About Me
I’m a certified Yoga Teacher and professionally trained Life Coach*. I live in San Francisco, CA, with my family and cat Sumsum 🐈 (who you might encounter in our sessions).
I was working as Yoga Teacher and Wellness Specialist for a local skincare startup when I entered the most challenging and life-changing period in my life so far. In 2020, my daughter Leia was born with complex needs and a life-threatening condition. We spent most of 2020 and 2021 in the hospital caring for our daughter. This experience taught me about life and what truly matters, and most of all, the power of showing up in an authentic and meaningful way.
My life’s most challenging times have connected me with my purpose to support others to rise above their hardships, discover their own strength and courage, and move forward. If you are thinking of getting some more support, it would be my privilege to welcome you to my space and to connect. I am here to help shed some light on your path.
* I did my life coach training with the Academy for Coaching Excellence (ACE), a rigorous and International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited coach training program grounded in ontology.
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
