My Story

I had practiced many different types of yoga and enjoyed them all. However, it was 28 years ago when I walked into my first Kundalini Yoga class at the home of iconic yogi, Gurmukh, in Los Angeles not knowing what to expect, that I had a life changing cathartic experience, I felt every emotion and cried many tears and knew that this was what I had been searching for. I now know I had no real understanding of what this was and how far it would take me! 

I wanted to immerse myself in it, took as many classes as I could and started volunteering at Yoga West yoga studio & GRD Ashram. When Gurmukh opened her first Golden Bridge yoga studio I knew I needed to be there, I began doing work exchange so I could be there and soak up everything, I took as many classes as I could fit in each day around my acting classes, auditions and restaurant jobs. I also took my first 200 hr Teacher Training certification course, absolutely loved it! 

Then my life completely changed direction when I was offered and excepted the position of Manager for the studio. This was an amazing time of study and growth in my life, I took my 500 hr Teacher Training certification course, began my study of Reiki, Sat Nam Rasayan, and Sound Healing, went on my first journey to India, did my first cleanse, taught hundreds of classes to thousands of people, took my pre/post natal Teacher Training, and was part of so many personal life events. To sum it up I learned the foundation for everything that serves me in my life today and I have been studying, practicing, and teaching it all ever since.

Again, I was offered an incredible opportunity,  this time to move to New Mexico to live and work in community at the Mother Ashram.

I worked for 3HO in many capacities including Program Manager at the International Summer & Winter Solstice Sadhana Events,  Women's Camp, Khalsa Youth Camp, and as Assistant Director at the Masters Touch Intensive Teacher Training programs. 

I was also blessed to work at the Religious non-profit, Sikh Dharma International. I served as the Director of Historical Yatra journeys to India and also developing our service to individuals & communities through the knowledge of this path and the tools that support it. 

Then, the most wonderful thing unfolded for me,  to live, study and teach in India, this was amazing and a dream come true for me. I rented a beautiful home in Amritsar (the City of nectar) where I created a guest house for women traveling and studying abroad. I had the gift and opportunity to live in community, be immersed in the history, spiritual places, and study with Masters of Ayurveda, Reiki, Gurbani Kirtan, and traditional Indian dance. Places I had dreamed of going were now my daily life and routine! I traveled extensively during my 10 years there, going to as many places as I could. Now it is a passion of mine to share my knowledge and experience with others as I guide them on Yatras, their own spiritual journeys traveling in India.

During that time, I was the Director of Dashmesh Sadan, a picturesque Retreat and Training Center in Anandpur Sahib, India, where I was again able to use all of my skills and passions to serve hundreds of students, seekers, and teachers on their journey. It was a very special time in my life and I cherish all of the relationships and chosen family that I still have from this blessed time. 

I now live in my original home, San Diego, CA where I continue to serve, teach and nurture all souls that I meet. I look forward to meeting you, seeing you in class or at a workshop, guiding you through a cleanse or a yatra to India, or where ever it may be. 

I’ve dedicated my life to these tools of transformation, knowing that my path is to support and serve all I meet with the technology of Yoga & Meditation and the tools of the Art & Science of Ayurveda.
