ABOUT ME
Yoga and meditation are my favorite forms of self-care. If you’ve heard of yoga before but feel like you’re not flexible enough, not sure how or where to start, or not enough time for any type of self-care, then you’re in the right place.
I’ve got your back!
It’s my passion and purpose to help you feel better in body and mind with yoga and meditation!
Whether you’re completely new, flexible as a pretzel or completely stressed out behind your desk every day, you can start today. Because if you can breathe, you can do yoga and meditation! I’ve been through my trail and errors and found my way. Read below how it all started for me…

MY STORY
Ballet to Yoga
I was born and raised in The Netherlands with a Dutch-Mexican background. As a young teen I attended a semi-professional ballet school. At first I started doing yoga to become more flexible and lose weight. But it gave me much more than that!
Moving Meditation
Yoga became my way to move mindfully, like a moving meditation. It helped me to drop into my body and release anxiety. Slowly I started to incorporate meditation into my practice. It wasn’t easy to sit still with my thoughts and it’s still not always easy, but this is completely normal!
Positive Changes and Big Moves
A mindful morning routine with my yoga practice was like an anchor as I moved through college, got married and left The Netherlands to start a new life in the USA.
Yoga took on a whole new form. There was not always time or opportunity to do a yoga class. But one deep breath and a stretch go a long way!
Yoga Teacher
When I started teaching yoga, it was a gift on so many levels.
It’s priceless to see that healthy glow on my students’ faces after a class! Seeing my students improve at their own pace, feeling empowered on their yoga mats makes my heart dance!
Taking the 200 HR Uplifted Yoga Teacher Training was the best thing I’ve ever done! I will always be a student first and love learning more and sharing my knowledge with you!
Motherhood
Yoga continued to be a gift during my pregnancy, unmedicated childbirth and motherhood. If you are a pregnant or a mom and you would like to experience more bliss with yoga, mediation and mindset work based on your wishes and needs, schedule a private yoga session with me here.
Yoga is Self-Care for Your Body, Mind & Soul!
