my personal experience has led me to this work. anxiety was my reliable sidekick from early on and faithfully stuck around until my late 20’s.

this, along with struggling against my body and my sensitive and empathic nature were aspects of me i wanted to part from and i did my best to do so.

my approach however led to further and deeper patterns of disordered eating, more anxiety and depression. by the time I was in my 20’s i had a certificate in tourism and was circling in a loop of working in restaurants and traveling with zero idea of my direction in life.

while i grew up on a farm in ontario, i left toronto where i lived to woof (work on organic farms) in costa rica. it was there that i took my first yoga class in a palm hut among the zecadas and the lush surroundings. it was the most uncomfortable, sticky, awkward class - i hated it. but when it was finally over i realized it was the first time i felt light and spacious. i knew i needed this.
