About Briana 

Growing up

Briana grew up in a small place called Mebane, North Carolina by her grandmother and great-grandparents who were tobacco farmers.  Growing up in the country, with no neighbors and making a trip to the store being referred to as "going to town" was not an everyday luxury in her childhood.  She remembers her great-grandmother growing a garden, canning the harvest, making homemade everything, home-remedies and wise tale to accompany. Briana headed to the big city to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where she studied Business Management.

Life

Shortly, after graduating college she met her husband and experienced motherhood. While working in corporate America and navigating life as a wife and mother, Briana has navigated many of life’s challenges head on.

After the birth of her middle son, she would navigate her son’s cystic fibrosis diagnosis which involved learning how to care for and learn about the disease while in years of litigation. Seeking healing, Briana enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training to better serve others suffering from anxiety and depression. Shortly after she became Reiki 1 & 2 certified. During 2020, she suffered burnout and took a leave of absence from work, started therapy and became a Strategic Self Care Ambassador.

Wellness

Briana uses the tools from ongoing therapy, yoga, meditation, reiki, essential oils and herbs as ways to calm her mind, body, and spirit. Feeling empowered through the support of those tools, Briana wanted to share with others. Recently, content creation has become another therapeutic outlet that is used to share various adventures that Briana takes with her family while highlighting her experiences visually.
