My Journey
I immigrated to the United States 25 years ago, where I then raised my two daughters and began a beautiful new chapter of my life, one defined by self-discovery and healing. Since then, I have dedicated countless hours to personal and professional study, business ventures, various certifications, licenses, and trainings, giving me a comprehensive, holistic understanding of healing.
My career began in skin care, back in 2008, where I spent years working as an esthetician in all parts of the spa industry. I eventually opened my own spa, hoping to create a nurturing and hospitable environment for those seeking it. I was humbled by the experience and received incredible feedback from the community.
For many years, I continued to work as an esthetician, while also developing my consistent yoga practice. I found comfort in yoga and meditation, and realized how powerful these practices could be for personal healing. The deeper I went into my practice, the more I desired long-lasting, genuine change for myself and my clients, who were often consulting me on all of their wellness concerns. I slowly started to feel that what I provided as an esthetician was not enough, and that if I wanted to create real change, not superficial short-lived results, I would have to offer more.
In this chapter of my life, I gained an appreciation for the powerful connection between all parts of our being, both physical and spiritual, and the need to care for ourselves as a whole. I wasn’t just giving my clients skin care tips, but teaching them how to eat, move, and live to optimize their health and happiness. I was able to see through all facets of my life and work that people were hungry for a deeper sense of well-being. It was this realization that inspired the next several years of my journey. I channelled this passion for self-care and dedicated the following chapters of my life to gaining knowledge and experience that eventually culminated in my own holistic practice.
I soon became certified as a holistic health coach and dedicated countless hours exploring both Ayurvedic teachings and nutrition practices and the powerful healing benefits of food. After that, I travelled to Thailand to further my lifelong practice of yoga and finally pursue my dream of teaching. After weeks of training I became a certified Bikram yoga instructor, then returned home, where I spent my time teaching yogis of all levels, solidifying my love for teaching.
I then took some time off to travel, taking a hiatus from my day-to-day life where I could address my past and heal the pieces of myself that yoga and meditation brought to the surface. My heart led me to India, where I studied under some of the greatest teachers in the field, including Muktamla Mitra Gosh, the granddaughter of Bishnu Gosh. There, I gained knowledge and certification in prescribing yoga as a cure to ailments and diseases of the body. After India, I traveled through Bali and parts of the Middle East. This journey was a huge part of my personal growth. I embraced solitude and reconnected with my roots back home, working on forgiveness and gratitude, as my travels brought back past memories. Practicing yoga and meditating daily, I slowly began to walk myself back to the most profound level of wholeness I ever experienced. I returned home with clarity and purpose, and continued my work in the wellness field.
More recently, as I watched meditation transform my life, I felt a deep desire and need to share this practice with others. I honored this calling by attending Davidji’s Masters of Wisdom & Meditation Teacher Training, where I became a certified meditation teacher and mastered many different types of meditation, energy work, yoga nidra, chanting, dancing, and more.
My qualifications on paper are only a tiny part of who I am. My passion comes from years of adversity and navigating my own journey of self-care. Through meditation, food coaching, yoga, and many other practices, I discovered the ability to experience deep healing from the inside out. This peace and joy that I have experienced is what I want to bring to others through my work. I live my life using the same principles that I share with my clients, and am passionate about sharing new approaches to happiness and health as I continue to grow and learn.
Throughout my career, my efforts to discover my passions in life, and my own personal healing journey, I always come back to a similar conclusion – My passion has always been to serve and bring joy, beauty, and grace to the lives of others.
