Summary
I work in community-based wellness and have spent more than 13 years in holistic health. I founded P3 Holistic Wellness Inc. to make yoga, mindfulness, and supportive wellness services more accessible to women and underserved communities. My background includes Hatha and Kundalini yoga, sound healing, Reiki, and trauma-aware practices. Much of my work focuses on building trust, consistency, and programs people actually stay with.
