About
​
I’ve been in the fitness and wellness space for the past 17 years. Before that I was a social worker for children and families. I've always loved helping people — first through my roles at Head Start and CASA, then through dance and fitness, and now through deeper healing work. In 2020, my life took an unexpected turn (prior to the pandemic) through a series of traumatic events that left me facing acute PTSD, betrayal trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
​
That season sent me on a soul-searching journey through therapy, group work, EMDR, somatic work, and cold exposure. But it was breathwork that gave me the most powerful breakthrough — unlocking stuck trauma in my body, rewiring limiting thought patterns, and helping me begin to reconnect with my true self.
​
Today, I help individuals and couples do the same. Whether you’re navigating the impact of childhood trauma, or feeling lost in your relationship, or healing from the impact of betrayal trauma in your marraige — I’m here to walk with you. My approach is trauma-informed, faith-friendly, and personalized to your emotional and spiritual needs.
​
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that the most painful chapters are our greatest teachers and can often lead us to our greatest purpose. You’re not too far gone. You’re not too broken. And your healing doesn’t have to wait. If you're ready to tap into the medicine within and connect to the innate wisdom your body holds, you've come to the right place!


​
Enneagram: 1w9 — The Perfectionist with a peaceful heart. I’m driven by integrity and purpose but deeply value harmony, calm, and connection.
​
Favorite Books: Anything by Yung Pueblo. His words remind me that healing is both gentle and powerful.
​
Favorite Movie: About Time. It’s such a beautiful reminder to slow down, savor life, and lead with love.
​
Favorite Place: La Jolla, CA or Maui. I've loved the Pacific Ocean since I was a kid. The sound of the waves, the vastness of the horizon—it’s where I feel most at home.
​
Go-To Soundtrack: 90s hip hop when I’m in motion, yacht rock when I want a chill vibe.
​
Simple Joys: PUGS (always), slow mornings, sunsets, dance floors, meaningful conversations, and spontaneous laughter with people I love, and exploring new places.
​
Words I Live By: “Excellence over perfection. Presence over pressure.”
