to wellness. I believe in looking beyond conventional methods and integrating alternative strategies that support the body as a whole.

Today, I take a highly personalized and data-driven approach to my health, especially when I travel. From supplements and breathing techniques to vagus nerve exercises, I actively work to support my body in flight. I also track my physiological responses using tools like WHOOP, continuous glucose monitors, metabolic trackers, and regular blood pressure monitoring.

I’m continually learning and collaborating with experts, from sleep doctors to dietitians, to better understand how travel impacts the body. Through this work, I aim to share insights, raise awareness, and help others feel more informed and empowered in their own health journeys.

So I started sharing.

Today, I help hundreds of thousands of travelers feel:

more prepared

more confident

less stressed
