My Story

As a child I was raised holistically, learning from a young age natural alternatives to western medicine. When I was 7 my parents took me and my elder sister out of school traveling around the world, visiting monasteries, and showing us the wonders of different cultures. Staying in villages and becoming exposed to these diverse cultures at such a young age truly taught me namasté; this deep sacred connection with each other and nature.

As an adult I have researched the most current and most effective practices for wellness and preventative health. These include the latest in respiratory health, physiology, trauma informed care, Yoga Therapy, Vini Yoga, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Ayurveda and multi-cultural wellness tools from Capacitar International.

I look forward to hearing your story and working with you.
