About me

When teaching yoga and offering treatments, I create a space for people to reconnect with their bodies, helping them return to the natural flow of life. In our age of disembodiment, many see the body as something to control rather than listen to, often overriding its wisdom.

 

I believe that building safety and trust within ourselves and our surroundings is essential to living fully. This is why I advocate for embodiment, self-awareness, and developing a compassionate relationship with all parts of ourselves, This means embracing and building capacity to be with even the parts we might have ignored, avoided or hidden.

 

My passion for healing grew from my own journey. When I began yoga and meditation in my mid-twenties, it awakened a deep need for self-exploration. I started questioning everything: my beliefs, behaviors, and the sources of my pain and addictions

This sparked a deep desire to understand the complexities of being human. At the time, I felt broken and lost, struggling with physical pain, anxiety, and low self-worth. I couldn’t safely express my authentic self, even with close friends or partners, and was weighed down by shame and unresolved trauma.

 

Driven by intensity, I turned to spirituality for healing, immersing myself in trainings, retreats, and endless teachings, spending all my winters in India. Yet, despite all my efforts, my pain and disconnection remained, and I saw contradictions between who I wanted to be and how I was actually living.

 


Like many on the spiritual path, I had bypassed my body, focusing on transcendence without fully processing my pain and trauma. Despite having many tools, it wasn’t until I integrated spirituality with science that true change began.

Through studying neurophysiology, trauma, and working with Somatic Experiencing therapists, I began to process the stress stored in my body and learn tools to regulate my internal states, creating new positive pathways in my brain and experiencing post traumatic growth.

 

After a few years, I began training in Somatic Experiencing, which I am currently still completing. I remain in awe of the power of this modality and integrate SE principles into my teachings.

 

The nervous system governs all systems in our body; as it becomes more regulated, we gain the capacity to handle life’s joys and challenges. This shift improves sleep, relationships, reduces symptoms, and helps us respond thoughtfully instead of reactively, allowing our true, whole selves to emerge.

This journey inspired me to create Ma. I’m grateful to offer asana, bodywork, pregnancy support, singing, ceremony, workshops, retreats, and blogs. We thrive in brave, connected spaces where we can meet ourselves as we are. We’re wired for connection.

Jai Ma.
