"My life’s work has been lived at the intersection of stillness and movement. I’ve spent the last fifteen years under the wing of my Sifu, learning that true power isn't about force—it’s about composure.
Since 2008, I’ve been teaching combat yoga and meditative strength training, blending that lineage with the high-performance standards of UHP. After years of teaching globally, I’ve brought those protocols back to Philadelphia, where I actively host sessions and residencies today.
Having navigated the city’s hospitality and nightlife for over twenty years, I now bridge the gap between high-end environments and internal discipline. My current practice blends performance science with my work as a Mental Health First Responder. Whether you’re managing a room or your own nervous system, the most valuable asset you can own is your center."

My Journey
My Purpose
From East coast inner city life to traveling around the world, I was raised surrounded by vibrant family energy. Inspired by my relatives' resilience, I embarked on a path of self-discovery and service.
From working as the doorman at iconic Philly clubs to teaching yoga in Maui and leading wellness retreats globally, my journey has been a tapestry of growth, connection, and empowerment.
I've had the privilege of sharing my practices with diverse communities, from Haitian refugees camps in the Dominican Republic to corporate teams in NYC.
Now, back in Philly, I'm building my brand to continue spreading growth, healing, and connection.​
