Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from witnessing transformation—students and clients reclaiming health, balance, and purpose through yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and bodywork. Ancient healing wisdom and the courage of my community remind me daily that entrepreneurship can create real change, and that guiding people to reconnect with themselves is my greatest motivation.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by purpose, practice, and community. Seeing students and clients transform through yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and bodywork reminds me why I do this work. Daily self-care, mindful movement, and meditation keep me grounded, while the courage and dedication of those I serve inspire me to keep expanding access to healing and wellness for individuals and the broader community.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would expand access to holistic wellness through scholarships, sliding-scale classes, community workshops, and partnerships, offering yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and bodywork to help more people reconnect with their health, reclaim their vitality, and experience lasting transformation.
