Beyond Mind Holistic Services is a brand that has been built with the founder’s alignment and intention of purely “helping others” through her own lived experience.
I created this brand through my own insight, intuition, wisdom, faith, and understanding that everything I had been through in my hardest days with OCD was always leading me somewhere and the journey I was on with OCD was never going to be for nothing.
“Even when I didn’t understand it at the time.”
Parental OCD and OCD was something that brought me to my knees, this condition was grueling to endure but through enduring it I found my voice and life purpose.
OCD threatened to take away everything I loved the most in my life but it was in these moments that I made the firm decision that I wasn’t going to allow OCD to do this to me.
I stood in between OCD and my way of life, and while doing this I rebuilt myself from the ground up and developed a resilience that got me through my darkest days.
From the initial diagnosis of OCD, I decided that “this wasn’t going to be my life”. I wasn’t going to allow OCD to take away everything that was important to me.
And I defied OCD and its unrelenting attacks on my mind, body, and soul.
OCD broke my heart into a million pieces from its initial onset but it was a firm decision to fight back that I began to rebuild and live my life on my terms and not OCD’s, no matter how hard OCD tried to stop me with its unrelenting fury.

An Open Letter to OCD:
As I write this open letter to OCD, I hold a very deep understanding these words aren’t just for me but for many, many others.
OCD you threatened to take away everything I loved the most in my life.
With your grueling torture, your horrific intrusive thoughts and images, with your unrelenting attacks and you tried to make me believe ALL of your lies.
But OCD…
What you didn’t bargain on was my own resilience and courage to fight back!
OCD with every single lie that you whispered in my ear “I chose not to react”.
Even when my own body was inflicted with paralyzing fear.
I stood in ALL of your fury, and when the panic attacks came through my head like a furnace of fire ravaging my brain, I stood in it.
Defying you and your power, I held on through it ALL.
As you tried to captivate my entire mind and attention with your lies, intrusive thoughts and images.
I learned how to take that power away from you.
OCD what you didn’t count on was my ability to learn exactly who you were and what you wanted.
And in this knowing I learned not to give you an inch!
OCD you may have come to take everything I loved the most in my life but what you didn’t count on was my unrelenting will NOT to give it to you!
OCD you underestimated me!
Because there has always been a very deep residing factor to me.
“I believe in myself and this belief is what gave me victory over you!”
You will NEVER have what I love the most in my life.
From,
The “one” who has “victory” over “you” and the many, many more who are coming up behind me in pursuit of conquering you!
