My Journey

Fae, Flower & Stone is the culmination of everything I have learned and loved—a venture dedicated to offering emotional self-care products and experiences rooted in ancient, Nature-based healing traditions. My mission is twofold: to help you understand why these techniques are effective, the underlying science that makes them work, and ultimately, just to help you feel better and flourish.
 
For two decades, I built a successful career in high-tech sales and nonprofit fundraising at prestigious organizations like Adobe Systems, Microsoft, The Salvation Army, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. While I appeared accomplished on the outside, I secretly navigated the corporate world while battling anxiety and depression, keeping my struggles to myself for fear of scrutiny. Out of necessity, this personal journey led me to discover emotional wellness tools that went beyond traditional therapy, eventually leading me to leave New York City and open the health and wellness business, Bright Life.
 
I recently relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona, where I launched Fae, Flower & Stone, merging organic skincare and self-care products with therapies using chakra balancing, Feng Shui, crystals, fragrance, color, and sound. My approach is founded on the belief that these traditions, combined with modern science and a focus on inner beauty, offer powerful paths to emotional balance and holistic self-care, all helping you to feel better so you look better and flourish.
 
I am a true believer in the healing magic of Nature and its limitless power to help improve our mental health—a challenge I see impacting individuals, families, communities, and our society more than ever before. My sincere hope is that we all find a way that is right for each of us to feel great and flourish, because each of us is worthy of it and absolutely deserves it.
