I am a person who loves and enjoys many things and created Breathe & Be to share those passions with others. Before I discovered some of these spiritual practices and playful ways to connect with God, I was addicted to productivity and burning out. My life had no margin and no sane rhythm. Although I had been a Christ follower for many years, I discovered spiritual disciplines and rhythms about 10 years ago and started implementing them in my life. This changed everything. Now I feel like I have space to breath and although my life feels very full, it is life-giving and not draining. It's my joy and desire to share this path to freedom, balance, and shalom peace with as many as possible.

Here's just some of the things I enjoy so you can get to know me better:

• Gathering people together with purpose
• Sharing Spiritual Direction and deep listening and curiosity with others
• Teaching and doing yoga; integrating body, mind and spirit
• Sharing these practices in our podcast, kids journals, meditation series, and retreats and workshops
• Directing a non-profit and moving in the world of families with disabilities 
• Watercolors and all kinds of paper crafts
• Paddleboarding and swimming
• Walking with my daughter and my dog
• Cooking 
• Reading
• Gardening with my husband
• Having a nice cup of coffee with a good friend
