My Story

After a rigorous upbringing in the highly competitive dance world for 20 years, college graduation, comprehensive pilates certification, yoga teacher training, nutrition certification and MANY epiphanies, I did the unthinkable.

19 years ago I launched a location independent lifestyle, sold everything, professionally blogged, danced, and taught my way around the wonderful land of Australia.

After rooting back state side, I wanting to share the transformative power of health, fitness and travel. I put all of my efforts into producing all inclusive weekend, 7 day retreats and teacher training programs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Mexico, Bali and Costa Rica.

San Francisco was my home base for 8 years, where I created a few digital products, studied with leading health, dance, pilates, and yoga experts, and stayed on top of the latest technology trends.

My schedule was packed to the brim teaching private clients, workshops, and retreats alongside my dance career. It was exhausting to say the least and I needed more balance in my life. So, I decided to make a radical move to Central America.

In 2013, I relocated my home base to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica to open a wellness center, live the lifestyle of my dreams, and produce life changing experiences for others.

Teaching pilates, yoga, and holistic plant based nutrition online allowed me the freedom to travel and teach what I loved anytime anywhere.

Within the first few months of my stay in Costa Rica I had the pleasure of sitting in my first Ayahuasca ceremony. I experienced quantum healing and a powerful spiritual awakening that would forever change my life and business moving forward.

For the next 6 years, I worked extensively with sacred plant medicine and shamanic communities in Costa Rica, Peru, and Guatemala. I wove these powerful ancient traditions into the vast majority of my retreats and yoga teacher trainings due to their potent ability to heal and shift people forever.

I had so many health and wellness entrepreneurs asking me how I had created this business and lifestyle, that I started 1:1 business coaching 7 years ago.

I moved to Austin, Texas in 2018 and my beautiful son Wilder was born in 2020. I spent the last 3.5 years stepping back from business to be a very present mother during those precious early years.

I’m forever grateful for the priceless time away from my business to focus on raising him. I’m also elated to be back in action now as a coach, producer and teacher.

As I reflect on the last 20 years since I wrote my first EpicSelf blog post, I’m blown away by all that has unfolded…

Throughout my teaching career, I’ve had the utmost pleasure of teaching for some of the most revered clubs, retreat centers and festivals including: Equinox, Sports Club LA, YogaWorks, Rancho La Puerta and Envision Festival.

I’ve produced an extensive amount of all inclusive 5 – 7 day retreats, 30 day yoga teacher trainings, entreprenuer masterminds, and leadership conferences in 7 countries including Mexico, Bali, Thailand, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica and the U.S.

I love nothing more than transporting people into an entirely new and different environment to heal, learn and grow together.

That’s a bit about me, but I can’t wait to learn more about you. Reach out anytime via email and stay in touch on Instagram and Facebook. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Blessings!
