Growing up in the Sierra Foothills, music was my first language—and the thread that has guided my path ever since. I began practicing Kundalini Yoga nearly 20 years ago, drawn to the way breath, sound, and movement could shift energy and awaken something ancient within. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong devotion.

At 19, I followed an inner calling to Australia, where I spent over a decade immersed in the subtropical rhythm of life. During that time, I began teaching Kundalini Yoga internationally, leading classes and ceremonies across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. I became known for blending traditional practice with original music and live sound, creating immersive spaces that were both grounding and transcendent.

When my father became ill, I returned home to Nevada City to care for him during his final months. In witnessing his transition, I was deeply moved by the presence of the unseen—the thinning of the veil—and the grace that can exist at the end of life. It was this experience that led me into the healing arts with renewed purpose.

Soon after his passing, I enrolled in intensive massage training, where I studied a powerful fusion of Eastern and Western healing philosophies. This hands-on work added a new layer to my offerings, complementing my background in yoga, sound, and ceremony.

The birth of my son brought everything full circle. I felt that he entered this world through the same portal my father had exited—a sacred cycle that inspired the name Akaal, meaning "undying." It speaks to the continuity of spirit, rhythm, and remembrance that underlies all my work.

Today, I’m honored to offer a sanctuary of sound, movement, and deep healing—rooted in decades of experience and shaped by the music of my life. Thank you for allowing me to hold space for your own return, your own remembering.
