Travel Enthusiast
I am passionate about yoga, meditation, energy work, well-being, and the therapeutic benefits of being on or near the water! I am excited to get to know you and support you along your wellness journey.
Yoga and other healing modalities have brought me a sense of peace, presence, and acceptance, which I am excited to share with each of you.
MY STORY
In July 2022, I resigned from my life as an international elementary teacher/reading specialist/literacy coach and from there everything changed! After 18 years in education and a lifetime of seeking a deeper sense of Self, I decided to take a year off to see where life took me. And I am so happy I did!
I solo traveled for a few months and then enrolled in a yoga teacher training with Dani Reidy, founder of Arrow Yoga. Yoga has always found a place in my life, no matter where I lived. I could go months without practicing and yet I would always come back to my mat. Once I got quiet and listened to what my body, heart & soul needed, things started shifting and life became easier.
2023- 2024 have been transformational years! I am now a yoga, breathwork, and meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and SUP instructor, combining my love of the water with wellness! Traveling will be added back into the mix very soon. And I hope you'll join me!
From the beginning...
Over two decades ago, while working at a gym in Towson, Maryland, I found yoga. Initially, it was just a post-workout cooldown, not a passion. It wasn't until I started teaching elementary school that a studio in Baltimore introduced me to the spiritual side of yoga, transforming my practice beyond the physical asana.
Game changer.
I found a welcoming and safe haven away from the stress and hustle of work. It was a place I could go when I needed calm and balance. The friendships I've developed with others in the wellness space are authentic, growth-oriented, and supportive.
Yoga has always been an anchor that grounded me and helped me connect to myself and others. While living in Morocco and Taiwan and traveling abroad, I explored different cultural and spiritual practices. Practicing yoga around the world and in different languages, helped me realize that on my mat, I could find calm, comfort, and confidence. No matter where I am, when I'm on my mat or cushion, I can always find safety and trust within myself. I want others to find that same connection with themselves.
My Why
About 10 years ago, I was "diagnosed" with Fibromyalgia, so finding holistic ways to heal chronic pain, inflammation, brain fog, and stress was important to me. I have many food sensitivities and have visited many different doctors, so it was important that I was getting to the root cause of my problems.
As I learn more about the historical, philosophical, metaphysical, and medicinal aspects of yoga, plant medicine, and natural remedies, I have found ways to relieve my symptoms, blending Eastern and Western medicine.
I am committed to sharing all I've learned with you to support you on your own wellness journey, whether you're experiencing burnout, health concerns, or just want to experience more joy in your life.
I bring my love of teaching, empowering others, and nurturing relationships into all aspects of my offerings.
My mission is to support each of you to feel good in your body, so you can thrive in life, both personally and professionally.
