Why are you a Cannabis Coach?
I love and honor the Cannabis plant, its history, and its health benefits. I want to share my personal story and what it is has done for my mind, body, spirit, and soul.
Cannabis helped me find my happy again and transformed my entire life.
I want to help destigmatize Cannabis and help others understand how amazing this plant medicine is and how it can work for them and transform their lives in a more natural and holistic way.
How has cannabis impacted your life?
Cannabis has deep roots in my family. My mother is from Thailand, and Cannabis was used in her country in cooking and for medicines. Cannabis has helped my father, a United States Marine Corp Veteran and a 27-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, cope with PTSD and chronic pain.
Cannabis has helped me cope with anxiety and stress and get restful sleep at night.
Cannabis has deep roots in my family and has impacted my work in the Cannabis industry not only on the physical aspect but a spiritual aspect as well. I honor and respect this amazing plant.
What are you fantastic at as a Coach? What’s your special sauce?

New Cannabis User Testimonial
“I appreciated having someone to talk to, not only about what I am learning about the cannabis plant but having Rena to discuss my WHOLE well-being. Having Rena as a guide and coach is uplifting and good for the soul. Rena embodies this principle, and it comes through in her sessions.
I am much more comfortable with cannabis use and education and feel a bit more in charge of my life. I am amazed at how my body reacts to different strains or how that cannabis plant can enter your system in a variety of ways… and I am no longer “frightened” to walk into a dispensary!!! Great program for growth.” – TH
Experienced User of Cannabis Testimonial
“I am a regular cannabis user and use it to help with my anxiety. Before working with Rena, I was overwhelmed by the different plant medicine modes. I wasn’t sure if I was using it correctly or how much of the medicine I was taking in.
Rena taught me the basics of cannabis, and we dove into the endocannabinoid system. Rena also helped with other parts of my life, like my sleep schedule, movement, and goal setting. I am happy to report that I know the correct dose for my needs and am not anxious anymore.
With the anxiety out of the way, I can efficiently work on [other] goals. I picked up some hobbies I thought I could never do. I have a dedicated cannabis wellness routine, and I continue to use plant medicine with intentionality. Thank You, Rena…you are a treasure!!” – ZM
