Passion for Ayurveda and Yoga

From my personal experience of living with two titanium rods aligning my spine, I know what its like to be safe and careful in almost every activity I do.
Ayurveda and spirituality arrived in my life after I was diagnosed with an eating disorder called Orthorexia (an "obsession" with healthy eating).
This completely changed the direction of how I approached life and health. Ayurveda came to be a source of guidance, community, healing and love.

Through Ayurveda, I have learned to view life in a different perspective. From a place of optimism, love and acceptance for who I truly am. My limitation has given me the ability to help others, to relate to people, and to be compassionate towards others.

Over the past year my passion for teaching children and young adults Yoga, meditation, and applying the principles of Ayurveda has blossomed.
Something you may not know about me is my strong desire to fulfill what I have come to believe is my life's purpose - to become an Ayurveda Practitioner.

Asking for help is not easy. The cost you see here is the cost it will require for me to fulfill this dream.
Thank you for the consideration and curiosity for helping me fund this dream and help others.

What is Ayurveda?

"Thousands of years before modern medicine provided scientific evidence for the mind-body connection, the sages of India developed Ayurveda, which continues to be one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful mind-body health systems. More than a mere system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential."
- Chopra Center

With your help, I can expand my work to educate, empower, and motivate people on the importance of Ayurveda, Yoga and Nutrition so they can connect to their life's purpose.

With my previous knowledge and skills gained with a B.A in Health Education and Behavior from the University of Florida and Certified Hatha and Kundalini Yoga Instructor, this is the next step on my journey to heal others.

My intention is to bring knowledge and wellness to every setting, to each person, to each individual life. The workplace, the home, elders, children.

Every generation matters. My passion is to help the younger generations understand and live with a foundation of peace and fulfillment. Together we can initiate a change that connects our generations.

As an entrepreneur and teacher, my goal is to help people. By helping me, you are helping thousands. My deepest gratitude to you for reading and considering my request.
