BIO 

I'm a yoga teacher and wellness coach offering hybrid sessions—online and in-person—that help people reconnect to themselves in simple, meaningful ways. 

Rooted over 1600 hours of training and real-life experience, my work blends movement, breath, nervous system support, and mindset coaching. Clients often say it’s not just about how they move—but how they feel, live, and show up differently. 

I call it the alchemy of everyday life: yoga not as escape, but as a way of being—whether on the mat, mundane life tasks, or navigating real emotions.
