My wellness journey has been just that—a journey! I have experienced what it feels like to not know anything about my health or what to eat, to dismiss and unknowingly mask my symptoms with band-aid approaches, and not really put thought into what made me feel truly “well”. For most of my young adulthood, this was my life.

Thanks to my very first experience in a yoga class (that really came full circle!), I came to the realization that I wasn’t supporting myself the way I should. I began to realize that I wanted to be a more active participant in my health journey and experience for myself a deeper knowing of how to nourish myself as best I could. 

Over time, I slowly started to make shifts in my diet and lifestyle to prioritize my health. Through this, I was discovering that eating healthier was actually healing my body and my symptoms were disappearing, and that prioritizing stress relief through yoga was having a profound impact on my mental health. Oh, and that days spent working long hours in accounting and finance was completely out of alignment with who I truly was, and I was so unhappy and feeling a lack of purpose. It was all starting to make sense! 

I became empowered in the decisions I was making to support myself on a daily basis, and eventually the small, incremental changes started to play a big role in how great I felt. All of this led me to where I am today. Several years later, I decided to take a leap of faith and quit my corporate job. I went back to school for nutrition, became a yoga teacher, and fully immersed myself in my mission to help others live a more healthier, more mindful lifestyle. I’ve never looked back!
