Hi, I'm Renée.

My family and I moved to Ocean Springs from Dallas, TX almost 10 years ago. We fell in love with the beauty and rich history of Gulf Hills, bought land and built our current home on the Back Bay of Biloxi. I love that the studio is located inside of Gulf Hills Hotel and Resort. The hotel was frequented by Al Capone, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe in the 50s as a coastal hangout / hideaway.

I quit my high stress corporate job when we moved to Mississippi in 2016. I made a major pivot and pursued and studied yoga, cooking, nutrition and pilates. I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, became a certified holistic health coach and loved every second of it. I work with people one-on-one and help them make small, gradual changes that have big impacts overtime! It's incredible to see how it can change the trajectory of someone's life.

I want this space to be place that when people walk through the door their nervous system instantly relaxes. Like a total-body softening. Everything from the subtle smell of essential oils, the live wall, to the cold lavender face-towel in savasana... I want their yoga/pilates experience to feel indulgent, like going to the spa.

But what truly sets this space apart is the sense of community. As you show up regularly, familiar faces become friends, conversations linger, and the studio begins to feel like a place you belong. This is a space to breathe, move, restore and connect—together.
