about me

One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.  ~ William Feather

This quote deeply resonates with me, as I am a total adventurer at heart. I have lived and worked all over the world and raised my kids internationally as an expatriate. You will probably find me any time there’s a chance to see and experience art, fashion, and delicious foods. I find nature absolutely thrilling and love being out in it — hiking, horseback riding, and taking in its majestic sites. On the flip side, I also love quiet moments at home with my dog, Tucker. Life is so multi-faceted, isn’t it? To me it’s a never ending journey with different twists and turns, lessons, and opportunities to grow and thrive.

Early in life as an adolescent, I fractured my spine in a horseback accident causing scoliosis in my spine. It was a painful time that ultimately led me to yoga, which I have been practicing since 1994. Yoga changed my life and through it, I started to truly understand the relationship between our body and our mind - a intimate and inextricable connection between what we think (emotionally, intellectually and spiritually) and how it is reflected in our physical bodies.

This adventure of mind-body relationship led me to explore what the word “health” really means to me. Here’s where I’ve landed: Good health must consider and meet the needs of the WHOLE person--body, mind and spirit. It’s how I’ve approach my own life, and it’s fueled my own studies and certifications (included below):

  • Masters in Psychology at the University of Southern California

  • Nationally-certified Integrative Health Coach trained at Duke Integrative Medicine.

  • 500E-RT yoga & meditation teacher, specializing in Kundalini Yoga and Sound Healing with the gong.

  • Shamanic healer in the Peruvian tradition and a Reiki Master.

Life has offered me many gifts - through study and personal experience. I use them to support my own balance, wellness, and peace, and I offer the same to you on your own unique journey. I believe everyone can create a life of health, joy and vitality.
