I have practiced yoga for the past 20 years. Though, it wasn’t until 2009 that my passion for it sparked. I was taking prenatal classes and during that time I remember feeling nurtured, seen and safe. My one class a week was my way to go inward, to find a sense of calm amongst the chaos of life. I thought everyone should feel what I felt when I was on the mat and that is when my teaching journey began. In 2012 I left my corporate job to share my love of yoga. Talk about a leap of Faith!

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved health and wellness. I enjoyed working out and pushing my body but even more than that, I loved the science behind the food. People would come to me for advice on their diet so I would prepare food plans for them based on where they were and what they hoped to achieve. Most people were concerned about weight loss which is a great place to start when wanting to get healthy. I learned early on that you can’t out work a bad diet. In the early 2000’s I competed in two figure competitions. I worked out twice a day and ate my weight in grams of animal protein on a daily basis. At one point during my training, I was eating 18 egg whites a day. I ate no fruit, because…too much sugar. To say hindsight is 20/20 is an understatement. I looked great on the outside but who knows what I was doing to my insides. My energy was low and I was most likely in adrenal fatigue. It has been proven time and time again that you can build muscle without animal protein. I personally know some of those amazingly strong plant-based athletes.

I have come a long way since those training days. I no longer prescribe a diet of high animal fat and low fruit, quite the opposite in fact. I don’t train twice a day at the gym. Through the lens of yoga I was able to touch that softer more spiritual self that had been there all along. I just needed to remember.

I love to partner with people who are ready to create a happier, healthier, more compassionate life. My mission hasn’t changed. It has evolved.
