I was born October 31, 1963 and grew up in Lavallette, NJ loving the beach. Growing up I wasn’t athletic, flexible, or calm at all. I took my first yoga class right after graduating college as a Dental Hygienist because I thought that career was going to give me terrible posture. I liked the stretching but struggled with meditation (hating the quiet of savasana) I was the reluctant yogi. 

 

After I turned 40 and a tragic life event happened I needed help and yoga breathing became my anchor to healing. I shifted from Dental Hygiene to becoming a Personal Trainer and enrolled in a  yoga teacher training. It was then Yoga found me and became my passion and a way of living that grows deeper every year. It’s exciting that you can create this adult-onset athleticism in your body and quiet your mind more at any point in your life and that’s a message I want to share with everyone. Your age is not a cage!

​

In 2020 I learned during the quarantine that I needed more than Yoga and Fitness in order to cope with the uncertainty in the world. This led me to take a deep dive into Reiki complete my certification as a Reiki Master Level Practitioner and also deepen my skills in Meditation Coaching.

​

At my core I believe that CURIOSITY is key for keeping my mind open to riding the waves of life. I encourage my students to embrace curiosity as they step into a class and know they are already AMAZING when they arrive.

18 Years of experience sharing yoga with a variety of people is a gift, I learn from my students each class!

​

You do you the best, I am here to support you in the practices that help you own your power and know you truly are AMAZING!
