Welcome

I'm so happy that you are here!

Awareness is one on my favorite words. Awareness inspires motivation and taking action. And you are here! You showed up to the arena of your life, to explore and play to win.

Awareness Academy was born to help you learn to thrive by gaining insight into your life through a series of online courses. What does that mean? Well, I’ve crafted content from hurdles I’ve endured. For example, I had test anxiety and I’ve formulated a course to help you succeed at taking tests and being a student of life. It’s a bit of a memoir weaved into courses with personal stories, specific lessons along with videos, tutorials, worksheets, practices and many cool surprises.

The Virtual Yoga Studio at Awareness Academy is open for enrollment! Currently the Winter Series begins February 15th. You are invited to join me to practice LIVE or practice the classes in the library of replays. More information under "Current Courses" below. See you on the mat! 

At the Academy, awareness is a continual pursuit through learning, practicing and thriving.  

"Awareness allows us to get outside of our mind and observe it in action." - Dan Brule

I’m a doctor of physical therapy, yoga guide, health stylist, and writer. I combine my specialized services to educate and offer my knowledge and experience. Health to me is healing. It’s the core of the word. And healing is a continual journey, to live your best life. I offer a fresh approach to defining what health means to you to navigate your wellness path here at Awareness Academy. One of my favorite poets and quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson is “The first wealth is health.” I 100% agree! Did you know the global wellness market is now valued at 4.75 TRILLION? Seriously, we are all a part of this planetary health movement! It is our wealth! That’s where my heart is and I also love writing health related articles, publications and spotlight interviews with acclaimed professional athletes and inspirational humans. I assist the sports medical team at World Surf League contests as well as other action sports events. I’m also an instructor at MiraCosta College in the kinesiology department for various courses as well as for the 200- hour and 300- Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher Training programs.
