I am a queer Afro-Latine restorative yoga teacher and Reiki healer, offering practices centering rest. I carry roots from the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, where the teachings, traditions, and resilience of my ancestors, both living and passed, continue to guide me. Their wisdom lives in the ways I move through the world, shaping my relationship to community, care, and belonging.

My life journey is also held by the places that have formed me. From Newark, New Jersey, on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the Munsee-speaking Lenape people, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the ancestral lands of the Adena, Hopewell, and Monongahela peoples and later Queens, New York, the unceded territories of the Canarsie, Matinecock, and Munsee Lenape peoples (Lenapehoking). These places live in my body informing how I listen, how I hold space, and how I understand belonging. Today, I make my home in Vancouver, on the unceded and stolen territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

 As a lifelong student of movement, my yoga journey began over a decade ago as a dance major. At first yoga was a way to supplement my dance career but as my practice began to deepen the truth of yoga began to unfold in me. In 2021, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Sacred Social House (formerly Prana-Veda). Drawn to the quiet bridge between body, movement, and energy, I received Reiki Level 1 training from Sacred Space Astoria in Queens, NY, and Reiki Level 2 from MahaRose in Brooklyn, NY. I completed my 90-hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Jillian Pransky Yoga and am currently working toward a 50- hour Trauma-Informed Yoga for Social Justice certification with Susanna Barkataki alongside a 30-hour Somatics Foundations for Q/T & BIPOC Practitioners (Earth - Regenerating Safety) course with Fayza Bundalli.   

My offerings center QTBIPOC and aim to foster a space where slowing down, returning to breath + connecting to Land, Spirit and our bodies feel a bit more accessible in our ever-changing, violent world. Rest is reclaimed as a birthright, a way to remember the wisdom carried through our lineages and bodies. Rest becomes a pathway to come home to Self, reclaim agency, and to imagine healing beyond urgency.

My hope is that together we can create a space to show up just as we are; a space where our identities, fatigue, rage, grief and joy are honored and held with compassion.
