After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Florida in 2000 it was my intention to continue my studies and purse a PhD in the field. My path however led me to yoga and since then I’ve found myself on an incredible journey of self empowerment, transformation, and wellness.

In 2003 I travelled to Bali and received my 200RYT in Ashtanga from Yoga Arts. I then returned to Florida and enjoyed teaching at a range of facilities while developing my own style of teaching and continuing to develop my own practice.  In 2007 I moved to Singapore to pursue my teaching career internationally.

Since my yoga journey began over 13 years ago, I’ve had the opportunity to practice, learn, and play with: John Friend, Shiva Rae, Sarah Powers, Aadil Palkhivala, Maya Fiennes, and many others. I am trained in Prenatal Yoga (Janice Clarfield), Yin Yoga (Paul Grilley), and Kid’s Yoga (Karma Kids). Obtaining my certification to teach Prenatal Yoga led me to pursue becoming a certified Doula. I have been teaching Pre Natal for 7 yrs and have been privileged to work with many women before, during, and after the birth of their babies. I have seen first hand the wonderful benefits that practicing yoga while pregnant can have on your body, your birth experience, and recovery from childbirth. I welcome my students to salute and celebrate motherhood and childbirth! As a new, first time Mom myself, I feel blessed to have taught throughout my pregnancy and experience first hand the grace and glory of yoga while pregnant.

I teach with intention to blend knowledge and experience in a clear, dynamic and generous manner. I practice and teach with an open heart and mind. I chose to embrace gratitude everyday and allow it to bring me joy, I then sharing that joy with others. My love for yoga enables me to nurture the divine light within so that I’m able to help others tend to the spirit with in each of them. My vision for myself and others is to live to your fullest potential and radiate true health in body, mind, and spirit.

With the birth of my son Connor, in May 2010 I decided to take an extended maternity leave from teaching to pursue my role as a Mom. My initiation back into teaching was instructing the Prenatal Yoga portion of the 2011 True Yoga 200 Hr teacher training. I am excited and eager to be teaching again with my fresh perspective on life, yoga, and my passion for both.
