Meryl originally came to the practice in 2008 after moving to California from Colorado, post experience of the loss of a close friend and a complicated snowboarding injury – both of which changed her thoroughly. Her practice and awareness of Yoga as a paradigm expanded during a 12-month stint of living, working, hiking, and surfing in South America. Her teacher training and study of plant/herbal medicines in Peru opened her to a deeper understanding of conscious creation and spirit/nature connection. She is passionate about helping others to heal and shine, the ocean, her dog Drama, and exploring and protecting the world.
She holds a BS in Kinesiology, trained as a Raw and Living Foods Chef, and founded r e ( v î v e ), a sacred events and wellness cooperative. Together she and Laura Love run The Vibrant Life Wellness Cleanse – a life-changing detox program helping people to live in a more healthful and impactful manner.
