Healthy for me is about being well nourished in all respects. It’s sweaty flow and subtle body, strong coffee and silent bliss—singing my unique song and lending my voice to the choir, loving language, laughing loudly, learning lots, and letting go.
Yoga teacher. Healthy is catching my own rhythm. Getting good, consistent rest—with space to relax and receive—is when well-being seems easiest. Along with fresh, organic, made-with-love food, this brings me even closer to center. Giving energy to people and projects I love nourishes a part of me that can only be fed by connecting. Eat, sleep, work, love.
Some of life’s experiences have shattered me into pieces, but I’ve put myself back together in a way that reflects who I am today. Healthy is the strength to bust open areas of my life that are rooted in fear, loving my shadow as much as my light! To be myself is to be whole, and that’s healthy.

Healthy is voraciously evolving and expanding in this astounding lifetime that’s been given. Evolving with kindness, joy, and disciplined work. My muses? Every week I do YogaHop (pop music-soundtracked, strong yoga classes), so my muscles can thunder, my mind can persevere through all turbulences, and my spirit can shine like sunlight in a kaleidoscope of achievements that give my life velocity.
Healthy living is about choosing well, from the food I eat to the people I love. Everyone’s recipe for being healthy is unique. My recipe is: laughter, equal amounts of kale and pizza, a generous serving of yoga, dogs, plays, listening to Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers, watching movies with my husband, reading inspiring stories, and a bit of good tequila.
Healthy living means balance. Filling your life with things that make you want to jump up and down and say, “Yes!” Long hikes with your dog, margaritas with your girlfriends, hitting up the farmers’ market every Sunday, practicing sweaty hip hop yoga, or meditating on a mountaintop. Being radiantly happy is healthy in my book. Say yes to whatever makes you come alive.
