About
The Vision & The Promise
The vision for Rose & Flame Wellness began as a childhood promise.
After witnessing my father’s quiet and unpredictable mental decline, I watched a brilliant, deeply intelligent, artistically creative, and musically gifted man become increasingly trapped within his own mind. At just 8 years old, something within me began to shift. I spent a great deal of time with my father and his instruments, and like him, I was once a bright, imaginative, creative, and musically inclined child. But over time, as my father’s “illness” (emphasis on the quotation marks) grew heavier, parts of me slowly became quieter too. The creativity and confidence that once came naturally and the loving encouragement that my dad provided naturally began to fade, and I became shy, withdrawn, and what seemed and felt nearly invisible to many around me. I didn’t yet have the words to understand what I was feeling, only emotions that felt far too big for a child to carry. At that age, I lacked the emotional vocabulary to express the weight of it all. Yet within that silence, at the innocent age of 8, I made a quiet promise to myself: “When I grow up, I will help him.”
Unknowingly carrying a weight far too heavy for such a small child, I moved through my school years with a quiet sense of guilt and concern. I often struggled to focus, and while

no one on the outside could see it, my thoughts were frequently consumed with wondering, “I hope Daddy is okay.” Life moved forward, and that promise faded into the background as I raised my family and built a successful in-home early childhood education business. My children thrived academically and personally, and my students consistently exceeded milestones. I maintained full enrollment, a long waiting list, and was deeply committed to and loved every child I served. Yet through it all, while pouring into so many others, I didn’t realize I had forgotten the most important person… myself. At that time, I had never even heard of self-love and didn’t know I was in deep need of it.
Years later, after the pandemic, major life changes, and the loss of my dad, I was called back to my childhood promise. While grieving, I began intentionally investing in myself through multiple self-care and healing journeys, even while facing significant challenges from the outside world. Through faith and a deep sense of my dad’s presence beside me in spirit, I found the strength to keep going. Nearly four decades later, through my own life experiences, I came to a deeper understanding of what contributed to his decline: the weight of others’ expectations, misplaced energy, constant pressure, and a lack of boundaries, self-care, and both inner and outer support, things many of us were never taught.
At this time, I made a second promise to myself: to learn from his experiences and use that wisdom to ensure I would not follow the same path. What looked like loss and chaos to others became a powerful period of transformation, as I simultaneously, poured in to myself in a ways I never have in my life by focusing on my studies, healing, reconnecting with myself, and rediscovering the light I once carried as a child, the light I had always carried. Over time my father’s presence felt stronger, guiding me, helping me reconnect with memories, my creativity, and the essence of who I am. Today, while I couldn’t help him in the way I once imagined, I honor him by helping others protect their peace, strengthen their minds, establish boundaries, and reconnect with themselves.
Rose & Flame Wellness is both remembrance and renewal.
The promise did not end, it evolved, and now it serves.
Grow with the Flow
Meet Flow
Hello, I’m Flow, known by some as "Universal Flow" for my holistic wellness practices, coaching, and treatments, and also know by others as "Crazy Flow", reflecting my creativity as a color and art therapist. I am not perfect, nor do I aim to be. I serve as a vessel and bridge for insight and guidance, the Flow between realms, supporting your journey through love and light frequencies and holistic, spiritual, energetic, and creative practices.
Through personalized approaches such as grounding exercises, guided meditation, energy work, sound healing, chakra alignment, herbalism, aromatherapy, and creative therapies, I help you reconnect with your natural ability to heal. I do not “fix” people because I don't believe that neither of us are broken. Instead, I hold space, offering in-depth and intuitive insight, and provide guidance so you can rediscover the strength already within you.
Each person and their personal experiences are unique, so their journey should be to. True transformation honors that individuality, meeting you where you are and supporting growth in an authentic, sustainable way. This is the heart of Rose & Flame Wellness: to help you reconnect with your unique, authentic, inner power, release what no longer serves you, and align your mind, body, heart, and spirit in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space.
My clients and I do not need to share the same beliefs to benefit from my
work. I use the terms “Your Higher Source” or "Your Creator" to remain inclusive, whatever that means to you. As long as it comes from a place of love and an open mind, that is what truly matters. All that is needed is openness, genuine intention, and a willingness to grow.
In addition to "The Vision & The Promise (shared above)," I created Rose & Flame Wellness to offer honest, trustworthy guidance, helping others avoid the confusion I once experienced. From a young age, I carried what others call gifts, but didn’t recognize them, believing everyone shared "heightened intuition", "vivid imagination", and "deep creativity." As an adult, while exploring holistic and spiritual wellness, I felt both a strong inner knowing and uncertainty. Not all guidance I received was genuine, but those experiences became powerful lessons in healing, boundaries, and discernment.
Looking back, those moments strengthened me. Today, I walk in my purpose with clarity and intention, creating spaces where others feel supported, empowered, and guided in their own healing, elevation and self-discovery.
My work is rooted in unity. It is for everyone, regardless of background, with the intention of supporting collective growth and well-being.
As a Certified Holistic Wellness and Master Energy Practitioner, Color and Art Therapist, Motivational Life Coach, and Spiritual Guide, I integrate intuitive and shamanic practices with compassionate energy work. As a retired early childhood educator, I bring patience, empathy, and understanding to both children and adults.
I support clients navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, emotional blockages, energetic imbalances, inner child and trauma healing, sleep challenges, self-love, boundaries, energetic protection, creative blocks, self-expression, personal growth and self-development. My role is to guide you in building awareness, reconnecting deeply with yourself, and moving forward with clarity and intention.
Welcome, and thank you for choosing Rose & Flame Wellness. It is an honor to support you on your journey.
