Our Story
From Stillness to Strength
At 19, I was told my spine was failing. By 40, a family trip to Lake Tahoe ended in a wheelchair, my body paralyzed by the very nerves meant to carry me. After a grueling surgery and years lost to high-dose pain medication, 2018 became my crossroads. I chose to walk away from the fog of pills and alcohol, and toward a radical rebirth.
What began as a solo fight for survival in the US, became a journey of self love, acceptance, community, and healing in the mountains of Nepal and a quiet studio in Canada - a blueprint for overcoming the impossible was created. Today, I am a long-distance runner training for a marathon, but my greatest race is helping you navigate your own adversity. Whether you are battling physical pain, mental hurdles, or seeking mindfulness for a loved one, "Our Story" is about the transformation we achieve together—moving from the depths of suffering into a life of vibrant, intentional motion.
