1985 —

Born in Iskenderun, Turkey on April 10th

With magical gifts and abilities to see the truth despite my chronic asthma. Sun in Aries, moon in Capricorn and rising in Virgo - cosmically connected to source and living in this human body to re-write my karma, patterns, and deeply engrained belief systems.

1985 - 1991 —

Spent my young years in the emergency room

Roughly 3x a week fighting for my life with an oxygen tank. Asthma took me to the corners of darkness as a little girl.

1991 - 2000 —

Moved to London, UK WITH MY FAMILY and seeked asylum

Learned English, got bullied, lived as a refugee. My asthma was now under control. This is the decade I started becoming very attuned to Spirit and the force of consciousness. You could say I was experiencing the essence of yoga without “doing” the yoga.

2000 —

WE WERE Granted indefinite leave in the UK, no longer an asylum seeker

After 9 years of not traveling, my family and I finally got our passports back and spent the Millennium in Berlin with my Aunt. This was the year I questioned everything about life and started plotting my plan to escape.

2000 - 2005 —

BECAME A total rebel

Finished secondary school, went to college, then got accepted into Greenwich University - to study a program that included a year abroad. This was my ticket out. Uni shape-shifted me to embody bravery for my upcoming solo journey.

2005 —

LEARNED THE WORD COURAGE AND TOOK IT OUT FOR A SPIN

Moved to Los Angeles. Found my roommate on roommates.com and got a full time job. All I had was 2 suitcases, a few hundred pounds to my name and a big dream.

2005-2010 —

got married, worked for pennies

Dabbled with yoga, felt completely unfulfilled in my corporate job, I was empty. Something needed to shift immensely.

2010 —

moved to portland, oregon in the name of saving my marriage

I was willing to do whatever it took to make this work. Yet no matter how much you are willing, sometimes the universe has a wild journey planned for you. All I had to do was trust.

2011 —

signed up to a yoga teacher training for the fun of it

It changed the trajectory of my life. Started teaching immediately and created the Heal Yourself Method™ from my own personal experience.

2012 —

hit rock bottom

Got a divorce, moved to New York City with $50 in my account with an even BIGGER dream. This is the year everything changed for me and the trajectory of my life. I was ready to rise from the ashes of my own destruction.

2012-2014 —

STARTED TEACHING YOGA FULL TIME, STARTED MY BUSINESS & TO TOP IT OFF, met a turkish babe on tinder.

After saying goodbye to corporate America, I had a blank canvas to create “work” that not only fulfilled me, but created a massive transformation in the lives of the people I served. Fell in love immediately and was truly ready to let life surprise me.

2015 —

started teaching yoga online and creating courses/programs

Thrive Mentorship was born, hit my first 6 figures within 6 months after a huge investment in mentorship. Fell (more) in love with the turkish babe, taught yoga and meditation workshops/retreats all over the world with my Heal Yourself Method.

2015-2020 —

buckled down to create the bones of my business and fully gave myself to becoming a student of entrepreneurship

Learned how to receive money with ease thanks to the internet, and how to create wealth from an embodied place. Healed my money story from generational wounds of survival and invested in my business immensely. Pulling up my own chair to get in rooms with people who were were doing what I wanted to do was not a luxury for me, but a necessity for my vision and mission.

2020 —

pandemic hit

Restructured my business model and my business thrived. Held my students to their highest capacity in a way I have never done before. My Sadhana (self practice) was the catalyst of moving through this historical moment of time with ease and patience. This is the year I fell more in love with my life, my mission and my dedication to teaching. In June, left NYC for lake life with the turkish babe and our 3 y/o Havanese babygirl, Luna.

2021 —

got engaged to the tukish babe I met on tinder

Gah…still in shock! Living my most awakened and joyful life on the lake just outside of NYC doing “work” that fulfills me to my core and brings transformation for my students and clients to fully heal themselves in both their business and their beingness.

2022 — 2023

FOUND MYSELF IN THE DEPTHS OF DARKNESS, burned everything down & began again

I restructured the bones of my business and got really clear on what sparked the joy in the offers I created. I launched masterclasses, programs, experiences and a mastermind and focused on slow, smooth sailing instead of the frantic energy of rushing my nervous system had on default. I tapped into a creative zone like I’ve never experienced before. After 11 years of teaching, The Virtual Studio finally came to life with my own App on the way! I am alive, turned on and no longer just surviving, I am thriving.

2023 — present

The virtual studio opens as the clock strikes jan 1st!

This had been years in the making, and finally the virtual studio is live. I wanted to create a hub for healing where you can show up, do the work from 5 mins to 90mins and remind yourself of your power. I’m continuing to focus on my multi passionate desire to do all the things but particularly helping those who are seeking health, wealth and a big desire to go bigger, bolder and braver this year. As a guide of yoga & meditation as well as a force in creating self wealth through what you do best as a business owner, I am here to take you to higher realms of possibility. That is my goal for all of my student & clients this year.
