  • My Experience

    My path into this work has been shaped by years of learning how to care for both myself and others in a grounded, present way. I discovered yoga in 2012 while working in a demanding hospital environment, and it quickly became the place where I could unwind, reconnect, and find steadiness. That personal experience opened a door for me, and over time it grew into a calling to support others through mindful, accessible movement and healing practices.

    I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2023, then continued deepening my skill set through studies in Trauma Informed Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, Yoga Life Coaching, and Reiki Level 2. I am also pursuing certification as a Yoga Therapist with PranaYoga Institute, expanding my understanding of how yoga can be used therapeutically to support the nervous system and overall wellbeing.

    In my classes and one on one sessions, I blend gentle movement, breath awareness, restorative practices, meditation, sound, and energy work. I hold space with the intention of helping people feel safe enough to slow down, tune in, and honor their own pace.

My Story

Yoga became the place where I could breathe again.

I started practicing yoga in 2012 when I began my career as a nurse in a busy hospital setting. Yoga became the place where I could breathe again. It helped me decompress and stay balanced in the present moment while caring for others. After having my son, I felt a deeper pull to share this practice. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2023 and I never looked back.

My passion for helping others on their individual path to wellness keeps growing. I am now a Certified Yoga Life Coach and a Reiki Level 2 practitioner. I have additional training in Trauma Informed Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Kids Yoga. I am also in school to become a certified Yoga Therapist through PranaYoga Institute so I can deepen my learning and expand my ability to support others in this emerging field of yoga therapy.

I am truly excited to meet you and walk beside you on your wellness journey. I love leading classes that feel calming and rejuvenating. I believe that anyone can practice yoga and experience meaningful, life changing benefits in their own body and heart.
