Howdy! I’m the daughter half of this mother-daughter team. From me, you can expect to see a lot of research and quips about mental health advocacy and understanding how the brain works biologically.

I’m a psychology major and history minor, a writer, and the founder of Keep In Mind Advocacy—a mental health advocacy project I started as a teenager when I realized most resources were written for parents, not for the people actually living it. I have a certificate in Post-Secondary Student Mental Health Research Training from CAMH and University of Toronto, as well as the Be There certification.

I’ve always had a fire for justice and change, but it really sparked when I transitioned from being completely homeschooled to fully aligned in an online high school setting in Grade 10. That shift opened my eyes to how broken the system is for students who are neurodivergent, grieving, anxious, traumatized, overstimulated—or just trying to survive. There were no real supports. Just silence, stigma, and unrealistic expectations.

Most of what I know doesn’t come from textbooks (though I read those too). It comes from lived experience:

Navigating ADHD.

Learning to manage anxiety and executive dysfunction.

Being the “smart” kid who was constantly overwhelmed.

On Yoga Meets The Mind, I bring the research and real talk—paired with my mom’s years of experience in yoga, meditation, and working with children and families. Together, we explore how breath, movement, mindfulness, and advocacy can all work together to support healing.
