How I got here.

I grew up in Indiana, surrounded by open land and slow seasons. Without knowing it, I was learning how living things adapt over time. I moved to the Pacific Northwest and found my way into landscape and interior design, where I learned firsthand how a well-designed space changes how you live inside it.

In 2015 I found Kundalini yoga. It gave me a language for something I'd only known from working with land: you can't force growth. You set the conditions and keep showing up. I've been teaching since 2020.

Recovery found me in 2018.

Sobriety didn't end the work. It asked a better question: what now?

Recovery, like land, isn't something you fix once.

It's something you tend. Over time, breath, the Steps, and what grows in the ground turned out to be three versions of the same practice. Today I bring them together as a Recovery 2.0 Coach, helping people stop managing their lives and start participating in them.
