Hello There! I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, with many years living in the beautiful country of Mexico. While in Mexico, I started my own Yoga Studio & Wellness Practice based out of my home in Puerto Vallarta. During that time, I also began an ambitious venture by working side by side with the owner of Moffitt Wellness Retreat, a Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program, as the Operations Director & Yoga Teacher. When I moved to San Miguel de Allende, my primary goal was to start a family, which thankfully happened only 3 months into living here. The wonders of motherhood took me over physically and spiritually as I dedicated my time towards raising my new born child. Once my daughter grew into her own a bit, I started venturing back into the world of teaching yoga at Float Sano off of Hernandez Macias. With inspiration through spiritual ceremony, I have come back into my own with the passion to create a wellness business of unity between community teachers, healers, and students a like.
