Hello there!
My name is Jasmine and I am the owner and primary author of this blog. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY and I currently reside in South Florida, USA.
Since I was a child, I was in love with writing and exploration.
Quite the introvert, I would use my composition book and write short stories complete with my drawings as illustrations. I remember reading one of my stories to my brother as he encouraged me to keep going. I was also an imaginative adventure seeker. I would create stories about places I never been to, but I have visited in my dreams.
By seven, I was practicing my cursive handwriting having perfected my mother’s signature right down to slant from the start. Writing was something that was innate for me and so it took very little effort.
Over the years, my intense focus on writing was now shifted on staying in school and advancing. By high school, my love for it was rekindled. I had a great English teacher who encouraged me to keep writing after he read a poem I wrote. After that, I pursue it with great vigor but was encouraged to pursue a career that was more stable instead. I looked into the healthcare industry and took jobs in the field helping people. However, I did take a few classes in college in creative writing to work on my craft.
During that time, I dabble in web design. I taught myself how to write html codes and create art using Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Publisher, and Macromedia Fireworks. In a matter of months, I knew html codes by heart and still use it to my advantage.
Looking back, I have spent most of my professional life (about 16 years!) in the healthcare field where I slowly built my life around radiation therapy. I became a licensed radiation therapist in 2008. I told myself that I will give it ten years to stay in therapy and after that I am progressing onward.
During that time, I traveled to many places- Egypt, England, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, St. Maarten, and others including U.S. cities. Having advanced professionally rather quickly, I wanted to complete my college baccalaureate degree in my other interest- Business Administration, more specifically in creative entrepreneurship in 2011. I worked in a full-time position meanwhile. I gave myself a year to complete my degree and I did. I graduated on my birthday in December 2011.
I decided to try my hand at teaching what I knew in therapy as I slowly transition out of the clinical area altogether. In less than ten years, I reach my goal of ending my clinical practice in therapy in 2015.
I was drawn to a new path—one that would empower individuals to reclaim their health from a holistic perspective. I harnessed the potential of my personal social media platform to share my knowledge and experiences.
This platform became a space for teaching and empowerment, inspiring others to make informed choices about their well-being. It marked the beginning of my digital journey and set the stage for the evolution that followed.
Recognizing the need to amplify my message, I launched a wellness blog. Through this blog, I provided valuable insights, tips, and resources on holistic health and self-care.
Building on this, I founded Love Box Brew, a womb wellness company. This venture reflects my commitment to nurturing women’s health and well-being. Through Love Box Brew, I offer products and services that support and empower women on their holistic health journey. It is now predominantly an online space for digital products centered on holistic health to service customers and businesses alike.
My multimedia journey took flight with Aurora Meditations, my YouTube channel. As the narrator, I provide guided meditations and content that promote mental and emotional well-being. It’s a platform for mindfulness and self-discovery, helping individuals find inner peace and balance.
My creative endeavors extend to Jam & Jazz Homestead, a project celebrating sustainable living and homesteading. This reflects my commitment to a harmonious and balanced way of life.

My journey from a radiation therapist to a holistic wellness advocate and blogger has been filled with challenges, growth, and immense fulfillment. It’s a testament to the power of following one’s heart and embracing a purpose-driven life. I am dedicated to continuing this journey, empowering others to take control of their well-being, sharing practical advice and making a positive impact on the world—one holistic choice at a time.
