Meet Pepsi
Yoga & Personal Training for Women in the North Hills
Welcome to your Healing Journey
Yes, Pepsi is my real name. My parents named me Pepsi because they imagined I would be bubbly, active, and full of life. Somehow, they knew me pretty well.
For more than 25 years, my work has centered around helping people feel stronger, healthier, more connected, and more at home in their bodies. I’m a college professor and health and wellness educator, and over the years I’ve taught everything from fitness and strength training to yoga, mindfulness, stress management, and human flourishing.
But Inspired Happy Healing is about more than exercise.
I believe wellness can be strong and soft. It can look like lifting weights, slowing down on your yoga mat, learning to regulate your nervous system, laughing during puppy yoga, taking a deep breath, or simply giving yourself permission to rest.
My own journey through perimenopause and the hormonal shifts that come with it has shaped how I work with women even more. I’ve felt the changes in energy, recovery, sleep, and how my body responds to training. Those experiences are why personal training for perimenopausal and menopausal women has become such an important part of what I offer. I know what it’s like when the old routines stop working the same way, and I’m here to help you train in a way that actually supports your body through this season—building strength, protecting bone density, managing stress, and feeling capable again.
My approach is simple: meet people where they are, create a space where they feel welcome, and help them discover what makes them feel good in their own body and life.
And if you come to one of my classes or sessions, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll eventually meet one of my three dogs.
Wellness That Feels Like Real Life
I believe wellness shouldn't feel intimidating, complicated, or like one more thing you aren't doing well enough.Sometimes wellness is a challenging workout. Sometimes it's yoga, meditation, or learning how to calm your nervous system. Sometimes it's laughing during puppy yoga, taking your dog for a walk, spending time outside, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down.My approach brings together movement, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, fitness, yoga, Pilates, and positive wellbeing in ways that are practical, welcoming, and sustainable.My goal isn't perfection. It's helping people create more moments when they feel strong, connected, peaceful, and genuinely happy in their lives.
The Four-Legged Part of My Story
If you know me, you know that animals are a huge part of my life.I'm a dog mom to four dogs, including Shadow, my black Lab and therapy dog, who has become a very special part of my wellness work. Animals have an incredible ability to bring us into the present moment, make us laugh, reduce stress, and remind us what unconditional connection looks like.That love inspired puppy and kitten yoga experiences and eventually became part of another branch of Inspired Happy Healing: loving, dependable pet care.I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for when you can't be there. My approach to pet sitting is simple: I care for your animals the way I would want someone to care for mine—with patience, affection, attention, and respect for their individual personalities and routines.
