I was a practicing Physical Therapist for 4 years when I experienced a traumatic personal event which led to me being hospitalized for 5 days. I was unaware I was making my body sick through the daily lifestyle choices that were being made. Not taking care of my body led to over stress and me feeling rundown at work. It's ironic that I studied the human body but I was not taking care of it. Physically, nutritionally, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. It was the perfect storm that led me to my week stay at the local hospital.

While in the hospital I saw how weak I was and how damaging the life I was living was affecting not only me but people around me. The Hospital had several yoga mats in the common area. I became intrigued and started to do whatever I knew at that time was yoga. I told myself when I'm out of the hospital, I'm going to join a yoga class.

Indeed I did. 3 days after I was discharged I signed up for a Slow Flow class once a week. Then I started increasing my frequency to 5-6x week slowly after 6 months, and 2 years later I went away for an intensive teacher training. Around this time I was beginning to explore strength training and other hands on modalities like Myofascial Release. I suffered a low back injury following a poorly executed lift. I then began experimenting with my new disciplines into a Physical Therapy model. I have never been healthier in all aspects of my life by mending of these approaches. My goal is to offer theses services to others in a safe, effective, and life changing way.
