Your Instructor
My meditation journey began in 1980 while as a teenager. While pregnant with my youngest daughter in 1996, I embraced yoga as an additional part of my regular self-care routine. My personal life’s mission embraces the heart of service with kindness and compassion. Having experienced trauma, tragedy, and illness myself, I have found refuge in mind-body-spirit practices that have provided me with a sense of wholeness, well-being, and loving acceptance. Teachers who are inspired by their own healing and personal growth transmit that inspiration in their interactions with their students.
I am certified both in mindfulness and meditation. I am also a RYT500 and certified both in Accessible Yoga teacher and Yoga Therapeutics. I include mindfulness coaching, sound healing with singing bowls, energy healing and my work as a certified aromatherapist in my repertoire. As a practicing Buddhist, I find that when I understand what causes peace, I know where to direct my efforts. May my efforts continue to bring happiness, well-being, safety, peace, and ease to all beings.
