About
Hi I’m Rose!
Starting Stellar Transformation was personal for me. As an intuitive Occupational Therapist with 14 years experience, I saw the gap in the western medicine model, especially as it relates to mental health for Black Americans and Immigrant families. I also saw the need for support of all the daughters of Immigrants who fulfilled their obligations to their families and cultures, achieved success only to wonder, “Is this it?”
Looking back, I realized I wasn’t given the tools to navigate life as a First Generation Haitian woman growing up in America. I struggled with culture clash with my parents, including when it came to money, expectations related to motherhood, career and education, just to name a few. In my journey, I invested in mindset trainings of Silicon Valley executives, and millionaire mindset programs. And I still felt imposter syndrome.
Cliff notes of my life 📖 :
✅ pre-med turned occupational therapist
✅ earned degrees
✅ got married
✅ birthed babies 👶🏾👶🏾
✅ run a private practice
✅ achieved American dream!
✅ EXPERIENCED BURNOUT, SELF DOUBT, UNAPPRECIATED & DIDN’T FEEL FULFILLED despite the trappings of success!
Meanwhile, my personal life was in turmoil. In a short matter of time, I had to learn to manage womb to tomb life milestones: raising children while handling the death of parents, death of a marriage, caregiving for sick parents, end of life caregiving, end of life planning, and estate planning.
Life gave me a crash course in finding myself, my purpose, by taking away everything I held onto that defined me … my parents, my then husband, and even my identity; I discovered I was secretly adopted.
I felt like I died.
And I did… in order to discover who I TRULY was. I had no other choice but to nurture my identity, prioritize my wellbeing to find purpose and inner fulfillment. As a result, I’ve mastered the art of soul searching.
These struggles allowed me to be a vessel to support other women in navigating life’s obstacles successfully. This is what compelled me to combine my expertise in brain and human development, my lived experiences, and my business skills. This is how Stellar Transformation was born.
I’m now on the other side, extending my helping hand to help other First Generation Woman on this lonely journey.
If this resonates with you, I’m here to assure you that you are not alone.
You deserve peace of mind, to be valued, be fulfilled, and to enjoy a life you’re excited to wake up to!
Going to the United Nations school, I experienced first hand the similarities and expectations of First Generation students, especially girls.
Some of my education credentials include a master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Samuel Merritt College in Oakland. I own and run a private practice, and am a public speaker and keynote. I am certified in the Starr Commonwealth Trauma and Resilience program. I’m also trained and certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol by Dr. Stephen Porges.
My personal journey forced me to learn about generational trauma & healing, migration-related trauma, epigenetics, the negative health impact of systemic racism, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
I grew up in the cultural melting pot of the world, New York and have an interesting educational background. A fun fact about me is that I attended the United Nations International School from kindergarten through 12th grade. This gave me in-depth knowledge of a variety of cultures, and I got to experience the similarities in cultural expectations that shape our lifestyles. A unique and very fulfilling experience!
I am passionate about helping women overcome self-doubt and free themselves from harmful mindsets that are holding them back. The world will be so much better when women discover their true power.
