My company, Food Fitness Yoga, was born out of my desire to create a more balanced life. Years ago, I lost my mother after a long battle with cancer. While caring for her, I made a decision to leave a corporate career after 18 years of service. This was a significant turning point in my life. After her passing I struggled with many difficult emotions.  Depleted on all levels of health with a deep desire to heal and feel better, I enrolled in a 9-month yoga teacher training program. This program was the first in a series of self-discoveries and what led me to serve in health and wellness.  My desire to improve my own emotional, and physical health became a heightened point of focus.
