Over twenty years ago, I embarked on a journey chasing monkeys through jungles, luring bears in the temperate rainforest, and immersing myself in remote landscapes and cultures. Working in wildlife ecology was exhilarating but also demanding, pushing me to my limits physically, mentally, and emotionally. While in the jungles of Thailand, covered in biting insects with the worst heat rash I've ever had, I was forced to learn to focus on the movements of the monkeys I was collecting data from versus the discomfort, annoyance, and real threats of snakes and tigers or I couldn't do my job each day. This is how I discovered mindfulness and, eventually, yoga, offering me survival tools and a way to find stillness in the storms.

​

These practices became my anchor, helping me heal from trauma, navigate the chaos of life, and even reawaken my mind after becoming a mother. They taught me that resilience isn't just about endurance but a deeper connection. Our brains can rewire, our hearts can open, and we can move through life with the right tools with greater awareness and grace.

​

Now, I combine my science background with mindfulness, yoga, and education to help others reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Whether in the wilderness or guiding my children through a moment of overwhelm, my mission remains to empower people with the skills to thrive during their "one wild and precious life."
