Victoria is a Vedic Meditation teacher with over a decade of experience, blending Western psychology with Eastern yoga practices. Originally from Northern California, she earned her degree in psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder and pursued graduate studies in neuroscience and somatic psychology. In 2014, she apprenticed under the founder of Synergistic Play Therapy, learning a somatic model of nervous system regulation via mirror neuron activation. She then began a decade long apprenticeship with her Vedic Meditation teacher, studying the Vedas, the Siddhis, and the full spectrum of the Vedic worldview.

Victoria traveled back and forth to India throughout her twenties, to study Vedic Meditation, Breathwork, Kriya, Vinyasa, Hatha, Naad, Yoga Nidra, Restorative, and Yin Yoga. Naturally her style of teaching today is a mixed-modality method that focuses on sequencing in waves of energetic expansion and de-excitation to stabilize flow. Sound and vibration are integral to her approach, and serve as somatic guides into rhythmic regulation.

In 2015, she founded Sankalpa, a wearable wellness brand that grew into a global community of women empowering women through the power of intention.

In 2017, she co-founded The Subtle Mind, a meditation studio in Boulder, offering Vedic Meditation alongside a system of mixed-modalities for nervous system regulation. The space functioned as a community for creatives and wellness professionals to co-create shared experiences in the realm of sound, breath, bhakti, dance, yoga, Ayurveda, and art.

In 2020, Victoria left The Subtle Mind and paused Sankalpa to heal from a heart condition. She traveled to Blue Zone spots around the world to focus on her health and thus established an online community of students. A passion for storytelling lead her to explore a career of creative direction and branding in the sustainable fashion and wellness industries alongside her teaching career.

In 2023, Victoria founded Nowphoria to bridge the gap between meditation and action. Nowphoria offers individuals a systematic science to establishing stillness as the foundation for transformation through vedic meditation. Nowphoria connects the dots across the fields of neuroscience, somatic psychology, wave science, and the yogic system to foster a holistic framework to understand ourselves in relation to the whole. By focusing on creating inner nervous system stability first, we can use the practices offered within the yogic system with more intention, clarity, play, and without risk of disregulation. It’s an inside out method.

Based in Venice, California and online, Victoria offers courses, retreats, and classes that balance being with becoming. Her classes layer breath, movement, and sound to guide you into greater connection with the ever expanding present moment.
