I’ve always been a yogi in my heart, but it’s only in the past decade of immersing myself in a yogic lifestyle that I’ve discovered my authentic self and been able to create a life that is an expression of my life’s purpose: teaching and guiding others to awaken the power of self-healing while creating a life of joy and purpose.
In my earlier years I experienced a deepening sense that despite an outwardly successful life, a big part of me was missing and longing for outward expression. After the joy of raising my daughters, determined to find this missing piece, I explored yoga, world religions, eastern and western philosophies, and just about everything else that was legal, cheap and safe! My search ended when I found my heart’s home in Kundalini Yoga and discovered that what I’d been seeking already resided within me. Kundalini yoga rewired me to the core, allowing me to release all that inhibited the expression of my highest self while redirecting me towards a more authentic, purposeful, and joyful way of being and living. The other component of my healing, You Can Heal Your Life®, made a dramatic entrance into my life when Louise Hay’s book of the same name literally fell from the bookstore shelf and hit me on the head. Not one to take such signs lightly—and luckily the book wasn’t too heavy!—I studied it, integrated the practices, and later trained to be a You can Heal your Life® workshop leader. As I began to practice the combination of these two traditions, I experienced a sense of empowerment and gratitude for the connection with my highest self. It became clear that my purpose is to share these teachings so that others can reach their infinite potential and create the abundant life we all deserve. From this expanded space, I created Healing Life Yoga—a fusion of Kundalini Yoga, You Can Heal Your Life®, and my own self-healing journey— to offer my students a holistic system for authentic and purposeful living. Nothing gives me more joy than witnessing my students coming home to themselves and the profound joy that follows. After teaching for a few years, and learning and growing from and with my students, I was called to expand personally and professionally again. I completed Hatha II training and became certified to teach Hatha Yoga. I completed the Workplace Wellness Academy training and became certified to teach chair yoga and Yoga at Work. Last but not least, I completed a specialized training to teach Yoga For Healing & Recovery from Stress, Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Addiction, and Trauma Sensitive Yoga & Resiliency Training for First Responders. I feel blessed and honored to offer these teachings in a safe and supportive environment and to be a part of the participants' journey back to wholeness. As someone who came to my calling later in life, I’m a living testament that it’s never too late—or too early!—to peel away the layers to discover who you truly are and what you’re here to do. I joyfully live in Santa Barbara, CA—doing what I love and loving what I do—teaching individuals and groups, and offering transformational retreats worldwide.
