About Me
ABOUT ME:
Born and raised in Northern California, I jumped at the opportunity to explore SoCal life as an undergrad at the University of California, Irvine. I graduated in 2006, focusing on dance and psychology, and I moved to NYC to pursue a dance career. I soon came to an honest crossroads - my body could no longer take the intensity of life as a dancer. Instead, I dedicated more time to deepening my yoga practice. After my first teacher training at Pure Yoga in 2009, I began teaching immediately. In 2012, I started studying with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee. I am now a Senior Faculty member at The Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, NY.
In 2018, I became a certified (CPCC, ACC) Life Coach through the Co-Active Training Institute. I have trained and studied with Co-Active Training Institute, Shirzhad Chamine, creator and author of “Positive Intelligence,” The Strozzi Institute - Center for Embodied Leadership, and Sarah Baldwin (Somatic Experiencing and Nervous System Coach). In 2024, I received my second coaching certification through Elementum Coaching Institute, a trauma-informed and somatic-focused coaching program.
Through coaching and teaching, I aim to give my clients and students tools to navigate their lives in a conscious and embodied way. My mission is to empower my clients to feel at choice in their lives. I specialize in making spirituality practical, getting unstuck, creating new perspectives, and cultivating an embodied life aligned with your purpose and values.
