Gogo’s Corner: A Self Care Initiative™ 

My journey into healing and self-discovery started when I was young. I have always had an insatiable curiosity for learning, and understanding how the universe works has been one of my greatest fascinations. This innate sense of wonder led me to Spacial Dynamics in 2005, marking the true beginning of my journey to find myself and discover my purpose on this earth.

 

Spacial Dynamics became my first real introduction to myself--my body, my movements, and my presence in space. I committed to flying from my hometown of Chicago to New York three times a year for over five years, completing Level 1 while simultaneously attending Level 2 and Level 3 courses. Through this practice, I learned how my posture was a crucial key to staying energized and healthy. More than that, I uncovered a profound connection between movement and inner balance, which set me on a transformative path of self-discovery. The deeper I delved into my physical awareness, the more I felt a spiritual calling rising within me--one that would ultimately lead me to the sacred path of becoming a Sangoma.

 

In 2012, I embarked on an intense spiritual training to become a Priestess. This initiation was more than a title; it was a complete reshaping of my identity and perception of existence. The path was rigorous, pushing me beyond my limits while revealing layers of healing I had yet to uncover. One day that stands out in my mind is when my Baba, my teacher, instructed us simply to "sit and meditate for one hour." No guidance, no explanations—just stillness. We sat every single day for an entire year, and in that space of silence, I discovered that meditation is not just a practice but a portal to the soul.

 

Upon completing my Sangoma Priestess initiation in South Africa in 2013, my hunger for knowledge deepened. I knew my purpose was to help others reclaim their power through healing, and so I immersed myself in various modalities that aligned with this mission. My journey through Spacial Dynamics had already refined my ability to guide individuals toward embodied awareness, helping them release stagnant energy and restore balance within themselves. Now, with the spiritual depth of my Sangoma training, I was beginning to understand healing in its fullest spectrum—bridging movement, breath, and spirit.

 

In 2015, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist, further expanding my ability to facilitate healing through touch. The power of bodywork revealed how trauma and emotional stress manifest physically, and I learned to integrate my spiritual training with tangible, therapeutic techniques. My passion for holistic well-being continued to grow, leading me to explore energy work, breathwork, and intuitive healing practices that supported deeper transformation. As my journey evolved, so did my practice—I began not only meditating but also facilitating meditation for others, guiding them toward stillness and self-awareness, just as I had once been guided.

 

Then came 2020—the year that reshaped everything. The world shifted seemingly overnight, exposing just how disconnected many people were from their own bodies, emotions, and spirits. As a healer, I saw first hand the toll that isolation, stress, and uncertainty were taking on people. My work as a massage therapist placed me face-to-face with individuals struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, and a loss of self. It became clear that healing had to extend beyond individual sessions; it had to become a way of life.

 

This realization gave birth to Gogo’s Corner: A Self-Care Initiative. This platform was created to help people reclaim their inner harmony through self-care, mindfulness, and movement. Whether through meditation, breathwork, massage, or energetic healing, my mission is to empower individuals to nurture their own well-being.

 

The convergence of my work—as a Sangoma, a movement therapist, a massage therapist, and a meditation facilitator—has shaped me into the Priestess and Healer I am today. Each discipline has woven into the fabric of my practice, allowing me to serve as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern healing. This path is deeply personal, yet meant to be shared. I invite you to walk this journey with me—to explore, to heal, and to grow. Together, we will create a more mindful, balanced, and awakened world.

Welcome to Gogo’s Corner—where self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity.
