I am a space holder, artist, movement teacher, sound practitioner, meditation guide, & breathwork facilitator based out of Orange County, CA. I bridge modern day research and the knowledge from my education in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Eastern Medicine to help individuals reawaken to the magic that is present inside themselves.

I discovered yoga during a time of my life where I desperately needed all the benefits that the practice had to offer. During my early teens I was in and out of the hospital for chronic pain, aching joints, and a weak immune system. After countless visits and tests, I was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia. You can say that this was divine intervention. I eventually started seeing a Eastern Medicine Doctor and he recommended that I try yoga and well ... here I am. Soon after that I decided to do a yoga teacher training. It was during my teacher training where one of the required readings was a book called “The Artist’s Way” did I really start to tap into my creative potential, which opened up a pathway for me to share my art. 

I have gone through extensive training in yoga therapeutics, meditation, breathwork, dynamic vinyasa, pre-natal yoga, trauma informed yoga, sound healing, and functional movement and mobility. I am also currently pursuing a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture. Curating classes, meditations, and holding sacred space is a form of art that I am passionate about sharing 

While offering this work, I have had the pleasure of working individually with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, hosting large events for weddings, bridal, and baby showers, being an educator and teacher for Fortune 100 companies, working as a teacher at a progressive school district offering yoga and meditation to youth, leading retreats, hand hosting educational workshops on mindfulness, breath work, and meditation.
