My Story

My journey into health and holistic living began when I was young. From as early as I can remember, I was driven by a deep curiosity about life’s mysteries and the wonders of the human body. As a child I was drawn to shows about health, the cosmos, and the miracle of birth—growing up my path felt clear, but I had a fair share of obstacles along the way.

Throughout my teenage years I battled with disordered eating patterns and struggled with body image. After I lost my father to cancer when I was 15 years old, I became 70 pounds overweight in just a matter of months. In a quest to self-heal, I unknowingly embarked on what has become a lifelong exploration of the deep inter-connectedness between the mind-body relationship.

I graduated DePaul University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science, and filled my free time with philosophy classes, exploring consciousness and human psychology. During my junior year, I experienced debilitating stomach pains that left me in a week-long hospitalization with no discernible diagnosis. It was in this moment Ayurveda was staring me directly in the eye, waiting patiently for my moment of awakening.

It wasn't until I attended my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Greece, where I was introduced to the profound wisdom of Ayurveda. In that transformative moment, everything fell into place. Ayurveda spoke to the depths of my soul, offering a path to balance & understanding, and fulfilling the innate yearning for a comprehensive life science that honors the intricate personalized interplay between mind and body.

Today, I am humbled and honored to share the profound teachings of Ayurveda with you. It is my belief that through this ancient practice, we can all find harmony and healing for body, mind and soul.
