Hello friends.
First of all, let me just say that I am beyond grateful for my life -- all of it! I am grateful for the good times, as well as the heartaches, struggles, challenges, and the many difficult lessons I've had to learn. Everything has contributed to the person I am today, and has lead me to living a beautiful life, aligned with my soul!
I am here to share my soul work with you!
My journey has led me to this.
I am an entrepreneur at heart! I love to create, whether for myself or for someone else. The process comes natural to me. I find it exciting to start with an idea, and to feel the potential of what could be. Then to be a part of the creation, watching it come to life, is MAGICAL!
​
For many years I lived in the Columbia Gorge, managing a winery and teaching yoga. Many people I knew were in awe of the life I had created for myself. I lived in a beautiful destination, happily married, surrounded by a wonderful community. I turned two things I loved into a career (wine & yoga), eventually transitioning from the winery, to owning a yoga studio. Then in 2020, my husband and I found ourselves re-evaluating our lives and decided we were ready for our next adventure. So we sold our house, and began to travel, while working remotely. Again, people were in awe of the life we were living, as we visited the most beautiful destinations the West Coast had to offer, spending much of our time in nature. We traveled off and on for two years, eventually landing in Teton Valley, ID, another beautiful destination, where we decided to put down roots.
Meanwhile, I was on a mission to re-invent myself, continually asking questions like, what kind of life do I want for myself and how do I want to serve the world? I remained open, adapting to new ideas and insights, aware of synchronicities, trying new things, and trusting the process along the way. I was led to write my first book, lead more retreats, and co-found the Teton Yoga Festival.
​
Here I am once again creating a lifestyle for myself, with more FREEDOM than ever before, while being of service to the world. Most of my work is remote, allowing flexibility for travel. Thanks to Zoom and Social Media platforms, I didn't have to leave my community behind, but instead, was able to expand it.
I recognize how fortunate I am, and feel so much gratitude as I reflect on my journey and where I am today. It hasn't always been easy, but everything in my life has led me to this moment, aligning with what feels true in my heart. So here I am, offering my services to the world, helping others create a LIFE for themselves that they LOVE. With my diverse background in yoga, energetic wellness, and business development, I feel confident about the programs, retreats, and offerings I have to share. Thank you for your support, patience, and trust along the way.
In love & gratitude,
