Wanderlust: is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or, in modern usage, to travel and to explore the world
I am a creative Yoga Artist who dabbles in super unique ways to inspire the world and live through creativity! I teach Yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and write, sing, photograph, and document whatever I can to help save the World and create a more peaceful and kind society. I stay near in the ocean, I swim in the sea, I chase rainbows, and I believe sunsets are always the best part of every day. Besides being artsy, I love to explore, adventure, see new cultures and climates, and create ways to promote sustainability. As a student of life, an advocate for the new generations, I seek to inspire others to pursue their passions, live with purpose, and truly follow you BLISS in whatever will bring you true love, happiness, and freedom to be YOU in all you do.
I reside in San Diego. Hit me up for Foodie Photography, journalism, and other ways YOU can market yourself better, and promote your own beauty. I shoot food photography, write, critique, and take sports photos and portraits as well. As a marketing magician I consult people on how to live their dreams and pursue their passions. I am a Wellness advocate as well, coaching people through Yoga and mindful techniques on how to overcome pain, suffering, limitations, and empower themselves to live happier and healthier. Ultimately, it is up to you to tap into your heart and create the happiest life ever! I can help you transform.
My first trip out of the country was just before my senior year of High school, my Dad somehow got tickets to the Athens 2004 Olympics, an obvious event we could not turn down. Since then, I’ve been bit by a serious travel bug. I love exploring the cultures, seeing what life is like outside of California, or even the USA, meeting people, and understanding that their is a whole big world out there beyond what I know and have seen. It fascinates me. My hobby of photography has evolved into a mission and passion, in conjunction with my travels. I’ve made it my life goal to continue to wander the world as best I can and capture memories, moments, and places, that I’m fortunate enough to see. I want to share my travels and experiences with the world so others can understand how amazing other countries and places are.
“Not All Wanders are Lost”
I’ve taken many trips abroad. From touring Italy by train to roaming Switzerland and
climbing the matterhorn and seeing the ancient Olympic Museum to finally arriving at Athens, Greece, for the 2004 Olympics, my wanderlust mentality was born. I’ve loved getting away, using my camera to capture the world, and love exploring, meeting new people and having new adventures. Yes, I am your typical free spirit, humanitarian, Aquarius!
In college I began serving The Wheelchair Foundation for my Senior project at Cal Poly SLO. I was fortunate enough to serve as a photographer on a team that worked year round to raise money for Wheelchairs for third world countries. I loved fundraising and using my photos to tell stories and create change in the world. That project took me all over Peru and later to Panama. I knew I wanted my life to be of service and was forever changed in wanting to pursue humanitarian projects and work in ways to better the world.
I found Yoga and continued to harness my soulful spirit and follow my heart to do what I enjoyed. After being laid off at my ‘big girl’ dream job at an Ad Agency, I was able to move
into teaching yoga, coaching Yoga trainings, and living a lifestyle more in alignment with my heart. I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and that everyone mission is to find something that feeds you and endlessly pursue it. I quickly became engaged in the CorePower Yoga community and lead their Seasonal Wellness Program in San Diego. I discovered through teaching, that it brings me great joy when I serve and help others. While teaching I studied spirituality, Ayurveda, Vedic teachings, and more. I love educating on natural health and wellness through my own life experience, and teaching people how to look good and feel good daily!
My life is my journey. I am grateful for the good people who have showed up and helped me. I am a free spirit and creative mystic that likes to have fun. I am a writer for Yoga Digest, and am currently working on many other creative endeavors and projects. I shoot photos, create as much as I can, and love to sit and have a good view, glass of wine, and conversation. Life is what you make of it, why not enjoy it now?
The more Love we can hold in our life, the more we can give, and the better we can all become. I aim to create beauty in the world through my endless involving passion and pursuits. May my message inspire you, and may we all learn to cultivate balance, mindful living, and allow us all to truly follow the endless pursuit of heart. It is in living with joy we are able to sustain ourselves better, and live more connected to the endless force of love that resides within and around us all!
