Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Therapist-in-Training, Mystic Mama and Founder of Sattva Wellness.

My mission is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and create a life rooted in purpose, vitality, and clarity.

I’m an intuitive guide, a mama, and a practitioner who knows what it means to walk through fire and rise. After facing my own struggles and healing through Ayurveda, bodywork, and soul work, I’ve dedicated the last two decades to supporting others in their own transformation.

Whether you're seeking nervous system regulation, emotional healing, or a deeper sense of alignment, I'm here to guide you. Through grounded care and embodied practices, I’ll help you access the wisdom within and take aligned steps toward the life you're meant to live.

Together, we’ll clear what no longer serves, reconnect to your inner truth, and build a life that feels whole, wise, and truly yours.

Client Love

“You are an inspiration!”

“You are the hope I needed to move through some serious mud and believe that I can become a confident, fully capable young woman, fiercely passionate but humble in action. I see all that in you and aspire to move through life with such elegance, dignity, and, above all, love. You radiate! Thank-you for being you - for being a light. Not just the kind of light that illuminates a path, but the one that is a reminder that there is light and it is available and abundant to everyone. You once told me "You can have it all" I believe that now! Thank-you!”

— Sarah  R.

Kind Words

“I love the silence, the intention and the presence in your gift.  Thank you for reaching a part of me that has nothing to do but to feel the absence of needing.”
