Born a lover of movement, animals, nature, and all art forms, I grew up in a small town in west Tennessee and spent my youth riding my bike, swimming, dancing and climbing trees. My parents had me as teenagers, and they struggled to find stability and peace in their lives. They went through divorce and re-marriage, where I was shuffled from various homes, and step-parents and step-siblings came in and out of my life. I was abused and witnessed addiction and struggles around me.

In high-school, I found fulfillment and community through athletics, Church, music and mentoring other kids. I loved cheerleading, gymnastics and dance and used movement to get out of my head. I got out my angst with Nirvana, Alanis Morisette and Weezer. I became a competitive Cheerleader throughout high school and college, while also teaching kids gymnastics and swimming. After graduation, I flew to the concrete jungle of New York City to pursue "a better life," but it wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. While pursuing a career as an actress, I spent too many nights partying with anybody and everybody, washing down pizza with Tequila. I wasn’t connected to myself. I avoided and numbed my pain. I felt restless, scared and alone. I protected myself from getting hurt again by closing myself off from empathy, sensitivities and deeper relationships. I built a shield and bottled everything up inside until eventually, I learned how to process my difficult emotions. I learned how to trust.

After a few meltdowns and a career shift, I dove deeply into self-inquiry with tools from wisdom teachings, yoga, mindfulness, holistic health, coaching and conscious relating. I took a sabbatical to Asia, exploring, studying and uncovering more truth. I’ve been on the path ever since and began coaching and teaching in 2014. My offering continues to evolve and include a variety of styles of Yoga, somatic therapies and life coaching.

Through years of practice, I've cultivated a deeper presence, sensitivity, compassion and connection to divinity.
