Picture this: I was stressed and chasing a dream that wasn't mine. Even though I'd been practicing yoga since my teens, it wasn't until my late 20s that I discovered its deeper wisdom. Yoga and mindfulness taught me to trust myself and find peace even when life got crazy. This journey led me to simplify my life. Now in my mid-40s I'm dedicated to guiding women in discovering their own path to fulfillment and inner peace. This path isn't always easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. 

Are you ready to live more intentionally, trust yourself deeply, and truly LOVE your life? 

I get it ...
I've been there too.

That deep sense of knowing who you are and why you're here. It's that feeling of being in perfect harmony with yourself and the world around you. For many women in midlife, this sensation can feel like a distant memory, buried under layers of responsibilities, expectations, and the daily grind.

But here's the thing - that vibrant, purposeful you isn't gone. She's still there, waiting to be rediscovered. And that's exactly what we're here to do together. Through mindful yoga practices, intuitive breathwork, and practical wellness techniques, I guide women like you to peel back those layers of stress and self-doubt. We'll quiet the noise of "shoulds" and "musts," and tune into the wisdom of your inner voice. It's time to reignite your spark, realign with your authentic self, and step confidently into this beautiful, complex stage of life. Are you ready to feel truly alive again?

Remember when you last felt truly alive and aligned with your purpose?

My journey to mindfully designing a wildly aligned life wasn't a straight path. Like many women in midlife, I spent years juggling multiple roles - career woman, caregiver, partner - always trying to be everything to everyone.

The pressure to have it all together led me down a path that wasn't truly mine. I found myself climbing the corporate ladder, chasing success as defined by others, all while feeling increasingly disconnected from my true self. I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there had to be more to life than this endless cycle of stress and unfulfillment.

It was only when I embraced a holistic approach to wellness that things began to shift. By integrating yoga with mindfulness practices, breathwork, and cognitive behavioral techniques, I discovered a powerful toolkit for transformation. This blend not only helped me reclaim my sense of purpose and inner peace, but also ignited a passion to guide other women on this journey.

Now, as a Yoga Coach, I blend my expertise as a registered yoga teacher, holistic health coach, Reiki practitioner, and CBT life coach to guide women like you in rediscovering your authentic self and embracing the richness of midlife with confidence and joy.
