As a child growing up in a small farming community in Southeastern Wisconsin, I ate farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, bone broth soup, and wild game. However, as I matured into a professional businesswoman and mother of five children, I chose convenience food and no exercise as an everyday life practice. That lifestyle worked up until I was about 40 years old. At age 40, I found myself 10-15 pounds overweight, extreme adrenal fatigue, and extremely depressed. I was lucky enough to find myself associated with four other women interested in restoring their youth. During this time, I found that I have a natural desire to learn how to keep my body healthy & saw notable results with adherence to a plan. I also noticed that a few of my coworkers were just as committed as I and did not achieve the same results. After achieving my 200 RYT Alignment Yoga certification in 2016, I decided to concentrate my practice on helping individuals learn what worked for their physical bodies, minds, and souls. Knowing that a significant portion of a person's health is emotional & spiritual, I sought Reiki & Mindfulness Meditation certifications. In 2019, I went to the source of holistic health & studied in Rishikesh, India. At the Vedansha Institute of Vedic Science and Alternative Medicine, I earned a 300 RYT certification in Yoga Therapy. It was there that I learned the answer to "Why could two people eat & exercise in the same way and each has two different results?". Armed with the answer, I now seek to share how to Eat Well, Sleep Well, Think Well, and Age Well! Note: "RYT" = Registered Yoga Training by Yoga Alliance. The governing agency for "yoga trainers in the USA." In total, I have received over 750 hours of training from Registered Yoga Trainers.
