As far back as I can remember, I felt a deep connection to the Earth and my body as a vessel for meditation.

At 17, I began my spiritual awakening, which first led me to study Reiki. I hold a Third Degree Usui and Karuna Reiki Master-Teacher Certificate.

At 23, I graduated with honors from Sonoma State University in Transpersonal Psychology, with an Emphasis on Somatic Yoga and non-clinical Mental Health Therapies.

At 25, I became an Advanced Certified Yoga Teacher through the White Lotus Foundation.

At 26, I became an Ordained Minister through the International Assembly of Spiritual Healers & Earth Stewards (S.H.E.S.).

I practiced a professor's life for over a decade between 1998 - 2008. I became a Community Educator at El Camino College and a full-time Kinesiology, Health Sciences, and Comparative Religion Lecturer at California State University, Fullerton. My days teaching at the college level I accelerated my communication skills and ability to work with people from all walks of life.

In 1999, I started Cloud Nine Yoga School, Certifying & Training Yoga Teachers with a soulful curriculum I continue to curate with honor and love.

I have ventured around the globe and learned from acclaimed teachers of Tantra, Meditation, Shamanism, Hula, and Bodywork. I fully immersed myself in the healing traditions of ancient civilizations and the transformative teachings of Yoga, Hawaiian Healing Arts, Astrology, and Earth-based Spirituality.

I am an Artist, Mother, and Wife. I walk in harmony with my ancestors while raising a family, building upon my soul-calling to teach Yoga, and holding a deeply committed relationship with my beloved, Adam. My need to balance all aspects of life, from career to home, from the personal to the partnership, is my heart's most precious work.

My journey is evolving and deepening in middle age. After half a century, I embody the wise woman, mentor, and quiet activist. Through decades of teaching and guiding the community of humans in my care, I offer my extensive knowledge of Yoga and the Healing Arts. I share my natural capacity for joy, light, intuition, and optimism. I'm here to hold a powerful space for transformation—to provide a fierce and honest presence through Yoga, Mentoring, and Spiritual Guidance.
