“Your Past is behind you, your Future is ahead of you, your Present is with you, right here, right now, and every moment of every day.

Be mindful of your Present. It’s a Gift.”

healing through words, wisdom, & movement

My Journey began about 15 years ago, when I dipped my toes into my first yoga practice. Over the last few years I had contemplated becoming a yoga teacher, and finally took the plunge in September 2021. The Universe must have known that I would need this training, that this was My Journey, as only a few months later I lost my only sibling.

Life will throw you off center, we never know what the future holds. When my brother, David, convinced himself that his life no longer mattered here on Earth, I lost my center. I lost my grounding, my focus, my Self. While navigating through my overwhelming grief, the direction of My Journey became clear. My commitment to sharing with First Responders the profound benefits that yoga practice and yoga philosophy can provide will continue to be My Journey, My Focus, My Center.

Nemo’s Journey 

In 2013, I saw a woman with two adorable puppies, and just had to pet them. The woman told me the puppies had a third sibling, which she was unable to take. I felt so sad for this third puppy, having lost his brother and sister, I just had to take a glimpse, and it was love at first sight! He was quickly on his way to his new home.  For the first few months, each time I brought my hand within a foot of his mouth, he opened it slightly, and one day it reminded me of a fish.  And that’s how his official name, Nemo, was born.  Nemo has been my unwavering companion, my comfort in times of sadness, always living in the present moment.  Nemo’s Journey has been interwoven with mine, and will always be present within My Journey.
