About this Retreat
Following a life-changing sacred plant ceremony at the tail end of yoga teacher training, I have focused my life on providing consciousness-expanding experiences to people that could benefit from them. As they have helped me heal the many traumas of growing up gay, I have been particularly passionate about the healing that could be brought to this population though the intersection of sacred plants, embodiment modalities, and modern psychology. I am still a student on my own path, and I am happy to walk this path in community with others.
I am a meditation guide and yoga facilitator. I have been studying meditation with Lorin Roche, author of the Radiance Sutras, since 2017. This philosophy of mediation views ordinary moments (such as the breath, sensations and emotions) as opportunities to connect with the most intimate experiences of life. This tantalizing, delicious perspective of life has helped me find gratitude, beauty, and joy all around me, and is a perspective I am thrilled to share.
I was been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 15 years, but I’ve recently relocated to Costa Rica to co-found the Jungle Gayborhood retreat center and community, and was an early collaborator at our neighboring retreat center, Holos Diamante.
I am so excited to join forces with my brother to create a dream vacation for our most loved friends & family. This has been a dream of ours since my brother and I became certified yoga instructors in Bali together in 2017.
I have been a professional figure skater for the past 25 years, as well as a 4x US Gold Medalist, US Pro-Open Creative Visionary Champion & ProSkaters Speciality Act Champion. My focus, work-ethic, and love for creative collaboration have lead me to a fulfilling career as an international performer, becoming the only woman worldwide to perform a backflip on ice, with fire.
Off the ice, I am a certified Yoga and Aerial Yoga instructor, as well as a holistic health coach. I am currently working to create a platform to combine yoga, health coaching and integration coaching to support young athletes who are struggling with mental health.
I have also served as president for a non-for-profit organization, connecting professional athletes with well-known trusted producers to stay connected and employed.
My travel and experience has lead me to work with some of the most reputable directors & producers within the professional industry. This has allowed me to create a productive, safe and fun working environments wherever I go.
I look forward to hosting you at the Jungle Gayborhood this May!
