Life is a journey…

Life is a journey, and sometimes we need a guide to help us find our way back to feeling vibrant, whole, and connected.

That’s why I’m here.

I understand what it’s like to face life’s twists and turns because I’ve walked this path myself.

For me, yoga and Ayurveda were my anchor. They helped me recover from trauma, detach from old stories, and create a new life… one that truly matched my values, strengths, and vision for the future. Through this healing, I learned that happiness is an inside job. No material things can bring lasting joy—it’s love, support, and the ability to cultivate balance within yourself first.

Yoga and Ayurveda gave me the tools to rebuild my life with clarity, resilience, and purpose. And now, it’s my passion to help others do the same.

What I Offer You

The wisdom of Ayurveda is at the heart of everything I teach..

The wisdom of Ayurveda is at the heart of everything I teach. Blended seamlessly with yoga, it creates powerful programs that transform lives. My trainings, treatments, and retreats are built on the belief that true healing happens when we connect deeply with who we are beyond our thoughts and emotions.

Together, we’ll:

Strengthen your body through yoga asanas and breathwork.
Cultivate mental clarity and emotional balance with meditation.
Foster self-awareness and courage through mentoring and community support.

In my programs, you’ll not only improve your health but also learn how to face life’s challenges with grace. You’ll join a circle of like-minded individuals committed to self-growth, discovery, and empowerment.

A Passion for Adventure

I’ve always believed that healing also happens when we step outside our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. That’s why I lead international retreats to breathtaking destinations where self-discovery and adventure go hand in hand.

From the lush landscapes of Bali and the serene beauty of New Zealand’s South Island to the vibrant culture of Chiang Mai, the crystal-clear waters of Fiji, and now the enchanting Batanes Retreat in the Philippines (2025) and the Africa Safari Retreat in Tanzania (2026)—each journey is a chance to connect, heal, and grow.
