" I am called to help others see who they truly are at their core. It comes naturally to me to use my own life experiences to teach and help others find their way. Yoga and meditation is a one of the main tools I offer to help them do so."
I am a wife and Mother of three amazing humans who I am honored to raise and experience this beautiful life with. However, I did not always feel this gratitude. I grew up with life experiences that were hard to deal with as a child. It showed up in the form of anger and rebellion and at 19 years old I was pregnant. Because I am human, on days when I feel the residue of that trauma, I retreat to my mat. In fact, I start every day on my mat. This does not take away any issues I have, but it helps me face them with more clarity and understanding. This is what I want to offer my students. A practice to guide them through this life with grace.
