My healing journey through yoga began in 2000. When I began to crave more than the home practice I was dedicated to, I received my 200hr in 2010 with Jacqueline Chiodo. Passionate about continuing to grow, I completed my 500hr certification with Leslie Glickman in 2014. My intention in teaching is to offer a space for others to feel inspired, empowered and more connected.

The passion I hold for yoga as a healing art comes from my own experience. At my most radiant moments, and my darkest moments yoga has consistently made me feel more alive, connected, empowered, clearer, inspired and peaceful. As I struggled with various issues and uncovered hidden pieces of my life, practicing yoga allowed me to face what I had previous attempted to escape. Beyond that, teaching has been healing in a way I never could have imagined. My personal work is to continue to heal through movement, moments of stillness and creativity. My hope is to inspire by sharing what I continue to learn through my healing exploration.

I also hold certifications in Prenatal Yoga, Radiant Child Yoga III and Reiki III along with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art.
