In 2018 and 2019, I embarked on a transformative sabbatical, traveling through Asia to immerse myself in diverse cultures. This journey profoundly shifted my focus toward spiritual transformation and personal development. During this time, I dedicated myself to studying and applying practices that cultivated mental and physical well-being, allowing me to grow into a more conscious and mindful individual. Although I wasn’t working professionally during this period, the experience was crucial for my personal growth, providing the foundation for my ongoing passion project, RAISE. This chapter of my life enriched my perspective and fueled my commitment to fostering holistic well-being.
