Know Self, Know Peace.

The key to holistic healing and recovery is discovering the processes, tools, and support systems that honor and sustain your natural state of well-being.
We are born free. We are born whole. Healing is not about becoming something new — it is about returning to what has always been, (y)our self.
“Recovery is a process that results in self-liberation, the reclaiming of our natural-born freedom.”
Recovery, for me, is self-liberation — the ongoing, intentional practice of reclaiming who we are, who we’re becoming, and the lives we’re creating in real time. My creation of the Restorative Hospitality™ framework is an extension of that truth. I am grateful that the Creator entrusted me with the vision to build safe, supportive, culturally-rooted spaces for people who identify with recovery in all its forms.
Much like faith, recovery is self-defined: from addiction and mental health to domestic violence, grief, identity transitions, housing instability, burnout, and the quiet losses that shape our lives. Through my nonprofit, Mercy (MRCI) and it’s for-profit arm, The Rest Stop, I am committed to creating environments where people can rest, reconnect, and rebuild — where healing is honored, community is cherished, and liberation is lived.
