CURRENT MISSION

Cultivate awareness and collective positive thought.

ABOUT ME

I'm a kind soul with a fun, positive, no drama attitude. I am a Yoga Teacher and studying to be a certified Health Coach. I grew up in Annapolis, MD and absolutely love being on the water or amongst the trees. I love to sing and harmonizing with others bring me true joy. Music and singing and feeling natural rhythms really ignite my soul.
I'm still figuring out what it is that I want to do "when I grow up" so I'm taking time to experience the world. I have growing interests in Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, Psychology, and Harmony.
I want to empower others through cultivating self-awareness and healthy choices to make this world a better place.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn and better myself from my experiences.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

There are too many amazing things to name just one:

1) I conquered a cigarette addiction!
2) I recently came within 20 feet of a Bald Eagle eating a seal carcass while kayaking.
3) I've come face to face (6ft) with an owl... we just looked at each other for a few minutes.
4) I've been surrounded by a pod of dolphins.
5) I went scuba diving once when I was little. Saw a shark. Would love to go again one day.
6) One summer I worked at a camp for kids as a naturalist director. Another summer I worked for the same camp instructing canoeing and was a sailing assistant.
7) I helped birth a piglets once... I love animals but WOW that was a messy experience! loved it.
8) I've photographed a surgery
9) I've had the opportunity, twice, to learn from cadavers.
