This family-owned business was a lifetime in the making. Ever since I was little, I remember going on family camping trips where we would go hiking, biking and kayaking surrounded by nature. These outdoor activities filled me with feelings of serenity that I could never forget. I felt a strong connection with the natural world that gave me a sense of ease belonging in the universe. As I got older, I was more easily able to access these emotions through activities such as meditation and yoga.

Having practiced yoga for a few years and becoming a certified instructor, I became in tune with the deeper layers of my practice. Yoga is often very internal for me; it allows me to sit and connect with myself. It is an opportunity to asses how you and your body are doing, and reflect on the present moment. I use yoga postures and practices to tap into my mental and emotional wellbeing. With a variety of yoga poses, I can practice everything from a gentle flow to a strengthening challenge. Many of these yoga postures help support joints, ligaments and tendons to prevent them from weakening.

In addition to my yoga practice, I also try to workout regularly to keep my muscles strong and active. Without yoga to work on alignment and protect my joints, I wouldn’t be able to workout the way that I do.

Luckily, my boyfriend has a lot of experience with workouts and muscle performance. He has provided myself, as well as our friends and family, with personalized workout plans that are specific to their goals, needs and daily life. This includes resistance training, cardio workouts, weightlifting and more. 

I also grew up in a household where, to this day, my brother and I are vegetarian, our mom is pescatarian, and our dad is vegan. This plant-based lifestyle exposed me to a variety of dietary styles and benefits. My boyfriend also introduced me to counting macros, making sure we eat the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats. This is very helpful for someone like myself who struggles with appetite loss to record just how much of these nutrients your body needs you to intake.

Holistic Health Studio brings all the various types of wellness I have seen and experienced in my life into one place. I am very passionate about health and wellness, and this business allows me to share my passion with others and assist them with their own wellbeing.
