About Me

For over a decade, I worked with vulnerable homeless and at-risk youth as a Child and Youth Worker. I provided essential resources like food and clothing and connected these young individuals with vital services such as  education, professional help, housing, and healthcare. My commitment extended to working in a detention center, where I helped integrate youth back into the community by linking them to crucial post-release services.

Despite the fulfillment this work brought me, the relentless challenges, including funding cuts and systemic inefficiencies, eventually led to burnout. Realizing the need for self-care, I took a sabbatical that steered my journey to Bali. It was there that I encountered the transformative power of holistic practices, particularly breathwork. From my very first session, I experienced an immediate shift—my mind slowed, my body synced, and I felt a profound sense of clarity and calmness wash over me.

This practice wasn't just rejuvenating; it was revolutionary. Breathwork guided me to overcome physical ailments like asthma, nasal polyps and snoring caused by mouth breathing, and it equipped me to manage stress more effectively, eradicating my panic attacks, persistent anxiety and restless mind. More importantly, it allowed me to introspect deeply, giving me greater control over my thoughts and habits.

Driven by these life-altering benefits, I've spent the last three years deeply engrossed in studying and sharing the wonders of breathwork. I firmly believe that by tapping into our breath and understanding its impact, anyone can initiate significant and lasting changes in their life.  Currently I finished the Functional Breathing Instructor training with Oxygen Advantage where I want to continue working with helping others improve their functional breathing as well as learn to use breath as a tool to tap into the nervous system.  Let me guide you on this journey of transformation, where you'll learn not just to breathe properly, but to live more profoundly.

My Approach

At the core of my practice lies a deeply personal approach, shaped by techniques and insights that have significantly transformed my own life. I believe in the power of authenticity and experience, which is why I integrate methods into my sessions that I have personally explored and found profoundly effective. This approach ensures that every technique I teach is grounded in genuine understanding and practical utility. My commitment extends beyond conventional strategies; I strive to tailor each session to reflect both the universal principles of healing and the unique needs of each individual. By sharing what has personally helped me to grow and heal, I aim to provide not just guidance but also inspiration, encouraging everyone I work with to discover and embrace their own path to wellness.
