• globally speaking, It’s been a week of turbulence, turmoil, and more than a bit of temptation to lash out, speak up, and participate in some pretty ugly conversations. Personally, give yourself permission to “let go and let God” ; tune your observational frequencies to the rhythm of your own heart and celebrate the beginning of your weekend with a simple hour of mindful movement and intentional stillness

TONIGHT, please give yourself an opportunity to practice to back to YOU, to hear your own voice and truth inside of yourself. All ages and experience levels welcome! 4:00 pm at Open Space Studio, above the The Orpheum Cafe and Theater near the Fairfield Square 👩🏼‍🌾

Your food & cooking questions, answered! You’ve got 24 hours (I think?) to respond to my recent “Story” clip, which includes a segment that you can type in anything your heart, mind, and/or bod yearn to learn more about.
My own health & Wellness has been a roller coaster of a guessing game, as I was raised by holistic healers and have lots of immigrant blood coursing through these veins. I’ve turned around my health, balanced my energy levels, and restored my fertility (TMI?) with a scientific understanding of my own plantrician intuition...and I’ve spent years and about a hundred thousand dollars studying human metabolism, advanced biochemistry, biostatistics, and therapeutic cooking to help myself and YOU. 🐝 • • • • • 👩🏼‍🌾

PSA 🌸 Do you miss the cupcakes and baked goods? Me too 😊...I’ve got plans in the works to re-open my locally-inspired artisan dessert operation, with a virtual and shippable twist. I’ll be taking a few preliminary orders at a discounted rate, who’s in?

Question: What do YOU do when you’re sure you’ve reached your patience threshold and the universe slaps you across the face? Stop scrolling (literally. STOP.), and stop watching this same movement clip (that I posted on Sunday) and pause. If you’re on your phone, you have the luxury to look up, peer inward, and actually “like” yourself. .
Take a moment to reflect on the ways in which you show up to yourself when you feel like the world is against you, and nothing is going as planned. .
What helps? What hurts? Comment below and tag a friend who could use a friend right now 🙏🏼 .

Personal victory disguised as an Handstand hold; this was last week, after a Boot Camp class - one of the first times I let myself feel into bigger, more powerful, less cautious movements. It felt incredible to feel sweat dripping from my own body again, to be upside down with the weight of my world held in the trembles of my own fingertips. It didn’t last long, but that was enough. It’s always enough.

Stronger than yesterday.

Let’s all take a study break to scroll and play a little game in the realm of exercise physiology and pathologies 👩🏼‍🏫 For my fellow 👁learners: I’m curious to hear your assessments, thoughts, and insights into these movement patterns - what symptoms do you think I might be presenting with? What feelings and sensations does this evoke for you? If you’ve got anything to share, I’d love to start a conversation going! Leave a brief comment, tag a friend or mentor, and let’s help this little lady get back on track 🙏🏼 .

Hey, friends! After a much-needed hiatus, I feel like I’m finally ready to tip toe back into the health & fitness industry as a wellness coach and educator out here in sunny Southern California. Moving to the west coast threw me farther out of my comfort zone than I knew possible; I’ve taken extra helpings of humility and patience, navigated heartbreak, loss of friends & family, and challenges with my own health...but, here, I also found a greater sense of purpose than I could have dreamed up when I first decided to go back to school.
I took a few months off of work and teaching to tend to my own happiness, grounding, and spiritual perspective as I scrambled to get through a rocky few terms of graduate school. I’m still catching up on 3 weeks of coursework, but I’m feeling more myself than I have in a long time. I hope to never take for granted the importance of self awareness, self care, surrounding oneself with loving, laughing people (and dogs), and taking the time to UNPLUG from the grips of technology & social media.

THAT BEING SAID, I’m back, y’all! I’m working on a few new projects and potential business ventures that I look forward to sharing with you in the near future :) in the meantime, I’d love to hear from you about what sort of yoga/fitness/spirituality/food/STUFF you’d be most interested in seeing from me in the digital world. My heart feels all heavy and out of place without teaching, and I miss my students & fairfield friends on the daily - I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to message me with any ideas or insights that you have, and I so look forward to reconnecting with you soon 💜

Sometimes, I pinch myself in knowing that I even have the small blessing of crossing paths with humans willing to dedicate their lives to helping others.

It’s taken me a few weeks to swallow this loss and publicly share about this event - I was supposed to attend the red carpet event as a guest and watch these beautiful young warriors walk into my own dream prom, a night at the Natural History Museum.

I was too sick and out of student loan funds to take myself there. It’s not about me, so please direct any potential feelings of pity towards this cause because it is fu***ng brilliant.

An unforgettable night for San Diego teenagers with cancer as the non-profit Friends of Scott Foundation hosted a prom just for them.

It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

Long distance love.

I’m glad you’re here.

Welcome! This page will serve as a resource for community engagement and relationship-making as I explore my academic and professional development. Many of you may know me as an Iowa-based yoga teacher, athletic coach, and small-town baking goddess. Now that I live in sunny Southern California, I’m thrilled to be diving deeper into my own study and practice of yoga, and am working on some exciting new ventures as a “teacher” in my new life out here in the West Coast and beyond. My food biz (formerly, “The Farmhouse Kitchen”) has taken a rest as I’ve shifted my focus to a deeper intellecutal and experiential understanding of my own health and technique, and I have a lot of new insights that I look forward to expanding upon and sharing! Writing and I don’t get along as smoothly as it might appear - I’ve been reconnecting with some forgotten creative outlets of mine, and look forward to sharing some new mixed media projects with you soon.

My academic focus is diverse and a bit fungible - I currently attend a Naturopathic Medical School, and am working towards a Master’s of Science in Nutrition for Wellness, with an intended specialization in Plant Spirit Medicine, Integrative Therapeutics, and mind/body/environmental healing through regenerative agricultural practices and blended somatic studies. I’m inspired by indigenous wisdom and the unique beauty of culture; much of my uprbinging and training is grounded in the ancient Vedic tradition and eastern philosphy, and I look forward to widening my scope of understanding and learning through lots of travel and adventuring in the not-so-distant future. I have the softest spot in my heart for working with children, animals, and the underserved and hope to develop unique educational programming, support, empowerment, and equal opportunity for health and wellness tools & strategies...regardless of race, borders, gender, belief systems, or socioeconomic status.

I feel deeply, learn fervently, and love my world with something fierce.

Let’s grow together, shall we?
