A spiritual teacher, artist and author, Biet was raised by an awakened Shaman to meditate as a toddler and has been on an inspirational spiritual path for 30+ years. Signed to Sony Records at the age of nineteen, she lived the rock ‘n’ roll glam life in New York City for years, until Biet finally fell to pieces as a heroin addict. In rapid succession, a near death experience, the tragic deaths of both her infant child and father, as well as a fire that burnt down her home, propelled her to sober up.  

As Biet moved from meltdowns to miracles, she began to teach meditation to private clients, eventually founding a one of a kind system, The Center of the CycloneTM meditation.
