I'm originally from Trinidad & Tobago.  I came to the United States at the age of 17 as a foreign student. It was not easy leaving my family and friends, but my Aunts stepped in to soften my landing.  I got my start in Brooklyn East New York.  I discovered the true essence, grit and beauty of what many refer to as the "concrete jungle," which draws multitudes of people from almost every nation on the planet. 

​

My interest in diverse cultures, human behavior, and social compositions of varied groups of people, intensified.  What inspired the birth of Gideonlife Therapeutic Mentoring Corp.?  As a child I struggled with self-esteem, debilitating cultural norms, understanding the world around me, or my purpose in it.  Teachers called me the dreamer, I was the one staring out the window, always curious.  Barely said a word in the classroom, but at home I could not stop asking questions.   The response"because that's just the way it is," only fueled my quest for answers.

Later Mental Health & Wellness became my focus. Twenty years of experience in social and restorative health, certainly helps to keep me grounded, allows me to see individuals and their stories from a panoramic vantage point.  My vision as a therapeutic mentor, restorative health and wellness coach and consultant, is to help people in their life long journey to healing and discovery.
