I feel honored to be in service to the world in this way.
My story to health and balance like so many others starts with something that broke me open, and changed me forever. At that time I saw my purpose more clearly than I ever had before, and put all of my energy into aligning my life on the outside with how I felt on the inside. I am grateful for that moment in time over a decade ago now as it brought me to where I am today - teaching, playing, learning and supporting others on their journey to remember.
For years I worked as a full time marketing professional, but I didn't feel completely aligned to my work. And I was starting to get sick literally from the intense client load and demanding nature of the business I was in. Yoga had always supported me, and luckily I was introduced to it at a young age (which is especially remarkable as I grew up in Iowa).
I went through my first yoga teacher training in 2012 (in magical Greece), and shortly after began to align my passion for yoga and mindfulness with my professional background. And, I wanted to start doing marketing differently - connected to instinct, and not from fear or what I call “unethical” or manipulative marketing. Which let’s face it - most marketing is rooted in making us believe we are “not enough” and I have zero interest in being a part of that game.
For a few years I worked as a yoga teacher on the side, and started doing marketing for a large group of yoga studios in San Francisco. This was just the beginning of my current journey.
Today I teach yoga and herbalism classes and LOVE that I also get to do marketing for some of the most incredible teachers, entrepreneurs, studios and healers of all kinds. It is my goal to work with individuals and entrepreneurs of all backgrounds that are driven by purpose. View some of the clients I currently work with here, and schedule a chat here.
Yoga was the catalyst to help me step into my life fully present with an open heart. It is my deepest honor to bring my knowledge of marketing and business to those that really need it, and make a real impact. And both teach and inspire others to do marketing VERY differently than the bulk of what we are used to. In a way that is more aligned and inspired.
As a yoga teacher my goal is to help you bring more balance, grace and a permission to rest and let go into your life as this practice and path has done for me. In every class with me you can expect a connection to the season, the moon and elements, plus an exploration of your patterns of tension, fatigue and stress in your body and mind. View my class schedule, or schedule a private session.
I am also an avid LOVER of plants, the wild and natural world as another “doorway” into our true nature and connection with the living world and each other. I release handmade herbal products several times a year in my passion project - The Seasonal Herbal Box - featuring some of my favorite remedies and herbal allies - everything is handmade by me! I put a lot of love into every box, and hope you love it - everything is either locally grown, wild crafted ethically or organically sourced.
And I teach herbalism classes both in-person and remotely (listed at the top of my schedule page) from my kitchen to help us all remember our belonging to the earth, and the power of what I call our herbal allies for health, wellness, connection and joy!
I am so grateful for the teachings of Abby Tucker, Holly Rhiannon, Tracee Stanley, Josh Schrei of The Emerald Podcast, Sara Avant Stover, Shiva Rea, Gloria Latham, plus meditation teachers Matthew Brensilver and Vinny Ferraro, my beloved Herbalism teachers Asia Suler, Kami McBride and Rosalee De la Foret as well as the radical Rev Zoe Inman for the continuous learning on this path.
