About Me…
I am an artist and a healer. I am the jack of all trades and master of none… forever a student of life! I have earned a certificate as a practitioner of Ayurveda from the California College of Ayurveda. I’m licensed massage therapist, reflexologist, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher/pilates instructor, Reiki Master, photographer and mother… in no particular order.
I first started practicing yoga in 2004, when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Yoga changed my life! I had no idea who I was and what I was becoming. I was excited and scared, laughing and crying, but mostly grateful for the practice that brought me back home to myself. That was just beginning! I did my first first 200 hour teacher training with Marni Task in 2007, who has become my best friend, fellow traveler and life saver! I did another 200 hour teacher training with Tami Schneider in 2008, and taught at Cleveland Yoga from 2008-2014, which I still can’t believe and will forever be humbled by. I studied under many teachers for several years while traveling around the world with my soon to be ex-husband and children. I completed Level 1 with Baron Baptiste in 2010, took many workshops with Johnny Kest, Shiva Rae, Sean Corn, Kathryn Budig, Sharon Gannon, David Life and probably more that I don’t remember.
During my first teacher training, I was introduced to Ayurveda and immediately felt drawn to it's ancient healing practices. It wasn't until 2014, after getting into a car accident that I dove deeper into Ayurveda to heal myself. During my studies, I learned how to manage my symptoms with the support of Ayurveda, coming off all medications. I am dedicated to supporting others on their journeys into healing themselves naturally. I continue to teach yoga to connect to Nature and animals at Feels Like Home Farm. I completed my 500 hour pilates training at Club Pilates and my 300 hour yoga teacher training with Awake to My Soul in 2019. I do private yoga and pilates along with Ayurveda and Reiki sessions at my Sacred Space in Chagrin Falls. I enjoy being creative with my photography shoots, spending time with my two children Ayla and Cole, and getting into trouble with my partner Shaun Sterling. I love music, nature and creating Sacred Spaces. I walk gently, breathe deeply, and smile often.
Candy is warm and simply lovely to work with.
"I met with Candy recently for an Ayurveda consultation. She was extremely knowledgeable about the doshas and helping me understand my own Ayurvedic profile and imbalances. She provided practical advice to help me attain more balance and is an absolute fountain of knowledge. In addition, Candy is warm and simply lovely to work with. I highly recommend her for all things Ayurveda!"
