Founder of Mindful Leaps Wellness

My life has been full of many experiences and opportunities—from a career in the corporate world to a journey into health and wellness. Through it all, I strive to move with love, compassion, and kindness, sharing what I’ve learned to help others navigate life’s challenges and embrace its beauty.

My Journey Into Wellness

After earning an undergraduate degree in the arts and a master’s degree in business administration, I spent years in the corporate world. But a simple decision to take a psychology class changed the direction of my life. One class became many, which eventually led me into a graduate program in Counseling Psychology at Florida International University.

From there, I earned my license as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)—but my desire to understand wellness more deeply kept growing. I discovered the transformative power of yoga at a studio that taught me it’s about much more than poses. I went on to complete a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500) certification, and from there, my learning only expanded:

• Yoga Therapy – helping people integrate mind-body healing in a therapeutic setting

• Ayurveda Coaching – personalized wellness routines based on ancient wisdom

• Reiki Energy Healing – restoring balance through gentle, hands-on practice

• Pilates Teacher Training – supporting strength, alignment, and movement health

With each modality, my own wellness journey evolved—and so did my ability to help others.
