My Story.

My calling is service. My goal is to reduce suffering in the world.

It started with my own suffering. Stuck in addiction with little hope for the future, my path to recovery began when my mom, a yoga instructor, invited me to attend her class for the first time. After a series of poses that were completely foreign to my body, I had an emotional release that left me sobbing.

But afterward I felt so light and free.

My mom explained that we hold emotional energy in our bodies, and we can access and release that energy when we practice yoga. This new understanding changed my life forever, leading me to embark on a journey of healing that would one day overflow beyond myself and into my community.

After six years of personal practice, I embarked on the path to becoming a yoga teacher. Through years of study and training I built up a toolkit of practices that facilitate mental, physical and spiritual renewal—including yoga, sound healing, meditation and reiki. It has become my great honor and joy to serve others on this path of healing that is so close to my heart.
