I have been a professional photographer, memory engraver and entrepreneur for over 13 years. The medium of photography has held my love for as long as I can remember, but it transcended beyond my business in 2016 when I decided to merge this passion with my own health and wellness journey, taking on a personal project to document my Yoga & plant-based eating on social media.

In doing so, I discovered an extended community of new friends at many different ages and stages of life. All inspiring and encouraging in their own rights, but what blew me away was the fact that these amazing individuals would share with me how my humble little journey was a source of inspiration for them.

A small step of obedience – capturing my Yoga and food journey – led to the birth of INSPIRE. After the first year, I decided to take another step into the world of self-publishing and created The Inspire Interactive Yoga Journals. This series of e-books was my way of sharing my mind & body experiences in and with different Yoga poses, not just the mechanics behind how to get into them.

Fast forward to 2021, another manifestation of INSPIRE has occurred. For as long as I can remember, I have journaled. And through the many challenges that life has thrown my way, I continue to return to the pages of my writing journals to be a source of solace and safety. Holding space for me to unpack and express my feelings – processing them in a safe space free of judgement… and usually exposing new work for me to continue to expand and grow into the next, greater version of myself.

This edition has been beautifully curated. I have paired images from throughout my career with prompts that I have authored, diving into all that I am constantly learning to help facilitate the personal growth work of others. I am humbled by how this work has come through me and filled with awe at the thought of where INSPIRE will take you!

My sincerest gratitude that you have chosen to take the time to be here. Enjoy!
