About Me

I discovered a love for movement and a sense of awe for the human body early on and have been on a journey to dive more deeply ever since. Throughout high school and as a dance major in college, I studied a wide array of movement modalities and went on to pursue a career as a professional dancer. My career gave me the opportunity to perform around the United States, and participate in residencies in cities around the world including London, Tel Aviv, Xian, and more.

Throughout my studies, I was introduced to yoga as a way to stay healthy – physically and mentally – and my practice has carried me through every difficult transition of my adult life. After completing my 200-hour yoga certification in 2015, I went on to continue my studies with internationally recognized teachers, including Judith Lasater, Leslie Kaminoff, Gary Kraftsow, and Donna Farhi. Over time, my yoga practice expanded beyond a physical practice to include meditation, breath work, and mindfulness practices.

In 2022 I became one of the first certified Yoga, Sex + Death™ Facilitators through which I also began facilitating feminine embodiment practices, Tantrik Hatha Yoga, and self-inquiry through The Work of Byron Katie.

I strive to help all of my students heal through restorative yoga, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, self-inquiry, and intuitive movement practices. I truly believe that you are your own safest place to be, and I want to help you experience that for yourself.
