Get to know me
In 2018, my beautiful daughter Dakota, whose wisdom and presence continue to resonate within me, departed from this world. Dakota's passing left a profound emptiness in my heart, yet her enduring spirit inspires me every day.
Dakota and I embarked on our teacher training journey together, a shared pursuit that was as much about personal growth as it was about professional development. Though she is no longer physically present, I carry her with me as I fulfill our shared dream and more. In her absence, I've completed our teacher training, stepping into the role we both envisioned.
Now, I teach both online and in person, sharing the knowledge and passion we once cultivated together. It's bittersweet, moving forward without her by my side, yet I feel Dakota's presence guiding me, encouraging me to embrace this new chapter with strength and resilience.
She believed in the interconnectedness of all beings, reminding me that our energies transcend physical boundaries. And as I stand before my students, I often feel her energy intertwined with mine, a testament to the enduring bond we share. Though Dakota's physical presence may be gone, her essence lives on, woven into the fabric of my teachings and the connections I forge with each person I encounter.
