About The Outlaw
I help people craft a personal relaxation practice so that they can enjoy the magic of Deep Rest, connect with themselves to find the answers they seek and create a life filled with wisdom and ease.
How did I get here?
It’s a story of pain and grief, leaps of faith and love and healing, like many of you have I imagine.
I picked up my first diary when I was 13 years old and it was love at first “Dear Diary”. Over the next 30 years I’ve practiced many different journaling and self discovery methods, learned from several teachers, strayed from the practice again and again, yet always found my way back. My journaling practice has evolved over many years to now serve me best, yours will too.
I lost my mom and a love at the same time, moved to a different state and got lost, got lost in grief and fear and disconnected from myself. I gained weight, I lost health and became so very tired. Grasping for anything I found Yoga Nidra about 10 years ago and dove deep into it’s healing magic. From there I followed my passion for yoga becoming certified in 3 different yoga modalities.
I can finally say I have crafted my own personal life practice that heals, restores, relaxes and connects me back to myself after all these years.
But you, my friend, won’t have to wait years to cultivate a relaxation practice that soothes and serves. You will be able to find your sweet spot much faster with these tools.
