my purpose
I didn’t come to this work already feeling at home in myself. For many years, I felt disconnected from my own sensations and unable to access the emotional depth I longed for. Travel and writing became early doorways into self-exploration, and in 2018 - while in Mexico - yoga and meditation opened a new path toward sensing, softening, and coming alive again. During my teacher training in India, I remember being moved to tears by the simple wisdom of the body - a moment that reshaped how I approach both life and teaching.
Having experienced the shift from numbness to genuine presence, I’ve come to understand how powerful gentle attention, nervous-system awareness, and conscious choice can be. This transformation is what gives my work purpose: creating supportive spaces where others can reconnect with themselves, explore at their own pace, and discover their own inner aliveness.
