My yoga practice developed in 2002 along the Owyhee River in Idaho, where I was training to be a river instructor. I went on to lead river expeditions from the Yukon to New Mexico for many years. However, my biggest adventures grew from exploring my yoga practice, I went into deep caverness parts of myself, evolved and found incredible self-growth through the teachings.
Since that time, I’ve completed two 200hr Teacher Trainings and a 300hr Teacher Training. I’ve trained in Hatha, Iyengar, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Anatomy, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Numa Breathwork, and Prana Flow. My most prolific teachers include; Karuna Ericson, Paul Erickson, Ally Bogard, Shiva Rea, Trevor Yelich, Eoin Finn, Celeste Needham, Tanis Fishman among others.
I birthed my first business in 2011 – a yoga studio – 4 months prior to my daughter. I’ve learned a tremendous amount about the practice and holding space for my community; while navigating the challenges of merging business with deep spiritual work.
As a transformational coach, teacher, and author of "Feminine Genius," I help people mine life’s toughest times and come out with the gold.
For over 20 years, I have maintained a private practice, facilitated retreats, and led online classes, guiding both groups and individuals through deep transformation, especially those who have accomplished SO MUCH in their lives with SO LITTLE self-love.
As a self-love specialist, one of my sacred assignments is to help it be as natural as breathing for people to be the self-trusting, self-confident, embodied, visionary beings they're meant to be.
My work integrates my certifications as a Master Practitioner of Transformational NLP, Holistic Health Coach, and Yoga Teacher. I draw upon my training in childhood developmental psychology, emotional literacy, compassionate communication, body-based meditation, holistic nutrition, and somatic trauma resolution, as well as my first career as a contemporary dancer, performing in 6 countries on 3 continents over 10 years.
I also dance, paint in oils, and tend my many exuberant houseplants in the home I share with my son and the cats, Smudge and Kalila.
