I loved it enough to go in-house at the largest yoga trade association, trying to make some good from the inside out. It taught me a lot. I came back to the mat.

How I Found Coaching

Something in my life needed to shift.

Years later, I sought out therapy because I was angry — and I was tired of being angry. Not at anything specific, at everything, I think, in the way you get when you've been running hard for a long time and haven't let yourself stop.

Coaching came after that, and not because I sought it. It wasn't my idea — a past employer introduced me to it. I showed up because it was expected. I stayed because something shifted — my vision for myself, my belief in myself, my view of myself. I started to see choice where before I'd only seen obligation — resilience where I'd only seen endurance. Potential I hadn't let myself name.

I knew then I wanted others to have this same shift.

That's why I became a coach.

Neither path was planned. Both asked me to look within and do the work. And the further I went into each, the more I found they were feeding the same thing — a return to myself, one breath and one honest conversation at a time.
