About

My story...

I am a vibrancy seeking mama of two, a teacher of yoga, essential oils, and a holistic lifestyle.  In 2014, I created Awaken Seed Essence, a wellness community initially as my own support system and I am honored to be it’s leader.  This beautiful energetic collective of mothers (and the men in their lives), teachers, medical professionals, coaches, entrepreneurs, and more is intended to nourish, empower, and offer tools for a high vibe life.

It is said that a plant doesn’t try to grow...it just does.  It allows and embraces the journey as it comes.  Each and every one of us has an innate ‘seed’ power that with grace and supportive elements aids its growth and essence to come into the physical expression.  It is with that inspiration that this tribe allows space for our essence to awaken...the flourishing of what’s within.  

I teach that which I need to learn most, in an effort to gain mastery.  Teaching yoga and meditation has held me radically accountable for the change I want to see in the world.  In 2001 yoga changed the way I experienced reality.  I will forever be grateful to the practice and a student of its teachings because in so many ways  it has saved me...teaching me what life had not...I learned about myself.  I struggled with consistency in practice on the mat and off.  The fluctuating rhythm of self acceptance and self sabotage.  Ease suffering and inflict pain...through thoughts, choices, distractions, blame, and dependency.  I am filled with such genuine gratitude to every step of the journey at this moment in time, forever empowered with tools for my continued joyous ride.

My family is the biggest blessing in my life for being my rock and showing me what love can do.  I am so proud of my marriage rooted in childhood friendship, laughter, and forgiveness over 27 years.  When we were given our two miracles...I decided to more fully step into being the wife and mother that they all deserve.  A commitment that tests me daily, asking me to reach further past my comfort zone.  

Along the journey of fighting for the best version of myself I began using essential oils.  I was blown away by the benefits we were experiencing.  I began trusting my instincts and connecting to my body and needs and that of my childrens.  Cleaning up our lives and reducing toxic load.  Along with my yoga, I now had the tools to own my stuff and do the work.  Now daily rituals of intentions pair with movement, meditation, and enhanced with the intelligence of nature to anchor me to my purpose.  The impact my commitment to self has made to those around me is profound.  When we decide to take responsibility of the ways in which we distract ourselves we can influence the ones we love.  And it is my continued effort to support others in finding vibrancy for the betterment of their lives and therefore the betterment of the world.
