After having my first son I struggled to release the postpartum weight. I was bombarded with low energy and low self-esteem, which was starting to affect my parenting.

I woke up tired and irritable every morning. I couldn't fall sleep at night from stress spirals.
I sat on the bench at a park watching my husband play with my toddler, tired from working all day.
I hid from photos especially if a bathing suit was involved. 
I hated that pattern I saw in myself. After several failed attempts, I started an online wellness coaching business where I posted my own workout and nutrition journey bravely on social media as major accountability. Learning 1) We're never alone. & 2) Community helps form habits. Were game-changers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I began working out 30 mins every other day at home in my small 1 bedroom condo living room,

gradually losing 60+ lbs one online app streaming fitness program at a time.
I had an online support group of women that became friends

and I never forgot the habits that I formed through this experience. 

Then my oldest son was diagnosed with Autism, a mental and nervous system disability that affects your speech, socialization, sensitivities to sounds, lights, and mobility control.

Navigating autism which was entirely new to us 

felt so lonely, overwhelming, and frustrating at times.  

I always knew I wasn't the only parent that felt that way.

7 years into my personal fitness practice, learning so much about autism, emotional regulation, and answering so many questions I had...

Now
I am a Co-Found of Sacred Stories Yoga & 
I lead a Dance-meets-emotional-regulation-healing class called
DANCE ALCHEMY! Dance & Yoga co-taught with my dear friend Celina Goldsmith!
Classes for moms and families 
with an awareness to those with sensory sensitivities.

An awareness to those going through big obstacles.

Now I'm inspired to teach movement to reawaken our magic through life's biggest hurdles.
