Yoga teacher | Reiki healer | Tantra Yoga educator | Feminine Coach
My mission on this earth is to guide women to remember their worthiness, embody radical self-love & live a life of pleasure, deep fulfillment & alignment with their best selves.
​
I started practicing yoga during a dark & depressive period, through a local Buddhist meditation center. It was here that I discovered movement as a powerful tool for coping with stress & anxiety.
​
Throughout the years, I stayed consistent with my physical yoga practice, but it wasn’t until 2021 that my spiritual & meditation practice deepened.
My year of 2021 was a time of great transition, realization & existentialism. I was living a life unaligned with my truest desires. I worked in an industry I hated, started on my fitness journey & constantly pushed past my energetic & physical capabilities, and pursued a degree I didn’t want. I suffered from serious anxiety, self-victimization, self-criticism, body image issues, toxic fitness & eating habits, and conformity.
​
It was during this time when I discovered Tantra yoga & feminine energy.
The feminine energy is intuitive, reflective & self-honest. It knows what TRULY serves us in our life & what doesn’t & lives according to that.
​
Through these philosophies, I stepped into my self-worth, embodied radical self-love & realized that my desires & dreams are valid. I realized that I didn’t need to keep living a life that didn’t make me happy.
​
Fast forward to where I am now, I live a life I love. I love my body. I believe my needs, desires & dreams are valid. I speak & live my truth. And now, I help women move through life self-loving & unapologetic about their desires & true selves.

~OUR VALUES & PHILOSOPHY~
Intentional Living (def.): when your everyday decisions & actions reflect and match your true desires, dreams & values.
It takes authenticity, self-honesty & curiosity to discover what you stand by.
It takes deep courage & devotion to live with integrity & alignment with what you stand by.
It takes a desire for self-development to take this journey of intentional living.
And it requires deep self-love & a feeling of worthiness to stay committed to yourself, your dreams & your journey.
