One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think traveling is profound and mind opening. I've been blessed enough to see a few countries other than my own like Greece, South Africa, Indonesia, Spain, Georgia, Bulgaria, and Turkey.

Something gutsy I did . . .I jumped out of a plane once in South Africa where I walked alongside cheetahs and elephants at a sanctuary.

I also did a nude photo shoot once to try n' reinforce the body positive mindset I try to carry. It was a powerful exercise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eternally grateful that the world has taught me so much especially over the last two years from emotional detachment and patience to mindfulness, non judgement, and acceptance. Looking forward to learning more and if I can share those experiences that's real cool.

I’m also a certified personal trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine so can train or help create a plan :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A training session or behavior plans since I’m a Behavior Therapist and Personal Trainer.

Time, words of kindness, deep conversation, laughs, respect, experience.

I'd love to cook a meal , take us out to eat, or take us to yoga!
