As a middle and high school band director since 2010, I’ve seen firsthand the unique challenges faced by educators. This experience has fueled my commitment to wellness practices that support both physical and emotional resilience. I began my yoga journey in 2018, completing a 200-hour certification with Breathe for Change, an organization dedicated to social-emotional wellness in schools. I continued with a second 200-hour training at Rising Wolf Yoga School in 2020, and since 2019, I’ve specialized in Vinyasa Power flow at Hot Yoga of East Nashville.
In 2023, I expanded my practice to include sound healing, earning a Level 2 Diploma in Sound Healing with Groups from the Sound Healing Academy in the UK, along with Levels 1 and 2 in Feeltone Sound Massage & Sound Therapy. I now offer monthly sound baths and small group sessions specifically designed for public school teachers, with a focus on stress relief and burnout prevention.
