I want to tell you something I wish someone had told me when I was teaching 15 to 20 classes a week, running on caffeine and passion, and still barely making ends meet.
Because I know there are yoga teachers in this community right now living that exact reality. Schedule maxed out. Body exhausted. Students who love you. And a bank account that doesn't reflect any of it.
I was you.
$30 an hour before taxes. Classes packed wall to wall. I was good at what I did — genuinely good — and I was still trading every ounce of my energy for a number someone else decided I deserved. There was no ceiling to work toward. No leverage. Just more classes, more hours, more output for the same return.
At some point I had to get honest with myself: this wasn't sustainable. And more than that — I knew I was capable of creating something bigger. Something that could reach more people, go deeper, and actually reflect the level of education, training, and mentorship I had invested in myself over the years.
So I stopped asking for permission to be compensated for what I was actually worth and started building containers where I got to decide that.
First came the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Then the international retreats — students following me to Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua. Then sold-out workshops and events that I created, priced, and filled on my own terms.
And then I added sound healing.
And I want to be really clear about something here — because the wellness space is flooded right now with people picking up a singing bowl and calling themselves a sound healer.
I got trained. Properly trained. I learned the science behind why sound works on the nervous system. I studied technique, sequencing, the art of reading a room and holding space for a full professional sound experience. I understood what I was doing and why it worked — and that made all the difference.
In a sea of yoga teachers at capacity, competing for the same studio slots and subbing gigs, adding sound healing as a legitimate, educated modality set me completely apart.
It opened doors I didn't even know existed.
It became its own school. The TEW School of Sound Healing. A full 50-hour practitioner training program for wellness professionals who want what I found — a way to deepen their work, expand their offerings, and stop being just another name on a group fitness schedule.
And now? I run a business where my worth isn't decided by a studio rate sheet. Where I get to decide what my knowledge, my experience, and my ability to create real transformation is valued at. Where I pour everything into my students and my community — and it comes back.
It wasn't easy to get here. I won't pretend it was. It took grit, investment, and betting on myself before I had any proof it would work.
But it started with a single decision: I was done letting someone else put a number on what I was worth.
If you're a yoga teacher reading this and something in you just went quiet — that recognition, that exhale of yes, this is me — I want to talk to you.
You don't have to keep running yourself into the ground to do meaningful work. You don't have to choose between impact and income. And you don't have to figure out the next step alone.
DM me the word WORTH and let's talk about what's actually possible for you.
