Welcome, and thank you for joining me on this journey!

I can say that Yoga changed the trajectory of my life and Yoga Therapy opened doors that gave me my life. 

I lived with chronic pain for decades.  I found myself caught in a cycle of seeking relief from endless therapies hoping each time that it was the fix.  Relief was always short term.  My pain always returned.  I felt alone.  I felt broken.  Pain affected the entire fabric of my life.  My world got smaller and smaller.  I was afraid to try new activities.  I took things off my list. I didn’t feel strong. 

In my professional work as a massage therapist, I was seeing these same patterns in my clients.  Many were caught in the cycle of temporary relief followed by recurring symptoms, rinse and repeat. I knew there was a  missing piece in the pain puzzle.

Enter pure movement…..I had a teacher introduce me to the concept of pure movement patterns versus compensatory ones.  I had to slow things down, which was really hard.  I had to cultivate curiosity about my movements, my breath and my thoughts.  From a place of awareness (this is KEY!) and lots of love, I slowly began shedding old patterns that no longer supported me while training and nurturing new supportive ones.  

I continue to grow my capacity and increase my vitality.  My journey inspires me to support others on their healing path.

I am a lifelong student, both on my mat and in the classroom.  Teaching is a way for me to share what I am learning and experiencing, by nature it evolves and grows, which is the dynamic movement of life.
