My self development journey

In my late 20’s I found myself depleted, after years of suppressed grief over the death of a close relative, heartbreak of a failed relationship, and caring for loved ones battling life threatening illnesses and addiction. I exhausted my energy by taking care of everyone else and putting myself last. I went inward; my internal light was dim. I hid behind my work. I worked hard, achieved results, obtained promotions. I found myself rewarded with more responsibility. The cycle was exhausting! It filled me with stress, anxiety and kept me small, disconnected from my feelings and my physical body. Seeking a way to reduce stress and anxiety led me to yoga, which became my gateway into meditation, mindfulness and other somatic practices. Guidance from embodied teachers and dedication to my practice helped me gain a new perspective on life and led me back into alignment with myself.

Integrating experiences & learning to flow with life

I personally came to find and integrate movement, mindfulness & meditation into my life. The practices taught me to slow down, reconnect to what I was feeling both in my body and in my heart. And with time my life began to flow with greater ease. Over time I learned to fully inhabit my body, use my breath as a tool, offer myself compassion, understand how my mind worked and know that the range of emotions I experience (pain & pleasure, joy & suffering) are all a part of the human experience. 

I began to find moments of stillness, created opportunities to get quiet, slow down and tune into my intuition, desires and dreams. Noticing when I was giving my mind priority and overriding the innate intelligence of my body. Honoring the wisdom of my heart and the ability to trust myself, my lived experiences and intuition. Simply said, when I learned to integrate my life experiences, and embrace my imperfections my life began to flow with more ease.

I am inspired to offer a variety of mindfulness, meditation, movement, and embodied leadership coaching experiences. I lead from my lived experience, my intuition and countless hours of training, practice and time on retreats. Beyond my work, I am a world traveler, dancer, lover of nature and creative pursuits.
