She has studied under the finest leaders from the Amrit Yoga Institute and South West Institute of Healing Arts.Yoga has not only changed her life, but saved it as well. Her passion and niche is Yoga Nidra. Through this effortless technique known as yogic sleep meditation, she found a way to manage stress and the overwhelm of emotions that were getting in the way of living her Soul’s purpose.

Now she leads others in the Black community to do the same. She helps them to uncover the answers to the age-old question, “What’s my purpose?”. Seekers come to her when they are stressed, in need of life support and professional guidance. Because when you’re personally out of alignment, you’re professionally off of assignment.
