My Yoga Journey: A Path to Healing & Presence
I want to share a personal story about my journey with yoga—one that has deeply transformed my life in ways I never expected.
When I first began practicing yoga last year, I saw it as just a way to stay active and healthy. Inspired by my mother’s struggle with chronic sciatica pain, I knew I wanted to care for my body to prevent similar challenges as I aged. But what started as a physical practice quickly became something much deeper. Yoga became the missing piece in my holistic and spiritual life.
I soon realized that yoga wasn’t just about movement—it was a beautiful complement to the energy work and healing practices I’ve offered for over 20 years. The 8 Limbs of Yoga taught me how to bring mindfulness and presence into every moment, aligning perfectly with the work I do through Reiki, hypnosis, and reflexology.
Here’s a glimpse into the wisdom of the 8 Limbs of Yoga:
✨ Yamas – Ethical principles for how we interact with the world
✨ Niyamas – Self-discipline and inner growth
✨ Asana – Physical postures that strengthen and heal
✨ Pranayama – Breath control to cultivate energy and balance
✨ Pratyahara – Turning inward by withdrawing from distractions
✨ Dharana – Concentration and focused awareness
✨ Dhyana – Meditation and deep inner stillness
✨ Samadhi – A state of blissful connection and enlightenment
Yoga has become my anchor, deepening my connection to my breath, body, and spirit in ways I never imagined. It has helped me embody presence, flow with life, and support others on their journey to healing.
I can’t wait to share this practice with you and create a space where we can grow, breathe, and heal together. See you on the mat!

A Journey to Health and Self-Love
For the past three years, I’ve been on a deeply transformative health journey—one that has truly changed my life. With the guidance of a dietitian and therapist, I’ve been able to end the cycle of diet culture, embrace intuitive eating, and heal my relationship with food.
Through therapy, I discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS), which allowed me to understand and release old patterns, including emotional eating. This work has been life-changing.
Along the way, I released 80 pounds of excess weight, but it wasn’t about chasing a number on the scale. It was a natural result of truly listening to and honoring my body. This journey has never been about appearance—I’ve always loved myself at every size—but about reclaiming my health and feeling truly at home in my body.
Yoga has been the cornerstone of my transformation. It has:
✨ Strengthened my body
✨ Improved my flexibility
✨ Brought a profound sense of peace and balance
Thanks to yoga, I no longer struggle with sleep apnea, knee pain, or back pain. It has helped me step into a healthier, more joyful version of myself.
Now, I want to share this gift with you. Yoga has been my path to healing, and I believe it can help you too. Let’s embrace this journey together.
A Glimpse into My 3-Year Journey Toward Optimal Health
Here’s a glimpse of my 3-year journey toward optimal health, a testament to the fact that transformation is possible—and the best part? I’m still growing stronger and healthier every day.
This is the only place on my website where I’m sharing this level of vulnerability, and I want to be completely honest with you: I wasn’t sure whether I should share before and after photos. But yoga has played such a pivotal role in my healing journey—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—that it felt important to honor that.
This journey has never been about the numbers or what I look like on the outside. It's been about the growth and the deepening into myself. Yoga has allowed me to reconnect with my body in a way that is truly transformative, and I’m so grateful for the strength, peace, and clarity it’s brought into my life.
I hope my story inspires you to embrace your own path to healing, wherever you are right now. Growth is a beautiful, ongoing journey.
