It all started when…

In August of 2023 I made the life-affirming decision to solo travel to Bali, Indonesia at the Bali Kapha Yoga School to complete my 200hr International YTT. I am passionate about medicine and educating others. Yoga and completing my formal teacher training have afforded me the skills to more intentionally navigate life. I am excited to share these tools with others to improve their connections to self and the community.

Yoga for Healing

My yoga journey has been unique and so essential to my growth as a person. In April of 2023, I lost my best friend and mother, Katie Marie, to pancreatic cancer. The year between her diagnosis and death changed me and challenged me. Following her death, I lost my maternal grandma, godmother, and aunt. After a trying two years, I am now a person navigating grief. Beginning my yoga journey in 2018 has given me a valuable framework for healthy coping, resilience, and pursuing joy. I am committed to service, medicine, and honoring the legacies of the greatest loves I’ve ever known. With the help of the Pancreatic Cancer Network, I feel more connected and empowered and have taken on a position with the organization as a Mission Co-Chair and restorative yoga teacher for patients and caregivers. We cannot all do backbends and inversions, but we can all breathe better and know ourselves a bit better. It is my goal to cultivate an accessible and encouraging space that affirms this.
