I have always been interested in the spiritual aspects of yoga and I’m drawn to yoga modalities that best allow people to broaden their awareness and experience their own light and power. I have 10 years of experience teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in the yoga studio setting and to children and teenagers in the school setting. I specialize in yoga and meditation for trauma, grief, and spiritual growth. I am an active learner, continuously reading many books on yoga and yogic philosophy, taking classes to enhance my teaching, and have a consistent personal yoga and mediation practice.
I began doing intuitive sessions with my loved ones long before I had any formal training in energy work. I bring a unique combination of spiritual gifts to assist me in intuitively guiding others to their own inner knowing and healing. All of my energy work with others is centered in unconditional love, attentive listening, acceptance, and the belief that we all have access to truth.
All of my classes and workshops are built around great teaching, because I am a life-long educator. With a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction and over 15 years in public education, I love creating workshops that are student-centered and that provide powerful opportunities for connection, community-building, and hands-on experience.
I became interested in grief and death after the loss of my former husband and best friend. I began holding grief work classes to support others in their grief and to teach what I had learned about healthy grieving in 2021. My interest in this topic expanded into my certification as an end-of-life doula. I am honored to support others in the sacred transition of death.
