The more personal side of Me

I am from the coast of Connecticut. I have naturally always been drawn towards summer and warmth, but over the years I have become more and more appreciative of the four seasons. Learning to flow with the seasons and not dread them has taught me that change and transitions are a necessary part of finding balance and gratitude in life. In high school I signed a modeling contract and modeled all throughout college in New York City. I loved it. My modeling career taught me how to stay true to myself and my roots during moments of self doubt. After graduating college and acknowledging and accepting that changes were on the horizon, I gravitated towards teaching and taught Kindergarten for two years. My wise and cheerful little students taught me so much. They reminded me to keep my playful spirit alive and to care less about what others thought of me. Spending time with them, I learned to really let go, have fun and stay present. Kindergarteners live in the moment!! In the organized chaos of a kindergarten classroom you learn to let a lot of things just roll off your back. Though I love being around children and teaching, I have always felt a strong pull towards what I enjoy most: health, fitness, and wellness. So, why not combine my passion for teaching, helping and inspiring others? Living an active lifestyle and taking care of my body and mind has always been who I am at my core. Being active is when I am in my element and I feel most like me. Dancing and somersaulting into this season of my life just feels right. I think we all could use a bit more balance and joy in our lives. Throughout the phases of my life, what I assumed were my flaws and weaknesses actually became my biggest strengths. They taught me to trust the process. It always gets better, even when there are times you think it never will. I know that I owe it to myself to spend more years loving, laughing, and taking care of my body and mind. Being human is innately imperfect, that is why I create my own sunshine. Allow me to help you do the same.
