I am a 500-hour registered yoga instructor. I am also a yoga therapy candidate, currently working on my practical hours in an 850-hour yoga therapy certification program. My expertise is in therapeutic, adolescent, and trauma-informed yoga.

I naturally see what people need, I have a lot of patience, and I am good at sorting through factors to solve a problem. I use strategic thinking and intuition to create a yoga session for my students' needs and wants; I am people informed, allowing me to be sensitive towards my students; and I take the initiative when there is an opportunity to develop or contribute to a program for underserved populations.

​My empathy, dedication, and eagerness to learn allows me to work well in new and diverse environments. I believe in fostering an inclusive practice so that anyone that wants to practice yoga, knows they can and has the tools to do so.
