My Story
Yoga entered my life when I was searching for something I couldn't quite name, but could feel. Years of anxiety, self-doubt, and reaching outward for release and connection had left me feeling so distant from myself. What began simply with movement, quietly and slowly evolved into something much deeper: a path of self-inquiry, shedding, and greater alignment. I began questioning the stories I had carried, listening more closely to myself, and experiencing life with more curiosity than fear. I expanded, not into someone new, but into more of who I had always been.
And who is that? I'm learning that I am neither linear nor singular. I am a movement advocate, a compassionate soul, an avid listener and observer and, above all, a feeler. I experience much of the world intuitively, often sensing something long before the cerebral part of me can find the words for it. Yoga has given me a space to trust that part of myself. A space to explore, to question, to shed, to play, and to keep discovering who I am.
In many ways, this practice has felt like coming home. But coming home isn't always comfortable. Meeting yourself exactly where you are can be confronting, especially in a world that is constantly pulling us outward, toward more doing, more comparison, more noise. Through yoga, I've found a way to keep returning inward: to listen, to feel, and to show up more fully as I am. And it is from this place that I feel called to share the practice with others.
My Philosophy
Rooted in self-study, inner exploration, and the here & now.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali begin simply: Atha yoga anushasana —“Now, the practice of yoga.” I’m drawn to the simplicity of now. Nothing to change, nowhere else to be, no one else to become before the practice can begin. We begin with what is here, in this moment. My work isn't about asking you to fit into someone else's definition of wellness. It's an invitation to become curious about your own – to explore what movement, mindfulness, strength, rest, joy, and healing look like for you. I don't believe my role is to tell you what you need. Rather, I meet you exactly where you are and create experiences that help you listen more deeply to yourself, trust your own inner wisdom, and discover what feels supportive, meaningful, and true for you. From there, the practice becomes an exploration: an opportunity to observe what is here, become curious about what you uncover, and create space for what you may shed, strengthen, soften into, or become.
What is Yoga Therapy?
You are more than a symptom, diagnosis, or condition. Yoga therapy honors the whole person.
I am currently completing my training in Yoga Therapy, a path that has felt like a natural extension of my relationship with yoga and the way I already approach this work.
Yoga therapy is an individualized approach that uses the practices and philosophy of yoga to support your unique health, well-being, and goals. While people often seek yoga therapy because of pain, stress, injury, or a diagnosis, our work together isn't defined by what's “wrong”.
I believe each person is already whole. Rather than treating a symptom in isolation, yoga therapy is an invitation to listen more deeply, reconnect with yourself, and discover the practices that best support your life. My role isn't to fix you, it's to walk alongside you as you return home to yourself.
