About me
My family is my inspiration . My girls are my "why", my biggest challenges, my guinea pigs when it comes to my first students and my recipes(!), and the heart and soul in everything I do. I became inspired to help other people because of how I was able to help them. We love to travel, go to the theatre, music, dancing in the kitchen, and cooking and dining together.
As for me, I love all things creative. I love art, dance, music, and theatre. I grew up a theatre kid, became a film maker, and then became a photographer. Yoga saved my sanity and was my path into learning about mindfulness and positivity. I have multiple certifications in yoga and mindfulness and have studied Positive Psychology, the Science of Happiness, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I incorporate all of this training and research into all my teachings because I have seen it work! My goal in each class I teach is that everyone feels better leaving the room than when they entered it!
Positive Change
My wish is to bring more joy and positivity to you through mindfulness and optimism. I started in my own home with myself, then my husband and 3 children and have passed it onto thousands of students from there in my previous job as co-founder of Mud Flower Yoga for 5 years. I have worked with thousands of students and teachers in the Texas education system, bringing mindfulness into schools as well as to hundreds of families! Prior to that I was lucky enough to spend 20 years working with kids and adults in the musical theatre industry.
I teach with irreverence, truth, humor, creativity, energy, 80's rock music, and big-hearted themes inspired by my life experiences. I believe that everyone is creative, there is no such thing as failure, and age is just a number. My hope is that my students leave my class feeling refreshed, inspired, energized, and with a seed of hope and positivity to carry them through the day, week, or month ahead of them.
