I found my yoga practice in 2018 while working as a mental health professional. My passion for mental health, intentional self-care, trauma informed care and a love of physical movement brought me to yoga teacher training with Kristine Mast in 2022.

This journey opened up an untapped layer in my heart. I began exploring the 8 limbs of yoga and found a deep passion for the stories behind the poses. Traditional Vinyasa combined with breath work offered an opportunity to assist others to travel deeper into their own personal practice while making connections to the fundamentals.

My own struggle with sleep and anxiety created a desire to understand how to support a decrease in symptoms through yoga nidra and acupuncture. As a result, I became an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist with the 5 point auricular acupuncture and a certified yoga nidra guide. This opened my heart to the benefits of the softer side of yoga and I became certified in Yin Yoga shortly after.

I have taught children as young as 3 years old movement and breath work, and groups of young adults to encourage self-care and mental health awareness. I’ve partnered my yoga knowledge with foundational social-emotional learning in the school systems. I offer both Yin and Vinyasa classes in the community, as well as monthly workshops to support rest, relaxation, and an increase in sleep benefit.
