My search for inner connection led me to explore some of the most transformative places in the world. In Peru, I experienced a profound reconnection with my body, Indigenous wisdom, nature’s healing practices, and Spirit. In India, I felt at home while completing my first yoga teacher training and discovering Vipassana meditation. Through movement and mindfulness, I learned to reconnect with my inner silence and confront parts of myself I had long hidden.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, I ended my contract with the seas and sought meaningful ways to serve others. I worked in the mental health sector, palliative care, and with children and adults on the autistic spectrum. These experiences deepened my respect for life and reinforced the universal need for belonging, acceptance, and being truly seen.

My personal practice provided a strong foundation during times of grief and loss in my family. It taught me that true transformation comes from turning toward both light and dark—being present with hurt, longing, despair, fear, and aloneness. I learned to approach life with curiosity, compassion, and presence, allowing me to embrace both joy and pain fully.

I am a Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher and Coach, and I completed the Compassionate Inquiry online training with Gabor Maté. This training profoundly supported me through difficult times and inspired my work with women. I guide women to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover safety, wholeness, and belonging through somatic movement, mindfulness, and trauma-informed yoga. This work fuels my dedication to cultivating love, happiness, and freedom in life.
