Creating The Breast Archives emerged from a convergence of passions: a deep-rooted belief in body-based healing, a lifelong love of storytelling—especially documentary, which has always captivated me—my experiences in women’s spaces, and a fascination with ancient cultures. Together, these threads sparked a global, curiosity-driven inquiry into our learned disconnection from the body—and the surprising power of the breast as a portal to self-knowing.

The true catalyst came during an unplanned overnight inside the King’s Chamber within the Great Pyramid of Egypt. In that charged and sacred space, I experienced a surge of insight—what I can only describe as a cosmic download—revealing an ancient, breast-based wisdom encoded in women’s bodies. With this platform I honor my grandmothers, whose love and good humor have guided my passion for travel, storytelling and discovery.

Thank you for being here. I’m grateful to share this journey of remembrance and empowerment with you.
