A California native, I've lived in Portland, OR since 2007 and it's the place I call home. I spend my professional time combining my two passions of counseling & teaching yoga. I own my own business, The Art of Balance, and am part of a professional counseling group, Hayes Abrams. I also make and sell delicious raw food for Eatin' Alive at local farmers markets and write about wellness for my blog, The Art of Balance & Connection. I spend the rest of my time enjoying life by practicing yoga, hiking & camping, traveling, hula-hooping, gardening, & cooking delicious plant-based food.
