Being given up for adoption at 3 years old, Corissa moved to the United States to be raised by a new family who didn’t look, sound, or act anything like what she was used to.  This led to a deep sense of abandonment and uncertainty about her identity.

Corissa adapted. She had to. And in the process, she locked all of her needs, hurts, and traumas away where they wouldn’t interfere with the success of her life. Other childhood traumas piled upon the already shaky foundation.

There were some dark times.

Thankfully, she had been asking herself some big questions like, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” as she explored different metaphysical, religious, and spiritual philosophies. This curiosity carried her bludgeoned spirit to study abroad at the University of California, Irvine and onto an epic adventure with an unintended spiritual awakening.

On a mountainside in New Zealand, she experienced the Oneness of all that is. The light of the universe enveloped her and emanated from her. She was given the knowledge she was seeking … that she was one with everything, and her purpose was to light up her life and help others do the same.
