I’ve always believed in diversification rather than specialization and turned my passion into career after having my first child.

I discovered yoga in 2002 and fell in love, almost, instantly with the discipline and traveled to India in 2009 to become a certified teacher. I continued pursuing my studies in Vinyasa Flow style with global teachers and In 2015 became a certified Aerial hammock teacher – Another form of movement that makes her ..well .. fly high!

My journey in diversification continues with the completion of Pilates certifications in reformer , Cadillac and mat with Balanced Body Pilates school in 2019.

In my quest of helping myself and my clients feel better about our bodies , I became certified RAD Mobility movement specialist using advanced massage and myofascial release tools in 2020 and currently undergoing studies to become a certified NeuroKinetics Therapist.

And my journey continues by adding Gyrotonic method to my practice and teachings . A unique movement system that uses circular and spiraling motions to increase strength, flexibility, and balance. It combines principles from dance, gymnastics, and yoga to create a fluid workout that opens energy pathways, stimulates the nervous system, and improves the body's overall range of motion.
