About me

"
As a professional Big Mountain skier and guide, I thought I knew my body well. But it was yoga that showed me how much I still had to learn – and heal. Nearly two decades ago, when a beloved family member was in deep trouble and I was halfway around the world, worry consumed me. Something inside urged me to try yoga. Dedicating just 20 minutes a day to myself, I noticed a profound change within two months. The endless chatter of worry quieted, and years of physical and mental trauma slowly began to heal.

Since then, yoga has been my guiding light through numerous health and emotional challenges, from healing the damage caused by bulimia and childhood trauma to recovering from head trauma, a broken neck, and a devastating injury that left me unable to walk. It has also helped me move beyond domestic violence and discover the source of a deep sadness. This transformative journey is what inspired me to become a Yoga Therapist. I am passionate about empowering others to tap into their own innate healing abilities, no matter what challenges they face.

I believe in empowering clients to discover their own innate abilities to heal themselves through the tools of yoga therapy. By addressing the root cause of issues and creating a personalized healing plan that strengthens the brain, nervous system, and overall well-being, I am dedicated to helping you find your healthiest, happiest self.
