OBJECTIVE

Experienced wellness professional and sought-after speaker with over a decade in the health and wellness industry. I bring a unique blend of business acumen, community building, and embodied teaching to every project I’m part of. As a 500hr Yoga Teacher and clinic owner (Manual Osteopath, CNP, Reiki Master), I’ve created transformational spaces on and off the mat. I'm passionate about collaborating with values-aligned brands and organizations to deliver high-impact experiences—whether that’s teaching at large-scale events, leading trainings, or hosting intentional conversations in the wellness space.
