After 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry, I realized that while Western medicine has made remarkable strides in helping us live longer, it doesn't always ensure we feel good as we age. My journey led me to explore Eastern wellness practices, and over two decades, I became deeply immersed in these healing arts.

As a 500-hour registered yoga teacher (RYT) and L2 Reiki practitioner, I began to see the profound benefits of integrating simple practices into daily life.

The Birth of a Balanced Approach to Wellness

My business was born from the desire to share this balanced approach, empowering others to achieve not just longevity but also true well-being.

my personal health journey:

But a voice in my head challenged me, asking "Oh yeah? What are you going to do with all of that extra free time?" Without hesitation, I thought of the most fun and fulfilling thought I could imagine - something completely different from my current life, "I'm going to teach yoga and host retreats at exotic locations around the world, surrounded by my friends." 

As I stared out over the wing of the aircraft, I made a decision: "I want to retire at 50". 

For over 8 years, I had been traveling from California to New York every month chasing a career that I had worked very hard to build. While my career was successful, it came at a cost - my little girls were growing up without me and my health was suffering. I was slightly overweight and dealing with high blood pressure. 

In my late forties, I found myself sitting on a plane, waiting for take-off, with a pit in my stomach that wouldn't go away. 

the life change that got me here:

Two months after my 50th birthday, a pivotal moment arrived when my husband's company sold, giving me the freedom to submit my resignation and finally pursue my dream. 

 I enrolled in a yoga teacher training program, and discovered a new path dedicated to wellness, balance, and the joy of living fully.
