“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” ― Rumi

As a life-long learner,  I am in search of building and expanding a language of health that addresses the complexity of individuals as a whole.  I seek to broaden my own lens and through that exploration share my knowledge with others.  It is my goal to empower, support and draw out the best in each individual in order for them to discover and live life to it’s full potential.  

In all of my practices and offerings I aim to expand conscious awareness.  An invitation to step beyond your place of comfort on the mat, in your body and in your mind.  As you expand your consciousness your heart opens and it is from this heart space that that we live our fullest, most authentic and expressed self.  That heart opening comes from yoga, meditation, shiatsu, art, music, spirituality, religion, rituals, intentional time dedicated to the present moment and a variety of other practices.  The magic happens when you take that new awareness and new found space and apply relentless action.  So through movement and body work we reconnect to our essence and our lessons and through coaching you fast track the integration. Call it the rubber hitting the road, that direct impact is coaching.  

Wherever you are on your journey I welcome you to reconnect to your deeper self.  Be it yoga, shiatsu, coaching, or a combination of your own methods, you are exactly where you need to be.  Join me in uncovering what you yearn for.  Unraveling what you know.  Discovering the possibilities.  Embracing the true self and embarking on the life you’ve always wanted.

I believe that we are all on our own journey’s with a set of lessons to learn and  through all of my work I seek to elevate. In any way I can, I’m here to help. I’m so glad you’re here.
