KNOW ME

I first discovered yoga at 15 and was hooked from day one—teaching by 21!

Family is everything—my husband Ryan and daughter Stella keep me grounded and inspired daily and my parents live in the same neighborhood as me! I spend almost every day with them.Ā 

When I’m not teaching or in the studio running our businesses, you’ll find me on a patio in the sun with a dirty martiniĀ šŸø and a dozen oysters 🦪, or planning my next get away!Ā āœˆļø

As a Black-owned business, Southern Soul Yoga + Pilates is built on a foundation of inclusivity and representation. I’m dedicated to creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered in their wellness journey.

I’ve been known to start spontaneous dance parties, sometimes in inappropriate placesĀ šŸ’ƒšŸ½

Ā I’m a bit of a bookworm, always diving into the latest wellness or business read (ask me for recs!).
