About me

Enthusiastic and dedicated Yoga Teacher and Massage Therapist with a fervent passion for surfing and a holistic approach to health and movement. Since 2018, I have embraced a nomadic lifestyle centered around the ocean, weaving together yoga, bodywork, sound healing, and wellness practices to support both surfers and non-surfers on their physical and spiritual journeys.

With a deep understanding of the surfer’s body and mindset, I tailor yoga sessions and therapeutic massages to enhance mobility, recovery, and performance. My practice also incorporates the healing power of sound and the foundational principles of mindful nutrition to support overall vitality. I have successfully organized wellness retreats and managed surfcamps, demonstrating strong leadership, adaptability, and the ability to create transformative experiences in diverse settings.
