The first time I was asked to reflect on the question “what is my purpose?” I was in a yoga teacher training. 

I believe that every experience shapes us and provides an opportunity for growth. I experienced loss at a young age, grew up quickly, and put enormous pressure on myself. For many years, I didn’t feel like showing up as my authentic self was enough. I pushed myself to “be better” and achieve more, which wrapped me in a blanket of anxiety — until one day, I woke up feeling numb and tingly in my limbs from hyperventilation. It was here that my journey with wellness began. What started with breathing into a paper bag expanded into mindful movement practices and meditation. I found ways to calm my mind, release self-judgment, give myself grace and trust my inner knowing. It felt like returning home.

 As my journey into motherhood began, I found myself overwhelmed, exhausted and at a crossroads with my career. So I got curious and started listening to what I really wanted deep down. The little voice inside my head started to grow louder and not long after, Expand Beyond was born: a cocoon to support you in your journey of healing, growth and transformation.

As a wellness coach, I will hold space for you (and your little ones) to show up as you are and share from your heart. I will meet you where you are, with open arms, and celebrate you in every stage of your journey.
