How I got here

I longed for peace for much of my life, but it always felt just out of reach—something others seemed to have, but not me.

I struggled with anxiety, my moods were high and low, and I had issues with addiction.

Later, I learned that my experiences were deeply connected to childhood trauma—an awareness that finally helped me make sense of it all, go inward and heal on a deeper level.

After 15 years in sales and marketing, I knew it was time for a big change. I left my job, packed my bags, and travelled to British Columbia for a six-month in-residence meditation teacher training.

When my training was completed, I fully immersed myself in a new way of life. Living at the center alongside other meditation teachers, I deepened my practice while traveling to teach meditation courses. 

After two years, I knew I was ready to carve my own path, and I developed my own SimplyPresent™ mindfulness program rooted in my personal experiences and everything I had learned along the way.

My approach is practical and relatable, and it has been ever-evolving for all these years—because mindfulness isn’t a rigid practice but a way of being in the now.
