Straight from the (Disabled & Fabulous) Horse’s Mouth Bio: “I'm an Alaska-grown speaker, disability advocate, wellness educator, minister, artist, certified yoga+meditation instructor & plant-based foods chef currently based in Arizona. I’ve shared my knowledge of holistic health & wellness by traveling to teach my unique events, doing speaking engagements & classes, as well as through this blog and on social media. I am a TBI Ambassador for the Model Systems Knowledge Translation System & serve on the Brain Injury Association of America’s Advisory Council.
I’ve also served as a Goodwill Ambassador to the Republic of the Gambia, West Africa, bringing donations of medical & school supplies to hospitals & schools. That experience has helped to shape my approach to wellness, community, art & sustainability. As a survivor of a traumatic accident in May of 2017, I have an even greater passion for sharing wellness, resiliency, mindfulness & gratitude.”
I've created a fun & unique new class style, Community Hip Hop Yoga, which is a class I've shared from Alaska to Portland and all the way to Arizona, & am in the process of trademarking.

“After looking at the way things are on this earth, here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that’s about it. That’s the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work. It’s God’s gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It’s useless to brood over how long we might live.”
