About

I’ve spent my life learning alongside children – first as an international classroom teacher, then as a yoga and mindfulness educator, and now as a curriculum designer and business owner. With 18 years of teaching around the world (UAE, Japan, Germany, Morocco, and the U.S.), I’ve worked with children, families, and communities across diverse cultures and environments.

My journey began with a deep love for language and movement. I studied linguistics and elementary education, fascinated by how kids communicate, grow, and express themselves. Over time, I noticed something that kept tugging at my heart: many children were navigating big feelings without the tools to name them, understand them, or work through them.

That’s when yoga and mindfulness entered the picture. I started blending movement, breath, and emotional learning into my teaching, and everything changed – kids lit up, calmed down, and became more connected to themselves and each other.

What I Create

• Yoga & Mindfulness for Kids – card decks and a coloring book, built for parents, educators, and therapists
• Reset Retreat: Your Self-Guided Vipassana – a self-guided ebook for adults ready to slow down and reconnect
• Wellness Retreats – in-person wellness retreats in Morocco
• Yoga For Every Child (the book) – coming soon

Whether you’re a parent looking for calm-down tools at home, a teacher building SEL into your classroom, or an adult ready for your own reset, I’m here for you. Every offering is playful and practical, rooted in research, and designed to nurture real growth – for kids and grown-ups alike.
