My background is a mix of student, teacher, adventurer, and seeker. Dharma-Tao Yoga, massage, and therapeutic bodywork allows me to fulfill my life purpose to serve, teach, and care for others. I discovered my life purpose through the path of surrender. I used my passion for learning to acquire proficiency in classical Yoga and various hands-on bodywork modalities with which I am able to serve and care for others.
