THE STUDIO

ABOUT THE RIVER

The River is made up of different pathways that help us connect more deeply with ourselves. At its core, it exists to create space for you to follow whatever is calling you—no matter how small, uncertain, or unconventional. To move through life with curiosity and intention, rather than drifting in a current that doesn’t feel like it truly belongs to your Self. We’re not here to coast through life—we are The River itself. Powerful, moving with energy, and ever-evolving.

THE STREAMS (MODALITIES)

Coaching, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and bringing a creative vision to life, all share a common thread—they are ways to connect with ourselves and explore our inner worlds. The River offers variations of these practices as they help us deep dive into conversation with ourselves, guiding us to sit with discomfort, confront limiting beliefs, and create greater self-awareness. Through the mind-body connection, these practices not only bring intellectual awareness, but create real shifts by moving through emotions and energy, guiding us toward living and in ways that feel aligned with our truth and individual freedom.

A BIT ABOUT ME

While studying brand design at FIT in 2018, I began to realize that what truly captivated me wasn’t just the art of creating visuals—it was the process of going beyond the surface. It was the magic of asking deep questions, of connecting the unseen threads, and of seeing things from a perspective that hadn't yet been touched. I’ve always been drawn to the mystery—the spaces where a simple idea catches the wind and unfurls into something bigger.

I’ve always known, and over time realized, we’re not here to be just one thing or follow one path. And with that trust, The River came to life. Not as a rigid plan, but as something fluid—able to grow and change as I do. A space to create and serve, simply for the sake of creation and service.

It’s hard to write a conclusive ‘about me’ when I strongly believe we’re multidimensional beings...But here are a few snippets—I am a pisces sun & moon, virgo rising. I have a deep affinity with art, poetry, and romance. The first thing I wanted to ‘be’ when I was younger was a photographer. Now, I want to be kind, passionate, courageous, expressive, and free. I continually study self-growth and yoga philosophy, and I am currently learning to teach yoga asana. I was certified as a life coach and reiki energy healer. My biggest dream is to host an international wellness/creative/spiritual retreat—which we will be doing very soon. If you’re reading this, I’m really grateful that you’re here, and hope to meet you soon.

If you find yourself curious, I get personal on my Substack — SPIRAL(IN)G.
