Always an active individual, I never would've thought I'd find my career in the health and wellness industry. But here we are and I love it. After spending a year and a half in a cubicle for a very large company, I knew it wasn't what I was meant to do, mentally and physically (sitting all day!). I began personal training as a second job and before I knew it, it was my full time job along with teaching Yoga. Yoga has been the constant in my life; as things changed-- jobs, towns, age-- Yoga has always been there. I began taking training programs over weekends and realized in the process how real it felt for me to share Yoga. It's now become part of my identity, at least to others. I feel more alive when I'm practicing and spreading Yoga.

Running and cycling are among my top favorite activities. If I can encourage my clients to find the form of exercise or activity that they enjoy, particularly outdoors, then I feel like my job is done. Instilling habits and hobbies to create a life change are what I tend to work for, and sometimes through exercise we can gain clarity on other aspects of our lives. Changing lives is a powerful thing.
