Nutrition has been my source of healing. Dietary nourishment played a significant role while healing from illness, injury, food allergy, and Gi distress. Amidst my personal wellness journey and education endeavors, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from a nutritionist, nutrition coach, sports performance nutritionist, and integrative Medical Doctor. I’ve been the patient enduring testing, diagnosis, supplemental regiments, dietary restrictions, and elimination diets. As I stand at the summit of my steep and up-hill journey to wellness, I am energized to lend a hand to others; to make their journey more easeful, grace-filled, and delicious!

Yoga, as a personal practice and way of life, naturally evolved in me. The interwoven creation of ALL of my experiences and passions- Art, Biology, Athletics, Adventure, Faith, Travel- guided me here. In the beginning yoga allowed be to reestablish a trust with my formerly perceived “broken body.” It provided a space for exploration, creative expression, and nourishing movement. In 2021, I dove deeper and completed a 200 hour YTT at the Traveling Yoga Studio. Here, I learned the literal translation of the word yoga, to yolk. Beyond this translation, the yogic practice and way of being continues to not just remind me but empower me to notice and engage with all the parts of my spirit and body that unite to make me, me. I feel honored to have the opportunity to guide you through yoga asana to encourage exploration, recognition, and embracement of the whole you.
