I grew up in the Midwest, where life felt small and disconnected from the deeper things I was searching for. Even at a young age, I knew I needed the ocean, more freedom, and a life that felt more open-hearted. In my early 20s, I moved to San Diego, and everything changed. I lived by the beach, went to college, traveled the world, spent years living on yachts, and built a life rooted in movement, adventure, and the sea.

Marriage and becoming a mother to my two daughters shifted everything for me. They brought me into yoga and presence in a way I had never experienced before. Through motherhood, yoga became real — not just a practice, but a way of living with connection and awareness. I later moved to Portland looking for a more grounded life, but eventually realized I needed the ocean again.

That calling led me to the Bay Area and into the yoga community in San Francisco, where I deepened my teaching and personal practice. After many years in Northern California, I followed my heart back to Southern California. Now I’m grateful to call Cardiff home, stay connected to the Bay Area, and continue traveling the world while living a life that feels grounded, simple, and true to me.
