Who I am and why I do what I do
I am someone who has often found myself on the sidelines of life, searching for a sense of belonging.
I am a woman who has found my deepest and most transformative relationship to be with myself.
I am someone who has always been a seeker, desiring to learn, understand and love who I am.
This journey has brought me to explore different systems for understanding the self, and modalities for healing. Formally, I studied how social change happens, focusing on food-related programs at a community level. After falling into the restaurant industry, I went back to school for holistic nutrition – to learn to build health at a fundamental level.
My yoga practice supported me through a major life upheaval when I became a single mom when my daughter was just 9 months old. This transition really clarified my life path. I started yoga teacher training, which ultimately helped me to be more in my body, to begin to practice self-love, and to cultivate devotion to my spiritual unfolding. I wanted to share this practice that helped me through many hard times, including years of negative coping mechanisms and addiction.
As a mother, I fell in love with Yoga Nidra. I became a guide of this practice that helps us to prioritize REST, to explore the subconscious mind and to rewrite limiting beliefs.
I spent years learning about astrology and now Human Design, as a way to understand who I am at a soul-level. I see Human Design as both a blueprint and map; helping me to be my best, most fully expressed self and to live my life in the most fulfilling and supportive way. Human Design has helped me to know why I am how I am, it has brought me both deep understanding and recognition of my Self, while also expanding my idea of who I can be.
What is Human Design?
Human Design is a modern tool based on multiple ancient wisdom traditions. It weaves together Astrology, the Chakras, the I Ching hexagrams and the Kabbalistic Tree of life. Based on our birth information, like Astrology, Human Design tells us all about our true Self.
The key is that the Human Design system gives us practical ways of being to implement – things like our strategy and our decision-making authority. I think of Human Design not just as a blueprint of WHO we are, but a system that gives us ideas and tools for HOW to be in the world in a way that is aligned with our unique self. These tools help us to find more ease and less resistance, and to feel more of our signature of satisfaction, peace, success and surprise.
I strive to use Human Design in my 1:1s in a way that is tangible and embodied. In a way that creates real change for people in their patterns and way of experiencing the world. Yes, you will leave our session feeling seen and understood. You may have aha! moments of clarity around why you are who you are. Plus, you will have tips and tools to carry forward, to help life feel less heavy, and to use your energy in a more aligned way. Human Design is about de-conditioning work, and it is meant to be lived out. Think of it as an experiment, take what resonates and leave what doesn’t feel true for you.
How to work with me
My work helps people interrupt old patterns and conditioning, and return to what feels true in their body and life. I bring together insight, embodiment, and practical support. My work focuses on helping people make aligned decisions, cultivate self-trust and discover practices of self-love. I also prioritize rest, slowing down, nourishing the body, mind and soul, and going at the pace that is right for each individual. I want us all to know that we deserve to return to rest.
I do this work because it is my path. It is what I needed and what I believe is valuable for others. As a projector in Human Design, I am here to see others deeply, to recognize their highest potential, and to be a guide. I hold space for people to show up in their wholeness, and I combine multiple modalities, with humility and grace grounded in my own human-ness.
Currently, I teach yoga and meditation at Ste Anne’s spa. I am a certified Human Design Reader and I work 1:1 with clients, allowing them to feel deeply seen, and supporting them to understand their energy, their inner decision-making authority, and their life purpose. I run seasonal retreats combining restorative yoga practices and Human Design. I also host occasional pop-up Yoga Nidra meditations in my home studio and online.
