I was born and raised in Central Florida where I grew up doing musical theater, stand up comedy, and hair modeling. I went to my first yoga class back in 2014 after a friend convinced me to tag along. I fell in love with the breath work, the muscle relaxing, and the serotonin overflow. Funny enough, it was an instructor years after who pulled me aside and told me I should consider teaching yoga. 4 months later, that same instructor signed off on my 200 hour certification. 3 weeks later, COVID-19 hit and I suddenly lost my job and had no studio to teach with my fresh and eager set of skills. Good times! I went back to college after 8 years from focusing on an acting career to study psychology where I am specifically studying to become an LMFT & Gottman therapist and mental health professional. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been teaching and practicing yoga with all kinds of clients such as seniors, postpartum mothers, clients with missing limbs, recent surgeries, trauma survivors, etc. I’m a firm believer that yoga is for everybody. You can also catch me leading yoga, training, and teaching in Austin, TX.

Keep it simple; find equilibrium.

My full attention, very intentional questions, a specific program built for them, and A LOT of collaboration!

One client who didn’t have much of any history of regular exercise and/or nutrition education. Just a few months of going over proper nutrition and portioning, regular exercise practicing, and most importantly, gratifying the experience, he’s lost over 40 pounds and doesn’t need me anymore!

Reading, running, and traveling.
