About

Hi, I’m Anabelle. I was born in Haiti and immigrated to the U.S at a very young age. I spent my childhood and teenage years in Kansas City, Missouri. Since getting married to my husband Max, I have lived throughout the United States. Currently, Minneapolis is home.

I have always had a passion for mindfulness, holistic care, and wellness. However, my bumpy road to motherhood was the inception of my healing journey. During those years, I spent innumerable days and weeks in the hospital. Most mornings and nights were spent meditating on my mat. My relationship with God, my healer, strengthened. Those years played a pivotal role in who I am today. My transformation not only birthed a new me, but also two new lives, Joahna and Noah. 

Creating Brown Yogi Girl is my way of giving back to the world, and sharing all that I have learned during my healing journey. I am passionate about helping people live a healthier, happier life.

Outside of serving and helping people reach their wellness goals, I am an educator. I have served as a classroom teacher for 10 years and counting. My teaching journey started in Kansas Citty after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Education Administration.

In my years of teaching, I have used mindfulness practices across various schools in the United States, in rural villages in Aux Cayes, Haiti, and in Beaumont, France. I am deeply passionate  about providing everyone, including my students, with holistic care and education. 

My hope is to guide and support you throughout your journey to a better you. This may be in the form of meditating, deep breathing, doing yoga, adopting mindfulness practices, or simply praying for you or with you. Whichever one you choose, know that I will be there with you every step of the way.
