My Foundation: From Adoption to Healing

My journey is about continual learning and evolution, and it is this path that led to the creation of Positive Pulse Life.

Positive Pulse Life is a reflection of everything I’ve learned along the way.

It’s a space where we can come together to embrace healing, spirituality, and intentional living.

My mission is to support others in navigating their own journeys of self-discovery, finding balance, and creating lasting positive change.

From the very beginning, my upbringing shaped the foundation of who I am today. My birth mother couldn’t care for me, but I was embraced by a distant relative.

Mama, who had immigrated from the Philippines was in her 50’s when she adopted me.

From a young age, I witnessed her practice natural healing—a legacy of her cultural roots. She was a healer at heart.

What Mama taught me stuck with me. Later in life, I too concocted herbal blends for healing and wellness, continuing her work in my own way.

The Awakening: Disillusionment and Rebirth

I was blessed to attend Catholic school from kindergarten through 12th grade.

However, over time, I became disillusioned with the Roman Catholic Church. I saw the infighting, scandals, and hypocrisy that contradicted the love and compassion Jesus taught.

This disillusionment was a turning point in my journey to discover my own path to spirituality.

The Complicated Path: A Career, Family, and Struggles

After the near-death experience, I walked a complicated path. I focused heavily on my career as our family faced financial struggles.

My ego took center stage as I made decisions that weren’t always in alignment with my true self.

The stress of being a single mom, raising three girls after a divorce, coupled with a demanding job, and suppressed anger led to self-sabotaging choices—alcohol, drugs, and relationships.

I was caught in a cycle that I now recognize was not only destructive but deeply numbing.

Then came September 11, 2001. That day, something inside me shifted.

The world around me was crumbling, and I made the conscious decision to change.

The journey toward self-reinvention began that day.

I vowed to break free from old patterns, and confronting parts of myself that no longer served me.

I embraced a path toward personal healing and growth.

The Process of Reinvention: Growth in Vulnerability

The journey to recreate oneself is never easy. It’s filled with moments of doubt, fear, and discomfort.

But through it all, growth happens.

It’s in these moments of vulnerability that we discover our true strength, resilience, and sense of purpose.

It wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding to see myself in a new light—living aligned with my deepest values.

Through this process of transformation, Positive Pulse Life was born.

It’s a space where I can offer others the support and wisdom I’ve gathered through my own journey.
