Since my late teens, I have been interested in exploring optimal health and well being. I found yoga when I was in my late 20’s and dedicated myself to daily practices. Through my 20’s and early 30’s, I noticed that I was experiencing back pain frequently. I began exploring a more therapeutic style of yoga and found it to be helpful with my back pain. In 2003, I decided to take a yoga teacher training that emphasized the benefits of moving well, incorporating breath practices and meditation and have been teaching group yoga classes for 20 years now. In 2009, I became co-owner of Bodhi Tree Yoga Studio in Penfield, NY. In 2017, I began offering one on one private yoga sessions which has allowed me to use the tools of movement, breath and stillness to support clients on their healing journey. In 2024, I studied with Dr. John Beaulieu, ND, PhD to dive deep into how sound can be another doorway into balancing the body-mind and spirit. I now include sound balancing into my yoga therapy sessions. I have a passion for helping people gain greater awareness and presence within themselves. I am continually motivated and inspired to share the healing benefits of therapeutic yoga with my clients and am grateful to all of my teachers for sharing their knowledge and wisdom Some of my further education and certificates include:
