Forest Bathing

I was born and raised in a small town in Poland, surrounded by forests and farmlands. My childhood was a tapestry of outdoor adventures—summers spent in my grandpa’s gardens picking fruits and vegetables, climbing trees with my friends, swimming in the lakes, hiking mountains, camping, foraging for mushrooms, and rescuing injured birds and stray animals. These experiences deeply rooted my connection with nature. In my twenties, I moved to big cities, and my bond with the natural world waned. However, life brought me to the beautiful Tahoe area, where I am now raising my two teenage children. Over a decade ago, after the loss of my father and a challenging separation, I faced a period of profound struggle. It was during this time that I discovered yoga and found solace in nature. The teachings and practice of yoga and the solitude of hiking were my lifelines. These experiences sparked a deep curiosity about the impact of nature on the human mind, body, and soul. I immersed myself in learning and became a certified Nature Therapy Based Interventionist through Somatic Nature Therapy Institute and a Forest Bathing Guide through Alma Oasis. I am also certified Wilderness First Aid. Additionally, I received yoga teacher trainings from Sivananda Yoga Farm and Alaya Palisades Yoga, and I am a certified kids yoga teacher through KAY.Show More

Wilderness Therapy

I’ve spent most of my life guiding people through mountains, rivers, and personal transformation. What began as a career in outdoor education and ski coaching evolved into a calling: helping others navigate the inner terrain of growth and healing. After two decades of guiding and teaching around the world, I founded ACE CoLab — Adventure. Connect. Evolve — to bring together the best of movement, mindfulness, and coaching. My path weaves through high peaks and deep introspection — from training ski professionals and leading expeditions, to studying integrative health, mind-body medicine, and wellness coaching. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t just happen on the mountain — it happens in how we show up for ourselves every day. Healing is a process of remembering our wholeness, reconnecting with what truly matters, and aligning how we live with who we are becoming.Show More

Deep Tissue Massage

I am an adventure seeker and lover of nature! I Embrace the journey of life and try my best to live in the present moment. I have been teaching Physical Education in Truckee, California for the past 22 years. I believe that in order to live a truly healthy life we have to spend time learning about our physical, spiritual and mental well being. I decided to pursue my yoga certification to bring this to light. I am a also a licensed massage therapist and sound healer. Blending yoga, massage and sound healing is my passion and I love sharing this with my students to help them on their journey. My husband Kurt and I have two boys ages 16 and 14. We spend time skiing, biking, hiking, and exploring together. My passion for fitness and wellness has led me down a path to yoga. I believe we are all connected and the highest we can truly be is when our body, mind, and soul is happy!Show More
