Yoga has been a part of my life for 15 years, and my practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible, and courageous both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindful. I completed my 200 hour teacher training and my Massage training at Southwest Institute for the healing arts in Tempe, AZ, my second YTT was taking at the Studio Panterra in Westfield, NY. I learned the importance of alignment and use of props to make poses more accessible for ALL students. I will always be a student of the practice and I am deeply grateful for all the teachers who came before us who practice and shared the loving wisdom of yoga. In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing that builds upon itself to help the body & mind find space, a spirit of playfulness, and a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. I seek to help others thrive in life by nurturing body, mind, and soul with yoga techniques and bodywork. My hope is that you step off the mat or table feeling refreshed, nourished, and balanced.

From an early age I naturally massaged my mother’s back. However, it wasn’t until living in Hawaii that I began to have experience with the in’s and out’s of therapeutic bodywork, while studying and working along side “Papa K,” a well known Hawaiian ‘Kahuna’. His healing hands taught mine, and we travelled the island offering bodywork together. Upon moving to Florida in 2005, I became licensed and practiced there for 10 years before moving to New York and gaining my license here. The therapies I specialize in are Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release. My focus is to offer physical and emotional balance to each client, through the fascial system of connective tissue. A complex system which not only gives our bodies structure, but also holds our memories of trauma of all kinds. The unwinding of this amazing tissue provides relief of physical pain as well as disconnecting old patterns of thinking and being. It is with a grateful heart that I offer my knowledge and experience here at Eight Limbs.
