Body positive advocate, feminist, social justice worker, and spiritual teacher, I’m all about helping people flow, with equal amounts of awkward and grace, through the ups and downs of life. Connecting on a very human level with humor, love and weirdness, I facilitate different movement, breath, meditation and self-love workshops with the purpose of aligning people with their human experience (whatever that means to them in the moment). Certified in both Hatha and Kundalini yoga lineages, I’ve studied various meditation, yoga and healing modalities in Australia, India and the United States. I am also a certified Body Positivity, Our Whole Lives Sex Education and Koru Mindfulness for Emerging Adults facilitator, working at the University of Louisville and other schools, helping students realize their awesome human-ness.
