My journey

 
Joyful.jpg

I started my wellness journey in my home state of Michigan with my first Yoga Training in my early 20s. With the knowledge of anatomy and the energetic body, I finally felt like I had a language for something I had always had a thorough understanding of. For a few years, I traveled the U.S. and attended classes and workshops with expert teachers. My deep connection to water and appreciation of nature brought me to another training that taught me the techniques of stand-up paddling/SUP yoga, still to this day my favorite pastime. A few years later, I found an intensive program where I studied at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. Returning home, I passed my licensing exam and opened my practice. I continued formal education training in Thai Yoga Massage with separate tiers of training that included influences from Northern and Southern Thailand. My journey to complete my yoga teacher training took me to the colorful country of India. It was there that I made my connection to Sweden through a friend, who would later introduce me to my partner and now husband, Nicholas. Fast forward a bit to today, and I am living in Southern Sweden. Our lives are full and quickly moving with our son, Elio, daughter, Talia, and our precious pup, Penny. Among my other passions is being a birth and postpartum doula, where I can collectively nurture and expand to create a better world. It begins with birth. Thank you for being here.
