Energy is what fills our experience on this beautiful planet.
Reiki is a type of energy healing that transfers the intelligence of the universal life force into your body and, similar to acupuncture, can enable relaxation, reduce pain, and restore your body's natural healing processes to promote physical and emotional well-being.
In 2014, I was trained in level I and Level II Reiki in Wilmington, NC. Since then it has been my honor to be a portal for sharing this intelligent, loving and healing energy.

Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension and promotes health. Regular practice improves breathing , increases endurance for other activities, and promotes mindfulness. Take a break from your day. Focus yourself and find clarity.
Yoga saved my life, changed my life and sustains my life.
I found yoga in 2012 due to being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia when I was 20 years old. Out of seemingly nowhere, my body was overcome with an excruciating amount of mysterious pain.
At this time my body was physically healthy according to modern medicine (it always has been) but something was very wrong. Luckily, the doctor that finally diagnosed me did not prescribe me pharmaceuticals, instead he encouraged me to follow a holistic healing path.
Fibromyalgia is caused by a physical or emotional traumatic event and affects the nervous system. In the beginning of my diagnosis it was daunting, but I soon realized that I could work to heal myself and that is exactly what I did and I am still doing today.
My home studio Long Wave Yoga in Wilmington, NC, became a sanctuary and I began a regular asana practice. With a dance and cheerleading background, vinyasa style classes were a natural fit and on top of that, I found this deep philosophy and shifted to a new level with my soul.
As my practice began to deepen, I discovered the magical power of yin yoga and stillness. Together these classes create a beautiful balance in the body, mind, and heart; and are the main styles of yoga I teach.
During my journey, in 2014 I also became trained in Reiki level I + II in Wilmington, NC. Reiki is a type of energy healing that transfers the intelligence of the universal life force into your body. In the beginning, the pain on my body was so severe that I could barely receive touch and my healer, Debra, showed me the power and intelligence of Reiki energy.
I became certified as a way to help heal myself and I am honored to also be a portal for others to experience this amazing healing energy.
I believe we are always students first in the world of yoga, therefore, I constantly practice remembering to allow the divine unfolding of the universe. I trust the universe and have a deep inner knowing that my purpose in this lifetime is to help change the world by spreading the gift of yoga.
I teach at three studios in Asheville, NC. During my classes you will experience support to honor your body, an intention for balance on all levels and space for remembering the gold that exists within us all. Namaste.
