It all begins with an idea. An idea you did not even know you have. I got to this very point in time in my life from listening to my inner impulses. In 2020, just before the pandemic I spontaneously decided to take a 200hr yoga teacher training. It was through that training that I returned to writing poetry. I started writing daily which led me to an epiphany, a memory of writing poetry as a child and young teen. I had journals full of my poetic words and lyrics. I decided to embark on self-publishing, which led me to a woman, Shell Vera, who recommended I start an Instagram poetry page. That community became a safe haven, a support network, encouragement to keep writing. I started to sign my posts with “you amaze me.” at the end.

My yoga teacher training led me to offer yoga classes in which I infused therapeutic techniques and language. Those classes inspired students to approach me about therapy. It was through their interactions that I started to combine therapy and yoga. One event led to another, with a lot of twists and turns; hardships as well as moments of complete awe and gratitude. I continually took what others mirrored to me and also reflected inward. Together, through connection, awareness, presence, authenticity, vulnerability and humanness YOU AMAZE ME was born.

Please know - whatever it is, your story can make all the difference.
