I have been a student in the healing arts for over a decade. When I discovered Viniyoga and began studying with Gary Kraftsow, I had already completed 2 Yogaworks teacher trainings, obtained a certification in Pilates and completed 1000 hours of massage and nutrition. Viniyoga brought me home to myself, and the various threads of my studies began to integrate.

My most recent training in life coaching supported the synthesis of my years of training and experience in holding space for people and supporting them in working their process. I began to work with clients to explore the mind/body connection and guide them through integration. It occurred to me that the coaching was “yoga” and felt like the missing piece to the work, inspiring a deeper layer of integration in my effectiveness with clients.

I designed my Yogic life coaching programs after working with regular yoga clients for several years and realizing that a big piece of the healing journey is self-awareness. I started getting curious about how we show up to ourselves and others, and how yoga practice helps us manage much bigger issues than tight hamstrings and toning booties. I realized that through an awareness practice we could learn how to manage change.

Yoga has supported me throughout my life, transforming my structure (my scoliosis), supporting me energetically and emotionally through break-ups, loss and illness and opening me up to more joy, possibility and peace.

That is why I am so dedicated to bringing yoga and Yogic life coaching to my clients. Because it works.

I believe happiness is a choice. I surround myself with creative, self-aware people who have a sense of humor and are visionary.

I love to work with people who inspire me. I love to work with a diverse group of people from all walks of life and I am able to connect with a wide range of people. I learn from my clients and friends just as much as they learn from me. My favorite clients are those who desire to express themselves fully and really put themselves out there in the world. I attract people who have a passion for life are committed parents, artists, activists, and healers, who desire to be doing work that supports a world that is socially and environmentally responsible; those who want their lives to be meaningful.

I find that focusing my attention on my clients’ goals and holding a space of possibility not only opens doors for them, but also opens up what is possible for others and myself. I believe in magic. I help create magic. I love this work because It equally supports me in walking my own talk and living in community, staying present, staying in possibility, and knowing I don’t have to do it all by myself.
