Trauma, body image dysmorphia, anxiety, anorexia, bulimia, ADHD, and OCD. The diagnosis and experiences thrown at me throughout the years of my life. Resilient, friend, supporter, advocate, student of life, trauma informed, yoga therapist, and safe are the labels and words I connect to now…. But let’s start from the beginning

I’ve been guiding yoga, mindfulness and movement for 6.5 years, but when I passed my Yoga Therapy final I let out the biggest sigh of relief. I am no longer a Yoga Instructor. Now, don’t get me wrong there were many things I enjoyed about being a yoga instructor, however I could not shake the feeling as much as I was trying to offer something different- I was still surrounded by something that “fed” my eating disorder. Please note if you are currently a yoga instructor I love and appreciate you, it just wasn’t the final destination for me!
Yoga therapy is different. That’s not to say it is a better fit for everyone, but if you have ever felt discomfort or triggered in a yoga class, working with a yoga therapist might be a better fit for you. As a yoga therapist I believe I bring a unique perspective to the table. I understand first hand the challenges and complexities of living with mental health concerns. I personally experienced how the individualized routines created with a yoga therapist can be full of healing and growth. I believe everyone has the capacity for healing, transformation, and can walk their own unique path to this space. I am committed to providing compassionate support to support each of my clients in achieving their goals. If you are currently struggling with your mental health or feeling unsatisfied in life- please know I see you, I hear you, and I would be honored to support you. You are not alone. I have been there, and I understand how hard it can be to reach out for support.
If you are ready, let’s explore self-discovery,self- regulation, connect with your body, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being together!
