I was born October 31, 1963 and grew up in Lavallette, NJ loving the beach. As a kid 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 relaxation and anything that seemed mystical at all, I was the reluctant yogi. After I turned 40 I shifted from Dental Hygiene to becoming a Personal Trainer and a few years later fell into yoga teacher training in order to be able to sub a class at the gym. It was then Yoga found me and became my passion that gets stronger every year. It’s exciting that you can create this adult-onset athleticism 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 is when I was led to take a deeper dive into Reiki completing my certification as a Reiki Master Level Practitioner and also deepening my skills in guiding Meditation and Coaching Mindfulness. 16 Years of experience sharing yoga with a variety of people has been the best school for this added offering!
