While in intensive treatment for my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I yearned for little bits of normalcy. I was in recovery after suicidal planning and coming to terms with the condition that has unknowingly haunted me since childhood.

I was no stranger to doctors as I had a handful of physical disabilities. Returning to the “real world” after experiencing trauma is not typical; many people feel they have no process to turn to. The medical terminology tied around my treatment and the academic-like words I saw in journals and routine planners felt stale and dry. I couldn’t focus or relate to them. I entered the design industry to bridge the gap between public health and creativity. I wanted to create something personal and wasn’t just another template-like product. I decided to design a new way of thinking and planning. A way that considers mental health like no planner has done before. A process that took into consideration my very human limitations and limiting beliefs.

I then taught my method to over 3,000 individuals online and in 1:1 coaching, and I've been able to help many people across the world of all ages, genders, and backgrounds find balance.

Where The Wildflowers Grow uses garden and nature analogies to walk a user through 35 pages of mindset shifting followed by a daily plan of 365 pages that puts those learnings into action, this daily planner encourages you to focus on priorities, make healthy goals and success statements, reflect and be aware of limitations and limiting beliefs, and plant daily happiness, learnings, nourishment, and even medication.

This product has an option of both a hardcover and beautiful matte finish on premium heavyweight paper and color printing or spiral bound for easy flipping and daily use. The vintage colors were carefully selected to create gentle stimulation and remove overwhelming emotions. All art designs are watercolored by me, hoping to create inspiration on every page.

Where The Wildflowers Grow will be available internationally at the end of summer 2023, and I can’t wait to see what grows from it.
