I’m a yoga teacher and certified yoga therapist with over 14 years of experience supporting people to reconnect with their bodies — to move with greater ease, build resilience and feel more at home within themselves.

My work brings together mindful movement, functional alignment, breath and nervous system support, grounded in a deep curiosity about the relationship between body and mind. My approach has been shaped by years of teaching, ongoing study and lived experience — including the ways stress, life transitions and motherhood invite us to continually renegotiate our relationship with our bodies.

I aim to create practices that feel personal, accessible and deeply nourishing, helping people cultivate greater self-understanding and resilience.

Supporting mothers holds a special place in my work. Becoming a mother gave me a deeper understanding of how tending to everyone else can leave little space for ourselves, and of the importance of feeling supported through overwhelm, anxiety and shifting identity. This shapes the spaces I create for mothers — in classes, workshops and individualized therapeutic work — to reconnect with themselves, tend their nervous systems and feel supported through the ongoing transitions of motherhood.

I also support people navigating injuries, persistent discomfort, stress and anxiety, and those seeking to move with greater comfort, confidence and capacity in their daily lives. My private work draws on movement, breathing practices, meditation, yoga nidra and other restorative and contemplative approaches that foster healing, resilience and long-term well being. My classes emphasize thoughtful sequencing, embodied awareness and accessible movement that meets people where they are.

This same approach extends into my work as a mentor and guest faculty member in yoga therapy training, where I support practitioners in learning to see the whole person, listen deeply, recognize patterns and connect the dots to offer thoughtful, responsive and individualized care.

Outside the studio, I find inspiration in my son’s curiosity and love dancing to live music, tending my garden and curling up with a good book.
