My life changed when I read and started practicing from Baron Baptiste’s book “Journey Into Power.” The first transformation was the realization that I could stop searching and trying to become something. I already had what I needed within myself. Through my journey I have realized that by getting myself out of the way I can actually become the best version of myself. In standing for other people I can create space for something bigger within myself and everyone that I encounter. Being of service to others is the most powerful way to be present. In taking action in everything that I do and holding myself accountable I can keep the train moving forward. Listening to the higher being in myself and others creates a transformative space with endless possibility. This is why I... Read the profile >>

A San Antonio native, I never could seem to leave my roots for long. I went to college here and soon after found myself a nine to five, considering that was the expectation. I met wonderful people and learned a great deal, but my soul was not satisfied. I took a huge risk in 2006 and left my well-paying, secure corporate job and high-heels in order to… well, sell stretchy yoga pants.
