Growing up, I was an extremely sensitive child with deep compassion for others. In a sense, I was always looking out for the underdog because I felt deep down, I was one, too. It took me some time to figure out how my compassion could benefit others, but once I did, I have been on a mission of compassionate healing and I haven’t looked back. My way of helping the underdog has changed its shape many times, but my core value of supporting those who need something a little different than what mainstream society has to offer still holds true.

​

After growing disillusioned by the corporate world not filling my soul and my dharma, I went to graduate school to receive a Master of Arts in Teaching as a special education teacher. I worked in public schools for many years before deciding to stay home to raise my kids while consulting and advocating for those in need. My introduction to yoga came shortly after the birth of my second child and I had no idea what an incredible journey it would be. On a quest to never stop learning, I became an ADHD coach in order to further understand and support those whose minds diverge from the standard. As I continued advocating for both my children and others in need, I eventually went back to teaching.

​

Through a series of impactful events, I decided to become a yoga teacher. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Because of my own experience with trauma, I knew that I wanted to specialize in trauma-informed yoga and somatic work to help my students release those stories that are holding them back from achieving their full potential.

​

A bottom-up approach to recovery, along with my deep compassion has been tremendously impactful to my healing journey as well as to those of my clients. I see the light in each individual and want to help each student reclaim that light within themselves.

With gratitude,
