Hello love! I'm glad you're here!
I'm a Yoga & Meditation Teacher & Reiki Practitioner who helps
individuals struggling with trauma learn to truly love themselves by
helping them build their own healthy, self-love “ritual recipes.”
Yoga. Meditation. Reiki.
About Me
I began my spiritual journey, at the age of six years old, when I started meditating with my Dad. In high school, I became an avid runner & as a young adult, I had established a strong workout ethic that always included stretching to relieve sore muscles. In 2005, I attended my first yoga class, in New York City,
& realized that yoga brought together the practices
of meditation & stretching, two of my favorite activities, & I never looked back!
​
A few years later, I made the decision to go to yoga school after a car accident left me in a lot of pain & yoga was recommended as a way to heal & strengthen my back & core. While in yoga school, I had the opportunity to look deeper within myself &
I was finally able to begin the healing process from a sexual assault I had experienced earlier in my life. By attending yoga school & furthering my studies of Ayurveda, Meditation & Reiki, I was able to find my voice, regain my self-confidence & inner strength & learn to love myself again.
​
Are you ready to learn how to forgive yourself, love yourself fully,
get "unstuck" & take the initiatives to make SELF-LOVE & SELF-CARE
your TOP priorities?
I've got you!
Introducing AMOR!
AMOR means LOVE in Spanish & Portuguese & is the name of my signature, six-week program that incorporates – Ayurveda, Meditation, Offerings & Reiki. My online program is curated individually, for each client, who has suffered through traumatic experiences in life, negative (sexual assault, divorce or separation or the death of a loved one) or positive (the birth of a child, moving to a new city or starting a new job).
The program is designed based on the client's specific dosha, & self-love needs & goals – to inspire my clients to create & implement his or her own daily self-care "ritual recipe" for regained love, growth & success.
My ultimate goal for this program is to share the practices & self-care rituals that have helped me, on my personal wellness journey, with other individuals, who have experienced suffering & trauma, learn to love themselves unconditionally & understand that self-love & self-care are the keys to a happy, healthy life!
