My Story
During my mid-forties I developed a chronic illness that forced me to surrender and re-evaluate my lifestyle choices. Stressed and overwhelmed, I immersed myself in nature to soothe my nervous system. Here, I learned to slow down with awareness and deeply connect to the earth. Slowly, I began to heal.
Along the way, I discovered Ayurveda - India’s 5,000-year-old mind-body health system. Its practices are deeply rooted in the innate intelligence of Nature and its power to balance the mind, body, and spirit. By creating daily habits aligned with nature’s rhythms, my physiology harmonized. My body’s intelligence woke up and I healed.
My Ayurvedic training helped me understand that each person’s constitution is a unique blend of nature’s elements. I now embrace my “water” and “earth” element, which gives me a playful go-with-the-flow attitude along with the capacity to feel deeply. Naturally, I found myself wanting to help and heal others.
My hope is to coach you into a radiant life of longevity using nature as my guide. I want to help restore your energy, so you can show up and share your gifts with the world.
I love that nature is the guide to Ayurveda. When I discovered that all I need to do is follow Her lead, it was a great relief. No more internal wars of what to do when and why.
All I needed to do was pay attention and sync up.
So I changed my habits and streamlined a schedule based on nature’s rhythms. In Ayurveda, this is called dinacharya. With my new upleveled habits (better sleep, diet, exercise) and practices of self-care (meditation, self-massage, gratitude), I slowly began to thrive.
I’ve learned that anything is possible with the right plan, structure, guidance and support.

Rhythm is one of the most powerful pleasures, and when we feel a pleasurable rhythm we hope it will continue. When it does it grows sweeter. When it becomes reliable, we are in a kind of body-heaven.
