My Philosophy

I believe we are energetic beings living in animal bodies. I believe it’s our birth right to be in our bodies however it asks us, and I lead by example while I hold space for others. My dharama, otherwise known as my purpose, is to help others who resonate with my path remember they are their wisest healers. I consider myself a loving rebel. I like to break rules most don’t even know they’re following. 

I’ve tried on a lot of identities, teachings, practices, healings, talk therapy sessions, trainings, etc. that have caused a lot of suffering in my life because my nature is intense and loves to feel the depths of the human experience.

I learned to love power, strength and sweat during my first yoga teacher training. After injuring myself too many times, I fell in love with nourishment, stability, healing and Restorative Yoga during my 340 hour training. I have needed different styles of yoga during different seasons of my life, and I respect all traditions and paths.

Today I guide my clients to learn the language and wisdom of their bodies through movement, rest, breath-work, energy work and bodywork. During each experience, whether a private session or group class, I build a safety net for my clients to “just be”. I build this safety net with demonstrations, verbal guidance, and hands on support.

I’m here to guide you back to your “beingness” where true freedom resides. Yoga is just the tool that brings you there.
