Founder of Soulful Flow Yoga & Soulful Flow Yoga School

Movement and music have always been intertwined in my life. Growing up in Louisiana, my home was filled with hip-hop, R&B, Zydeco, and blues. My parents' CD and tape collection introduced me to Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Toni Braxton, and Bob Marley, while I curated my own soundtrack with a Walkman and radio recordings.

As a competitive cheerleader, soccer player, and show choir performer, movement was my second language (music was first), but I craved something deeper. Yogalates in Baton Rouge introduced me to breath, stillness, and savasana, a moment of clarity and connection that changed everything. I could hear God on the mat.

Seeking to deepen my practice, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I discovered Black Swan Yoga, a donation-based studio that reinforced my belief that yoga should be accessible to everyone. But something was missing. The movement and mindfulness were there, but the music and representation were not.

So I created my own experience, flowing at home to my vinyls on my record player, allowing my body to move freely, letting my soul flow. That’s when Soulful Flow Yoga was born, a practice where movement meets music and mindfulness.

At Yoga Yoga in Austin, under Kimberly Wharton, I immersed myself in yoga philosophy, energetics, and spiritual practices. As I continued my journey as a student, the lack of representation in wellness spaces became increasingly evident. I wanted to see someone who looked like me and hear music that resonated and touched my soul. What if I could teach? What if I could provide a landing pad that could serve as an invitation into movement, meditation, and healing? It was always a thought, but nothing that I’d consider in that season of life.

After college, I moved to Dallas, but I struggled to find a yoga studio that truly resonated with me. My practice was nonexistent, and I felt disconnected from my body and self. I longed for something more intentional and grounding for my life, but I didn’t realize that yoga was the missing piece. After a breakup, I sought a fresh start and moved to Seattle, where I found deep healing and community at Sangha Yoga in Queen Anne. I immersed myself in the studio, and after a year of healing and self-discovery, I did my first 200-hour yoga training.

During my fourth corporate layoff in marketing and tech (drones, bitcoin, nonprofits, you name it, I was a startup chaser), I was in my second 200 hr yoga teacher training at Ritual House and made a defining choice. I wasn’t going back to corporate life. That was six years ago.

Today, I am a wellness entrepreneur, founder of Soulful Flow Yoga & Soulful Flow Yoga School, a lululemon Resident Instructor, mindfulness in marketing business strategist, and brand strategy coach, creating space for healing, movement, music, and mindfulness.
