My Purpose:
I dedicate myself to empowering individuals on their journey of self-healing by sharing knowledge and guiding them to facilitate their own wellness. My clients are those who are curious and motivated to enhance their physical and mental well-being. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of practices like yoga, ayurveda, and massage, as well as modern, evidence-based methodologies, I address the holistic aspects of the self—physical, energetic, mental, and emotional—to develop personalized routines that alleviate suffering and foster personal growth. Central to my approach are values of kindness, integrity, and excellence, ensuring that every interaction is rooted in respect and dignity. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where exploration, release, reframing, and rebuilding are welcomed and supported.
Yoga Therapy

Ayurveda
Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to healing that combines the ancient practice of yoga with modern therapeutic techniques. It recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, aiming to address imbalances in these areas to achieve optimal health and well-being.
Unlike traditional group yoga classes, yoga therapy is typically conducted one-on-one, allowing for personalized sessions tailored to the client’s unique requirements.
During yoga therapy sessions, I collaborate closely with the client, conducting a thorough assessment of their condition, gaining insight into their challenges, and crafting a tailored treatment strategy aligned with their objectives. This comprehensive plan encompasses a blend of yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation practices, relaxation techniques, and adjustments to their lifestyle, fostering a holistic approach to healing and wellness.
Massage, originating as one of the earliest forms of medicine in many cultures, presents a wealth of wellness benefits that span both physical and mental realms, rendering it an invaluable asset for fostering holistic well-being.
It effectively alleviates muscle tension and pain while concurrently bolstering flexibility and range of motion. By enhancing circulation, massage facilitates the delivery of vital oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells, expediting the removal of waste products and toxins.
Moreover, it serves as a potent antidote to stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders, instilling a sense of relaxation, tranquility, and emotional equilibrium. Notably, massage also contributes to improved sleep quality and duration, promotes lymphatic system activity, and fortifies the immune system, consolidating its multifaceted role in nurturing overall health and vitality.
Ayurveda is an ancient system of holistic medicine originating in India over 5,000 years ago; translating from Sanskrit as “the science of life,” this rich tradition embodies a holistic approach to health and wellness, recognizing the intricate connection between the body, mind, and spirit.
At the heart of Ayurvedic philosophy lies the understanding that each individual is a unique blend of physical, mental, and emotional attributes, referred to as doshas. These doshas—Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water)—govern diverse physiological and psychological functions within the body.
Ayurveda aims to sustain or restore equilibrium within the doshas through a multifaceted approach encompassing lifestyle practices, dietary selections, herbal remedies, detoxification methods, and therapeutic techniques like massage, yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathwork). By fostering harmony among the doshas, Ayurveda endeavors to prevent illness, foster longevity, and optimize overall well-being.
Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.
