At a very young age I began having panic attacks. I did not feel safe in the environment I grew up in. I couldn't wait to go to college for my psychology degree so I could learn what was going on inside me. As it turns out I was still entirely too trauamatized during my college years to remember most of what I learned.
I took a yoga class as an elective my freshman year, and soon began taking classes at my local studio. I instantly started to see changes in my body and my own connection to it. I continued my yoga practice all through college and there's a good chance I wouln't be alive today without it.
I was constantly numbing myself with any substance I could, all while dealing with a lifelong eating disorder. Yoga helped me work through my anxiety and depression in a way that was not overwhelming to my body and at a pace I was ready to handle. After a decade of practice I flew to India for my 200hr teacher training.
As I shifted into the role of becoming a teacher I was met with a whole new vulnerability within myself. Fear of being seen, imposter syndrome, all the things everyone had ever said to me that made me question my own truth. Transforming something I used for so long to help myself into something I could use to help guide others. We are all alchemists and have this power within us.
I spent years working in various healthcare modalities and knew there was something missing from the bigger picture. Understanding the power of breath, sound, movement, touch, and how energy works in the body has changed my life. These tools have helped bring me back home to myself. It is my passion to share them with the world.
