Yoga, meditation and an ayurvedic lifestyle helped me recover and thrive after surviving trauma, grief and loss. In an interview, I will share how I used my skills and developed new ones through losing my mom to cancer and my second husband to suicide. I offer easy to access tips and practices that help calm the mind and relieve stress, and get the body into a healing state. My coaching practice and yoga teaching allow me to spread my message of recovery and resilience, no matter what happens to you, it is possible to live a healthy and joyful life. My book will be coming out next year and I will be speaking and writing to continue to spread my message, educating people about stress relief, trauma recovery and how to overcome challenging times with health practices developed thousands of years ago, and being proven effective by current medical science.
