I am currently I certified Yoga Instructor both for public and private sessions, Reiki Practitioner, single dad, and LA Photo Party sales extraordinaire. I have also taken countless hours of continuing educations and trainings on meditation, mobility, breath work, cold exposure, hearth math, and much more.
