Since childhood, I’ve had a fascination with the elements, the cycles of the natural world, and the functioning of the human body, mind, and spirit, which all came together and crystallized when I discovered Ayurveda. I was deep in physical, mental, and spiritual disease at the time. In a world where not much made sense to me, here was something that finally did. With Myraji’s guidance and sattvic approach, I began to heal and transform beyond what I imagined was possible for myself. When I started my journey, I had Chrone’s Disease, constant anxiety, and addiction, which all resolved in time as I walked the path of Ayurveda that Hale Pule laid out for me. Best of all, I found a new vitality, joy, and freedom in life. Step by step, I learned to trust the cosmic intelligence at play and let life flow with ease. Finally!

From my personal transformation, I hold an unshakable faith that with willingness, commitment, and small shifts towards sattva, anyone can start from anywhere and heal anything. I strive to my clients and students where they are with understanding and empathy, and am blessed to witness their courage and transformations daily. It is a great joy to work with the incredible team at Hale Pule, guiding our clients, students, and each other to come to know ourSelves and feel well in life.

I am an eternal student; you can often find me surrounded by stacks of earmarked and annotated books. My favorite augmenting vegetable is a parsnip, my favorite hobby is afro-latin dancing, and my favorite way to cultivate sattva is to touch a tree and look up to the sky. It always brings me present and coaxes a smile from every cell of my body.

My dharma now is to pass along the gifts Hale Pule gave to me. Thank you for being here. I invite you to connect with me or another staff member if you feel we at Hale Pule can support you to break through limitations and step forward towards who you are meant to be in life.
