creating space for us to be well.
The wellness industry has a diversity problem. An accessibility problem. An ableism problem. And most organizations addressing it are doing so at the surface level — updating their imagery,
Adding a land acknowledgement, running a single workshop — without doing the deeper structural work that creates lasting change.
I have spent over a decade doing that deeper work. As a wellness advocate, Nike Global Trainer, adaptive fitness educator, and someone living with MS, I bring both the professional expertise and the lived experience to help wellness businesses, studios, and organizations move beyond performative inclusion toward equity that is embedded, embodied, and sustainable.
If you are ready to do the real work, I’m ready to partner with you.

consulting + training.
Most wellness businesses want to be more inclusive. Few know where to actually start — or how to make sure the changes they implement go deeper than optics. That’s where I come in.
I work with wellness businesses, brands, yoga studios, and fitness organizations to build genuine cultures of equity. My consulting approach is rooted in community development principles, informed by over a decade of frontline inclusion work, and shaped by my own experience navigating wellness spaces as a Black woman living with a chronic illness. I don’t offer generic frameworks. I offer strategies that are specific to your organization, your community, and the gaps that actually exist in your ecosystem.
What We Can Work On Together
Curriculum development for yoga and wellness teacher trainings that centre accessibility, anti-racism, and inclusion. Organizational diversity and equity strategy. Hiring policies and practices that reflect your stated values. Diversity plans with measurable outcomes and clear accountability. Creating programming and initiatives that are community-informed rather than top-down. Embedding adaptive fitness principles into existing class and program structures.
Who This Is For
Yoga studios and fitness brands ready to move beyond surface-level diversity initiatives. Wellness entrepreneurs building inclusive businesses from the ground up. Organizations that have received feedback about exclusivity or inaccessibility and want to respond with real, structural change.

employee wellness.
Your employees are navigating more than their job descriptions. Stress, burnout, chronic illness, anxiety, and the compounding weight of systemic inequity are showing up in your workplace whether you name them or not. The question is whether your wellness programming is actually built to meet the full range of people on your team — or just the ones who already have the most access to wellbeing.
I design and deliver customized workplace wellness programs that reflect the real diversity of your workforce. That means programming that is accessible to employees managing chronic conditions, disability, and mental health challenges — not just those who can show up to a lunchtime yoga class and call it wellness.
My approach integrates mindfulness, adaptive movement, breathwork, and evidence-based stress reduction techniques into programming that is practical, inclusive, and designed to create lasting impact rather than a one-time feel-good moment.
What’s Included
Custom workplace wellness program design. Accessible yoga, meditation, and mindfulness sessions — in-person or virtual. Lunch and learn sessions on stress, burnout, chronic illness in the workplace, and building sustainable wellbeing habits. Team workshops on psychological safety, belonging, and collective wellbeing. Ongoing programming partnerships and wellness retainers.
Why It Matters
Research consistently shows that workplace wellness programs reduce medical costs, lower absenteeism, and improve retention and productivity. But beyond the numbers — employees who feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for show up differently. Investing in inclusive wellness is investing in the full humanity of your team.
Anti-Ableism in Wellness — The Course
Coming Soon — Waitlist Open
The wellness industry talks a lot about inclusion. It talks significantly less about ableism — the systemic ways in which wellness spaces, programming, language, and culture exclude, marginalize, and harm people with disabilities and chronic conditions. This course changes that.
Anti-Ableism in Wellness is a professional development course for yoga teachers, fitness instructors, wellness practitioners, and brand leaders who are ready to move beyond surface-level accessibility and build practices and spaces that are genuinely, structurally inclusive.
Rooted in disability justice principles, adaptive fitness expertise, and my own lived experience as a wellness professional with MS, this course gives you the language, frameworks, and practical tools to examine and dismantle ableism in your work — and to build something better in its place.
This Course Is For You If…
You are a wellness professional who wants to serve chronically ill and disabled clients well but aren’t sure where to start. You have received feedback that your space or programming isn’t accessible and want to respond with more than modifications. You are building or growing a wellness business and want equity embedded from the beginning, not retrofitted later. You believe that accessibility is a justice issue, not a logistics problem.
