I first came to Yoga 16 years ago after a bad break up, and the understanding that I needed to make some changes in my Life.

​

As a fitness aficionada, Yoga seemed like the next good thing to try… My first class swept me off my feet. It was the beginning of a wonderful journey that I am still walking in awe, every day. Yoga has transformed my life, helping me to be a better, more balanced, compassionate person.It brought me a whole different awareness. From trying to control my Body to “look” good, I slowly shifted to understanding and listening to it to “feel” good.

It was not long before I certified as a Yoga teacher and opened Biotonic Brickell, a studio of Power Plate Training & Yoga, in the heart of Miami. The studio closed after 8 great years of operation, as I chose a more “one-on-one” approach, to better serve and fit people’s needs physically, emotionally and spiritually, using Yoga as the beautiful healing tool that it really is.

I am a perpetual student, and I've learned through trials, experiences and injuries. I have explored many different paths of Yoga, from Kundalini to Vinyasa, restorative, chanting, meditation, energy medicine. Reiki practitioner, I am also certified in Life Coaching.

Eventually, I was introduced to the world of Somatics, through my chiropractor Dr Paul Canali, DC. I started exploring and getting a broader vision of all the different ways stress and trauma affect the body and mind. It gave me the confirmation of what I had always felt and known and applied intuitively, now backed up by sciences and the medical field.

After intensive studying and researching of the autonomic nervous system, I completed a wonderful, insightful training with Dr Arielle Schwartz's in "Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga". Which ultimately led me to the pioneers of the Somatic movement: Hanna Somatic Education by the late Thomas Hanna. Eleanor Criswell Hanna his wife took over his work and teachings when he passed away, and I was blessed to train and learn under her guidance.

I completed the Somatic Yoga Professional Training, feeling strong and confident with those life changing principles in my curriculum, now knowing with absolute certitude the way I want to contribute with my Yoga teachings.​

To me, the practice of Yoga has become so much more than just the physical practice. It is a way of living and being. And it still transforms my Life every day. It helps me cultivate the intrinsic connection between my body, my mind, my emotions and ultimately my Spirit. 

​

I am a fervent believer in a more loving, compassionate, more human World. A world where the focus is more on internal awareness versus external concerns. A world where each of us learns to reconnect with the power within and the wisdom of the Body. A Power that establishes Peace, Love and Harmony in our lives instead of fear, anxiety and struggle.

​​

I believe that it is vital for the betterment of human interconnection that we all have a chance to start the process of healing ourselves. So that in turn we can partake in the healing of each other and truly change the World.  

​

My own journey is my teaching. I understand you and I see you because I have been there. I am like you. Not separate, not different, not better, nor less.

I am Human. We all are.

And together we can heal.

 

 

Among my gurus are my yoga teacher Terri Cooper (305 Yoga Outreach); my sister and personal coach Dr Marie Allain (Acupuncture and homeopathy); Louise Hay with her life changing book "You can heal your Life"; kids blessing me with the gift of innocence. And the biggest teacher of all: Life itself. I consider myself a student of Life. My eyes are constantly wide open to the Magic and the Beauty it brings.
