I have had the privilege to study and work as a yoga and physical therapist. I combine my knowledge of movement, the body, and my passion for lifelong learning with my unique capacity to patiently and compassionately hold space, so that you can remember your innate wisdom and potential to heal and live wholeheartedly.
This is your invitation to heal.
