I offer self-care practices to help individuals and groups strengthen their self-awareness, mindfully challenge their comfort, and connect to their strength, resilience, and capacity for growth, as well as their ability to abide with the present moment as it is.
I also share metta/lovingkindness meditation practices to strengthen our capacity for self-love, belonging and empathy. Ultimately, I am here to facilitate a connection to the deeper part of ourselves that is resilient beyond our adversities, perceptions, and physical abilities.
I have been practicing Yoga since 2004 and began teaching in 2007 while navigating a deeply rooted fear of public speaking. I love leading retreats with International Yoga. Over the years I have studied and trained extensively in anatomy and therapeutics, Thai Massage, ball rolling and Reiki/energy work. I also train and mentor other Yoga teachers. I came to Yoga while working in non-profit development and volunteer management, after working in marketing and media research.
