I have come to know that my search for peace and fulfillment started around the age of 15 when I saw my mother reading the book The Road Less Traveled. I knew in that moment that I wanted to be on that road, not realizing it was a spiritual path of self-realization, of coming to know Who I Am. During that time, I developed an eating disorder and patterns of unhealthy relationships that would stay with me throughout most of my adult life.

​

After completing my education at SMU in Dallas and working at Halliburton and Kimberly Clark’s World headquarters, I became a mother and chose to stay home with my children. During this period my “self-care” was somewhat compulsive. I ran marathons (including Boston) and became certified as a personal trainer through the Cooper Institute. I also received certifications in multiple styles of yoga. I had the opportunity to train the Dallas Burn professional soccer team and practiced with world renown yogis.

​

Around the time my children left home I became a single woman. The following “transactional” period of my life yielded an MBA from the University of Dallas, certification with Intrinsic Coaching International and a corporate gig with a SaaS Technology company. I proved to myself that I could take care of me. I left the corporate world to focus on the “transformational world”. Three things have been consistent throughout my life; my love of self-discovery, moving my body for health & fitness,  and creating a holistic way of living. Today my self-care is intentional and relaxed. I use all my certifications, training, and experience in my daily life to create well-being, balance, and meaningful relationships. With my experience of 20+ years of teaching yoga, over a decade of coaching, and my personal recovery work, I am called to share with others.
