I am a San Diego native! I was born and raised here, and I’ve spent my whole career working with community around San Diego. I have worked in the health and wellness industry for 20 years. As a Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, and Sound Bath Practitioner I have seen the importance of alternative medicine to care for our mind, body and spirit. I have also worked in numerous hospitals throughout San Diego as a Respiratory Therapist, and I have seen the life saving effects of modern medicine FIRSTHAND. My goal through all the work I do is to find a balance and harmony in both Western and Eastern modalities. Both are valuable. I love bringing the community together through sound bath events. It is beautiful to see how this healing modality can change people. I was made to help others, and I’d love to help you heal through sound.

Our mission is to promote wellness, build community, and increase acceptance through the practice of yoga, meditation, and sound healing. we make yoga and sound healing accessible to all by bringing the wellness retreat to you. our services enhance celebrations of each other and all your special moments while helping each client progress on their own healing journey than where they started. all are welcomed. we can’t wait to work with you!

i am not your typical yogi. i grew up in los angeles and moved to san diego in 2009, where i met shannon. i have been fortunate to see her passion for yoga from the time we met and all through our marriage. i am a beginner, but she is the best teacher around. i have worked in corporate jobs for the majority of my adult life at some of the largest companies in the country. a few years ago, i found myself struggling to find peace and direction in life. we decided to take a quick weekend getaway to joshua tree, where we thought to try a sound bath. i am forever grateful for that experience. it awoke something in me that i immediately knew i had been missing. i felt at peace. i was able to meditate and process decisions. it has led me to more clarity, happiness, and understanding of myself than ever before.

i love being a part of zen diego wellness. my goal is to welcome and help everyone feel at ease, so they can focus on their sound experience alongside shannon and our wonderful community of collaborators. i love meeting new people and learning about them. i believe that building this community is one of the most important things we can do right now. we are all at different places in our healing journeys. while i may not see you at every event, i’m so happy you have chosen to treat your loved ones and yourself with the gift of zen for whatever event you’re celebrating!

Winston is our unofficial mascot. he is the heart & soul of this business. shannon’s little adventure buddy, he’s always ready to go on hikes or jump on a paddleboard for a peaceful paddle through the bay. his favorite is when he gets to hop on a yoga mat and interrupt any and every yoga pose possible or lie down for a quick nap. he peaks his head in when shannon plays her bowls and finds a comfortable spot to curl up and listen to the sounds she plays. he works hard to keep morale high, and he’s paid well in treats and cuddles.
