My own healing journey began when I was studying Psychology in college in Boulder. During this time, I endured a significant amount of grief and loss. My therapist at the time suggested that I try out yoga as a way to possibly find some relief and ease from my suffering. The first time I took yoga, it changed the course of my life. I fell in love with the way my body felt immensely safe and at home on my yoga mat. I became fascinated by the idea that feeling relief in the body could allow for significant positive changes to occur in the mind. Yoga allowed my mind to finally quiet and shift from fearful to empowering thoughts. This catalyzed my interest in the mind/body connection and trauma healing.

After graduating from college in Colorado, I completed my first yoga teacher training in India. When I returned home to Los Angeles following my journey in India, I felt a deep spiritual calling to help others deepen their connection to their own body, heart, and spirit. I became especially inspired to merge Western Holistic health modalities with Eastern philosophies such as yoga and meditation. I am committed to helping others find healing from painful life experiences so they may live the life they truly desire. 

I believe deeply in this work because I have taken my own healing journey from a traumatic past to a sense of well-being and resiliency in the present. Through my own trauma therapy as well as my work as a trauma-Informed yoga instructor and trauma therapist, I have experienced how our body/minds have an innate ability to release trauma and be restored to ease and balance. I feel grateful every day for the privilege of walking with others on their own paths of healing.
