I’ve spent my life bridging two worlds - the high-stakes pace of corporate America and the grounded, soulful discipline of Yoga. What I’ve learned is simple and inconveniently true:

​

Transformation doesn’t happen when you escape the world.
It happens when you take responsibility for how you show up in it.

​

Before founding Elevation Central, a private wellness retreat and integration center just outside Nashville, I spent over a decade in the corporate sector as a General Manager, Senior Project Manager, Network Operations Manager and in Satellite Engineering for multi-million-dollar companies. I learned how to lead teams, navigate complexity, and perform under pressure. I also learned this the hard way: success without self-awareness leads to burnout, disconnection, and a life that looks impressive - but doesn’t feel aligned.

​

Yoga changed that.
It brought me back into relationship with myself.

​

For over 30 years, Yoga has been my primary study and lived practice. For 15 of those years, I owned and operated Yoga Blend, a thriving Los Angeles studio where I taught thousands of students and trained hundreds of teachers. It became a living laboratory for conscious leadership - a place where ancient wisdom met modern life, where rigor and compassion coexisted, and where community was built through honesty, humor, and humanity.

​

In 2020, life initiated a reset. I returned to my Tennessee roots and built something new: Elevation Central - a space devoted to integration, leadership, and embodied living. It was here that the Yoga of Responsibility™ emerged - not as a concept, but as a lived framework for turning awareness into aligned action.

​

Today, I work as a Personal Responsibility & Leadership Coach, Speaker, Educator, and Living Artist - creating my art through how I listen, lead, and respond to each moment. I guide yoga teachers, conscious leaders, creatives, and everyday humans who are ready to stop outsourcing their power and start living from the inside out.

​

My work blends Yoga Philosophy & Therapeutics, Positive Psychology, the Chakra System, Leadership Training, Conscious Entrepreneurship, and straight talk - helping people integrate what they know, embody what they believe, and lead with clarity and integrity.

​

My mission is simple:

• To help you live, lead, and create from truth and joy

• To remind you that attention is destiny

• And to prove that when you take responsibility for your energy, your choices, and your life - everybody wins
