A Return to Alignment in How You Live, Move and Engage with Life
My Story
My work is rooted in a lifelong immersion in Daoist practice and a deep curiosity about the unseen patterns that shape how we live. That path grew into an invitation to a sacred lineage. As a 15th Generation Wudang Sanfeng Pai practitioner, 26th Generation Longmen Pai practitioner and Tai He Dao Priestess, I continue to walk the conscious life I was born into, one that emphasized awareness, balance and connection from an early age.
Over the years, that foundation has continued to unfold through study, lived experience and embodied practice. It is from this place that I share my work with others, supporting greater clarity, vitality and alignment while helping each person reconnect with their own natural rhythm and flow.
Alongside this path, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Financial Services and Corporate Finance, which shaped a practical understanding of structure, decision-making and resource management. This perspective naturally complements my work, offering a grounded approach that supports both inner alignment and the practical ways we organize, navigate and engage with daily life.
As my understanding has deepened, my work has evolved into an integrated approach that brings together movement, environment, daily habits and personal patterns. Whether through in-home sessions, Dao Moving Meditations or Yi Jing guidance, the intention remains the same: to help others cultivate greater awareness and return to a way of living that feels balanced, grounded and in harmony with their own nature.
Fencing has also been an important part of my journey. What began during college in San Francisco grew into competitive training at both local and national levels, followed by coaching and leadership within the United States Fencing Association. I later continued coaching in Colorado and helped expand the Fencing Academy of Denver into Loveland. The discipline of fencing continues to shape my work, refining awareness, timing, precision and presence in ways that naturally extend beyond the sword into everyday life.
Across everything I offer, the intention is simple: to support a life lived with greater awareness, balance and alignment, both within yourself and in relationship with the world around you.
