Background & Education: About

Background

I had the gift growing up immersed in nature, trained as a classical musician, vocal artist, and performer. This allowed me to receive a scholarship to attend The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts from which I graduated in 2007.

 

It was while in NYC that I found my yoga practice, but I only officially gained my RYT 200 certification in spring of 2019. Over the years, I continuously expand my yoga practice, exploration, & education. I'm currently working toward my RYT 300. My approach to teaching comes from a somatic and therapeutic lens; acknowledging and working with the body's intelligence and the story it holds.

 

For the past 3 years, I have publicly and privately taught. I also regularly collaborate with Many Moons Therapeutics to offer somatic workshop experiences as well as retreats.

​

I am also a certified sound practitioner that strives to honor the history and sacredness of sound work.  My unique use of cello adds another lush layer to the soundscapes I create for this therapeutic experience. I regularly facilitate sound meditations for the public, private groups, and in corporate sessions both in-person and virtually.

​

-> For virtual experiences I will soon be using a binaural microphone so participants get the sound experience as if they're in the room.

You can read more about this technology here. <-

​

The heart of my work is utilizing ancient tools of sound, yoga, and energetic therapy, to bring folx closer to themselves and true wellness from within.
