My purpose has been shaped by the healing I’ve done within myself.

Through yoga, teaching, leading, and navigating life’s big transitions, I’ve discovered a path rooted in self-compassion. My hope is to support others in accessing their own transformation.

I don’t just teach movement or mindfulness—I hold space for others to feel safe, to belong, and to express themselves freely. That’s no accident. It comes from someone who knows what it’s like to feel lost, disconnected, and unseen—and who is bravely doing the work to find their way home. My core wound isn’t a weakness; it’s the beginning of my story. And my purpose is how I’m alchemizing it into something powerful, loving, and generous.
