I began my personal yoga practice 20 years ago, and enrolled in my first yoga teacher training 15 years ago (2009) through ashram residency in Rishikesh, India under Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu. I have since continued to study and travel throughout Asia, including Indonesia, China, and Thailand, which influenced me to pursue continued study and training in various styles of practice, including Hatha-Raja, Classical-Kundalini, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative, Aerial yoga, Vipassana meditation and Thai-massage.

I graduated from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in 2012, and graduated from PCU College of Holistic Medicine as an Acupuncturist in 2017. Currently I am working towards my goal of creating a healing retreat homestead surrounded by regenerative agriculture.

My practice is rooted in ancient eastern wisdom, yet it is approachable for modern life. I am inspired by the intelligence of nature and the traditions of our ancestors and coming together to practice our highest intentions. I am passionate about the transformational effects of adapting a healthful diet, combined with yoga and acupuncture as preventative medicine. I love getting to know each individual’s unique history and how I may support one’s health journey.

Gratitude to my teachers who supported my personal journey and who continue to influence me to realize my deeper potential: Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu: Founder of Akhanda Yoga and Sansar Gyaan Pathshala, M.V. Chidananda: Founder of Sachidananda Ashtanga Vinyasa Mysore, Rachel Hull: herbalist and pilates instructor, Dr. Sujatha Kekada: Ayurvedic doctor and co-founder of AmritaSiddhi, Dr. Beiyu Hu: Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and my departed mother, who taught me through her cancer journey the power of ceaseless love.

“You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
