I am a somatic breathwork facilitator, vinyasa yoga instructor, and PhD candidate at UCLA.

I have been trained in Psychotropic Breathwork, Vinyasa yoga, Yin yoga, Meditation, and Somatic Trauma Release. My academic research, which focuses on memory, migration, and intergenerational trauma, has also deeply informed my somatic healing practices.

After practicing yoga for over a decade, I decided to do my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Red Diamond Yoga in Los Angeles in Fall 2021. It was during this training that I discovered somatic breathwork, and quickly picked up a regular practice guided by my own teacher, Robert Bahedry. During breathwork, I process deep pain, have epiphanies, and connect with my truest self, it is a transformative and sometimes even transcendental experience.

Breathwork allowed me to heal my relationship with myself, make peace with my past, and face the present and future with trust, love, and passion. Participating in a women’s breathwork retreat in May 2023 evoked a deep calling in me to help hold space for others to experience the magic of breathwork.

Since completing my breathwork facilitator training in March 2024 at Red Diamond Yoga, I have had the honor of facilitating breathwork sessions in both private and group settings am super excited to share this practice with you.
