I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Commerce in Marketing and promptly started working at a Public Relations agency… But cried every Sunday for 9 months.I couldn’t imagine spending decades working in a field that I was already crying weekly about.I believed it could be different. It had to be different. My survival depended on it.I quit my job and did what any mid-20s young adult would do: take a quarter-life crisis trip (and pay for it with my line of credit).For four months, I backpacked solo through South East Asia.The trip culminated in a 10-day silent meditation retreat on a Thai monastery.Little did I know that trip would change the trajectory of my life. From then on, I wanted to live a life with intention and purpose that focused on slowing down, listening deeply, living minimally, and choosing wisely—for ourselves and others.Since 2005, I’ve trained extensively in both yoga and meditation.As a yoga teacher, I had the privilege to teach groups up to 7,000 people (no, that’s not a typo!). I taught for 13 years, was a brand ambassador for several active wear brands, and retired from teaching movened when I started teaching Buddhist meditation.As a meditation teacher, I was one of 20 people selected worldwide for the Spirit Rock Meditation 4-year Retreat Teacher Training, mentor hundreds of meditation teachers in training, create inclusive spaces for BIPOC practitioners, and have an active online mindfulness membership community.My mission: helping people remember their wholeness.Here’s how I can help remind you of your wholeness:1.
