The Who Behind the What
Peanut comes from a nickname my dad gave me after I was born prematurely.
Throughout the 17 years we had together, he reminded me that big things often come in the small packages. He believed in the power of small steps and the magic of tiny beginnings being the seed of something great. That philosophy became the foundation of Peanut Productions.
My professional journey began at 12 years old when I convinced my parents to sign a release so I could work on Atlasta Farms in Waxhaw, NC. I wanted to earn money for a Corgi puppy and shopping trips to Limited Too, things my working-class family couldn't afford. I went on to work in veterinary medicine, hospitality, public radio, journalism, marketing, Fortune 50 financial institutions, and a top-rated international healthcare system. I served two AmeriCorps terms, and have volunteered in mutual aid since 2011.
In 2018, Peanut Productions was founded to collaborate with entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and businesses on strategic marketing, communications, and creative production. In 2026, Peanut Productions stopped taking outside clients and absorbed Peanut Yogini Yoga, now solely focusing on producing yoga events.
My yoga journey began in 2006 as a path toward healing after the loss of my father and Pa Pou back-to-back. What started as a personal practice for peace later became a tool in recovery then a calling I have shared with hundreds of adults and kids.
Peanut Productions offers private yoga classes, small group yoga classes, and free monthly yoga. We believe that simple, safe, intentional movement (in community!) can create powerful change.
