I've been gathering people around the elements for most of my adult life. Yoga found me in 1994 and sent me to India three years later, where I found a big piece of myself. I've been teaching movement, breath, and presence ever since.

For the people who know my work through cold, it may come as a surprise that I was a firekeeper first! I’ve been a xxx since a teenager. But cold has a special place in my heart.

I am a certified Wim Hof facilitator, and I lead community cold plunges at Fort Worden. Even cold water is better with company. These days, I'm in the Salish Sea multiple times a week, pulling whoever will follow me in. I love bringing people together in health and wellness.

Movement is medicine. Breath is life. In cold, I trust. And the fire — that I love to keep.

Seaside Sauna is the next chapter in my journey with the elements — an open-air sanctuary for the people of Port Townsend who want to live well.

The fire is on, and the elements are here. Come sweat, soften, and feel alive in this wild nature we call home.
