Most of the time, you’ll find me behind the scenes at Heartwork—tending to the rhythms that keep our space flowing, curating offerings and spaces with intention, and holding quiet containers for others to rest into. My path to where I am now has been anything but simple or straightforward.

I have always been a deeply sensitive soul. From a young age, I could feel the unspoken—the emotions humming beneath the surface, the tension others carried but never voiced. Like many sensitive children, I didn’t know what to do with everything that I absorbed. I often felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like I was carrying more than was really mine. For a long time, I thought there was something wrong with me.

What I have come to understand is that sensitivity is not a flaw—it is a gift. It is the thread that weaves me back to myself again and again. It’s what allows me to notice the smallest details, to move gently, to hold space with compassion. My sensitivity has become the compass for my healing and the heart of my work.

Over the years, I’ve discovered practices that help me ground, soften, and feel at home in my own body: yoga, breathwork, nervous system care, simplicity, and spiritual connection. These are not quick fixes or techniques to push through discomfort. They are invitations—to pause, to listen, to move at the pace your heart and body need.

This is the essence of what I share now: spaces where sensitive souls can arrive just as they are. My yoga classes and offerings are less about stretching into shapes and more about remembering—remembering how to be in your body with trust, presence, and love. They are places where sensitivity is not only welcomed, but celebrated.

I believe that many of us are carrying hidden weight—emotions we’ve absorbed, expectations we’ve inherited, patterns that aren’t really ours. My work is about creating spaces where you can gently set some of that weight down. Where you can find steadiness again. Where you can reconnect with the quiet wisdom inside that says: you are safe now.

Healing isn’t linear and it isn’t something we “arrive at.” It’s a lifelong unfolding. Sensitivity, when we tend to it well, can guide us through that unfolding with grace.

If you’ve ever felt like or told you were “too much” or “not enough”…if you’ve ever longed for a slower, more compassionate way of being in your body and in the world…I’d be honored to walk alongside you. To breathe with you. To hold space for your remembering.

Our sensitivity is sacred. And when we learn to honor it, we discover it was leading us back home to ourselves all along.
