Happy 9th Birthday, Baby Girl!
Happy birthday to my one and only! The love of my life! The apple of my eye! My precious darling angel cake.
You make me happier more than words can express.
I cherish every single nanosecond I get to spend with you. My heart explodes with oxytocin every single day even if all I’m doing is thinking of you.
I love you so much, Chara! You are the best thing to ever happen to me.

Intro to Freediving Workshop at Allentown Splash Park
Hi everyone!
I’m a local freediving instructor based in PG County, and I recently received approval to begin hosting introductory freediving workshops at Allentown Splash Park.
I wanted to share the first workshop here in case anyone is curious about freediving, breath-work, or becoming more comfortable and confident in the water.
This first workshop will be on June 6 and is:
- beginner-friendly
- completely dry (no water involved)
- focused on relaxation, breath awareness, and foundational freediving concepts
We’ll cover:
- how the body responds to breath-holding
- relaxation techniques used in freediving
- safety concepts
- optional guided dry breath-hold exercises
One of my goals with Freedive Renaissance is to make freediving more visible and accessible here in PG County, especially for people who may have always been curious about it but never knew where to start.
Happy to answer any questions!

You all really encouraged me to keep building this dream
A few months ago you all celebrated me becoming a freediving instructor… now I’m launching my first workshop!!
The response to my certification post honestly meant a lot to me. A lot of people reached out saying they were curious about freediving or had always wanted to try it, and I never forgot that.
So I wanted to come back and share a small update: I officially launched Freedive Renaissance, and I recently received approval to begin hosting introductory freediving workshops at a Prince George’s County aquatic facility.
This is SO exciting to me because one of my long-term goals has been to make freediving more visible and accessible within Black communities, especially here in PG County, where there are already so many people who love the water, swim, dive, or are simply curious about becoming more comfortable in aquatic spaces.
A lot of people think freediving is only about holding your breath for a long time or diving deep, but for many people it’s also:
This first workshop is completely dry (no water involved), but it feels like a HUGE win and meaningful first step toward a much bigger vision I’ve had for a while.
Anyway, I just wanted to come back and say THANK YOU again for all the encouragement when I first shared my instructor certification journey! It meant everything!!
