Migo
Beyond the Name
Migo is a multi-medium artist, wellness educator, and mental health advocate with a background in nutrition and holistic well-being. She began her career in the Air Force as a Nutrition & Wellness Educator, but her passion for whole-person wellness deepened as she navigated her own journey with undiagnosed mental illness and being on the spectrum.
Her artistic practice became a natural extension of this journey—blending creativity with mindfulness as a means of self-exploration and balance. Through WHOISMIGO, she shares insights from her lived experience, offering a space for storytelling, mindfulness practices, and creative expression as tools for self-discovery. She also created CreativeMigo as the visual counterpart to WHOISMIGO, showcasing her artistic practice alongside her mindfulness advocacy.
Beyond her personal work, Migo collaborates with community partners to collectively bring mindfulness-centered creative tools to a broader audience. Whether through art, writing, or education, her mission remains the same: to inspire others to explore new ways of being.
Journey to Authentic Self.
A Letter to You.
If you’ve found yourself here, maybe you’re searching for something more. I know that feeling.
In 2015, I hit my breaking point. I had been unknowingly living with undiagnosed mental illness and the reality of being on the spectrum, surviving in ways that no longer worked. A nervous breakdown and suicide attempt forced me to confront it all. Psychiatric medication was required to stabilize the crisis, Psychotherapy shortly thereafter, and the slow process of unlearning and rebuilding followed.
At first, I thought healing meant fixing what was broken. Instead, I learned that it was about discovering new ways to exist—trading destructive behaviors for healthy habits, numbing coping mechanisms for mindfulness practices like art, meditation, and yoga. Over time, I found that what I was learning was mindfulness. It wasn’t just a tool; it was a way of moving through life with intention.
​
WHOISMIGO was birthed from this Journey to Authentic Self. It is the space where I share what I’ve learned, not as an expert but as someone who has walked this path and is still walking it. Here, you’ll find candid reflections, creative expression, and the mindfulness practices that have helped me along the way.
​
If you’re searching too, maybe something here will speak to you. Maybe you’ll find a piece of what you need. Either way, thank you for being here, for seeing my work, and for allowing me to share a piece of my heart with you.
​
I hope my journey inspires you to embark on your own, and I’m honored to be even a small part of it.
