About Me
RYT 500 and Yoga Wellness Educator
Certified Yoga Therapist
Certified Group Fitness Instructor
Certified Cancer Exercise Specialist
I love helping people move better, with more ease and less/no pain.
The mindbody connection runs deep.
We have stories held in our bodies that can continue to create needless pain and suffering.
It's easier when you put your awareness into your movements to gaining insight into your journey of self healing and transformation.
Accessing your internal and external worlds (mind and body) through mindful movement, breathwork, yoga and meditation can also create the change that you need to live a more fulfilled meaningful life with purpose and direction.
Move. Strengthen. Heal.

When you truly listen to your body, incredible transformations can happen. Let’s dive into this exciting adventure toward a vibrant and healthier life together!
