About

About Me: Faith & Soul Care
​My Testimony & Approach : From the Courtroom to the Prayer Room
For more than 23 years, I served as an environmental lawyer, global advocate and mentor navigating the complexities of diplomacy and justice. Moreover being an air force trainee and ecosystem nature law auditor gave me a global conscious stewardship of our role in this Earth and GOD’ s Sovereign Goodness over everyone and everything as Daniel 4:35 says. Today, as a retired environmental lawyer and ECO Diplomacy conferencist, being part in world-class sessions at the United Nations and worked alongside global leaders, I began to feel a deeper stirring to advocate for the human soul. I transitioned from defending environmental policy to defending the mental and spiritual well-being of those on the front lines.

My true identity and calling ordained by JESUS was revealed by His encounter. I realized that while laws can change a landscape, only Biblical Truth is the Life, the Way that can change a heart.Today, I am a follower of JESUS, a wife, and a Pastoral Care dedicated to the “Soul Care” of people in every piece of land and of those who serve others. My background allows me to bring a unique perspective of discipline and advocacy to my mental health coaching and future licensed Biblical Counseling, helping clients navigate their deepest crises with CHRIST Spiritual Authority and Counseling excellency.

Biblical Foundation & Focused Ministry

This led me to serve GOD and worship Him dedicated to know more about who JESUS was, is and always will be. Pursuing my Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies, becoming a Certified AACC Mental Health Coach & Master MH Youth and Military+First Responders Diplomas. I transitioned from defending environmental policy to defending the mental and spiritual well-being of those on the front lines by His Grace.

My work is grounded in the belief that true transformation happens when we align our mental health with GOD’s WORD where the intersection of Biblical truth and mental health receives your TRUE identity given by Him. Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, He/She is a new Creation, the old things are passed away, and all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

How I Incorporate Biblical Teachings
My sessions are not just talk—they are grounded in the Authority of Scripture where the supernatural rest that only JESUS CHRIST provides is received!. I don’t just offer coaching; I offer a strategic, scripture-based path to victory for every “warrior” I serve, incorporating:

* Spiritual Fortitude: Using the “Armor of GOD” (Ephesians 6) as a practical framework for mental resilience to find the rest and renewal promised in Scripture..
* Identity in CHRIST: Helping clients ground their identity in who GOD says they are, rather than their past experiences.Focusing on resilience and post-traumatic growth.
* Kingdom Perspective: Applying the same discipline I used in international law to help clients govern their thoughts and emotions through the Holy Spirit,for all the Weary & Overwhelmed.

​Favourite Scriptures

Ephesians 1:7″He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins.” Because GOD loved us first, my approach brings deliverance and freedom where the Son sets free indeed.
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.”  Guiding others to stand and meditate in His WORD.
Ephesians 6:10-18: This guides my approach to spiritual warfare and equipping my Clients with the full Armor of GOD.
Isaiah 40:31: A foundational truth for this journey, reminding us that those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
