Learning about the world through experience has been my passion since 2014. I've traveled to over 25 countries solo, including Sri Lanka, Thailand, Peru, Colombia, Spain, Portugal, and Haiti. Now I live in Baja, Mexico where I teach yoga and create life changing experiences for others.
I studied I/O Psychology in New Jersey, yoga in Philly, and then became a student of the world. My personal values are integrity, autonomy, empowerment, and alignment.
Here's to experiencing this beautiful world together!
Nourish. Reset. Align.
A retreat designed for busy people wanting to be cared for, nourished, and deeply renewed. With special offerings that speak to all our senses, you'll leave this Baja experience rested, cared for, and inspired.

“How are you?”
Busy? Tired? Confused? Stressed? Sore?
We all need a break. We all deserve the space and time to nourish ourselves and push the reset button on our nervous systems. We need the container that supports relaxing and to be cared for.
Making the time to nourish ourselves can feel challenging enough, let alone taking care of yourself when you finally get that space. Join me in Baja and let us handle the rest. Nourishing meals served to you. Healthy juices and snacks. Spa services and massage. Movement and yoga. Basking poolside in the sun or lounging in the hot tub with a margarita. Whatever nourishment looks like for you, we can create it here.
If you've caught yourself identifying as busy, overwhelmed, dissatisfied, stressed, or just generally needing to be cared for and nourished, then request the time off and join me in Baja, Mexico. You deserve this. You need this.
You deserve to be nourished.Topia is a place of luxury and comfort, in a location exotic enough to feel like an adventure. On the surface, it's an epic vacation. Underneath, it's a complete reset on your nervous system so we can realign our lives. Join me at Topia Boutique Retreat in El Pescadero, Baja California Sur, Mexico (where I live!) to nourish all your senses, reset, and remember who you are. You'll leave this retreat feeling nourished, reinvigorated, and inspired.
... and if you're just in it for the beaches, tacos, or yoga, this retreat is here for you, too.
Welcome to Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, the ultimate backdrop for a truly tranquil wellness retreat by the ocean. We are very pleased to have you here with us for a rejuvenating and nourishing experience. Over the next few days, partake in a variety of activities to help you recharge your mind, body, and soul. As this wellness retreat unfolds, embrace experiences that involve movement, health, restoration, and the exploration of our natural surroundings. Upon arriving at the airport in Los Cabos, catch your transfer to the restful Topia Boutique Retreat. Once you’re all settled in, we'll enjoy a restorative yoga and deep stretch session to help us bounce back from our travels. Then, we'll get together and enjoy our first dinner together — celebrate the start of this transformative journey!
Rise and shine. Today, we start the day with a morning yoga session — connect the mind and body through breathing and gentle movement. After a refueling brunch, partake in the first of our workshops (“how to care for myself”) and discover ways to enable self-care and mental positivity. Afterwards, enjoy some free time for massages, facials, and chilling by the pool. Later in the afternoon, we will have a yin yoga session with singing bowls, followed by a sunset beach walk to unwind. A delicious dinner awaits in the evening, ready to nourish us and bring us together.
Awaken to yet another gorgeous day in paradise, one that will begin with a wonderful Punto Lobos/Sugar Port hike just before brunch. After we've refueled ourselves for the day, enjoy some free time before noon. We will have tarot readings with Jess Chappel of Tarot de Baja to see where you are in life and recognize the changes you are headed towards. In the afternoon, partake in another workshop, this time on “nourishing creativity”. Our evening yoga session will follow. After dinner, share stories and laughs with each other over a relaxing bonfire chat outdoors.
After a restorative yoga session with the group and a delectable brunch, we'll embark on a fantastic culinary excursion. Enjoy a taco tour and a cooking class in the vibrant town of Todos Santos. This is the best way to fully appreciate the cuisine and culture of the region. Enjoy!
It's your final full day of the retreat. Wake up to the smell of the Pacific ocean breeze in your luxurious room. This morning, move your body with a mindful yoga practice before indulging in a leisurely brunch. Then, enjoy moments of pure freedom — snuggle up with a book in the outdoor living room, lounge in the hot tub with a margarita, chill poolside with your fellow companions, watch the glittering ocean and see if you can spot migrating whales in the distance... the day is yours to do as you please! In the late afternoon, we'll engage in our last yoga session as a group before enjoying a wonderful farewell dinner.
It’s the final day of this retreat — we hope you have had a wonderful journey in connecting with your mind, body, and spirit. After one last nourishing meal, it’s time to leave Topia Boutique Retreat behind and depart for the airport. We hope to see you again — travel safe!
