Fitness became a huge source of happiness as well as gaining personal and professional success in the industry in my 20s, prior to that, I had zero interest until Melika asked if id be interested in doing new member gym tours at Oasis Club and Spa. I have worked with her off and on ever since, I always return to her gyms. The energy is too good to stay away for long.

I was a PT for 10 years, a group X instructor for 8 and a figure competitor for 2, before I discovered yoga about 3 years ago. Yoga was prescribed by a holistic doctor in combination with other treatments for severe depression after leaving an abusive relationship.  Ashtanga Yoga, all 8 limbs, was a literal life saver for me. Since then, it has been the most beneficial modality I have added to my curriculum.

I am currently a barber in Sacramento, a mother of a first year UC Davis student, an avid motorcycle rider, a homesteader with no TV and a 500sq ft tiny house. I am an avid marksman as well as training in the compound and recurve bow shooting, On the complete flipside, I have been a seamstress since I was 13 and an obsessive crocheter and embroiderer.
