I found yoga in an unexpected place – on a massage table in 2007. I was there seeking relief from fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome. The massage therapist, a woman decades older than me with the same ailments, but moving with such strength, shared that yoga was her secret. Inspired, I signed up for massage therapy school and rolled out my first yoga mat. Life took some hard turns after that. Addiction pulled me away from everything good – my massage work, yoga, my family, and myself. I eventually found my way to recovery and back to life.

In 2020, my best friend practically dragged me to a hot yoga class one early rainy morning. There, dripping with sweat, matching movement to breath, I felt something shift inside me. That moment sparked a lifelong change in me, and I have devoted myself to the practice every day since. Yoga changed everything for me – it changed how I live my life. I find peace in my body, clarity in my mind, and a connection to something greater than myself.

Yoga is a precious gift, and it fills my heart to share it. Everyone deserves to find their way back to themselves. That's why I teach, to empower people to rediscover themselves, to develop an embodied practice that radiates outward. I offer a safe space for healing, growth, and becoming.

I know what it's like to be lost. I also know what it's like to find your way back. Let me walk with you on this path. Together, we can discover the strength that's already inside you. Life gives us all different wounds to heal from. But here's what I've learned: wounds become windows, curiosity leads to discovery, and every person’s journey of healing adds to humanity’s collective consciousness.

In a world that's telling us to be something else, the bravest thing we can do is be ourselves. It's not always easy. Sometimes it's terrifying. But this journey to finding yourself? It's the most important work you'll ever do.
