My Inspiration
While working as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital setting, I felt drawn towards hospice and became a Liaison with Hospice Maui shortly before I was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine tumor. Through each of these experiences, I began to question if the general avoidance of death might limit one’s capacity to fully live in ways that are not apparent until it’s too late, and created Alive for Now from there. I enjoy yoga, lucid dreaming practices, deep conversations, connecting with others that have rare conditions, and moving to new places.
