My Story
I entered this world with a healthy dose of fire in my belly and love in my heart. I struggled with traditional learning and was labeled learning disabled. This sat heavy in my heart. My solace came from time in nature and moving my body freely. I enjoyed sports and considered myself an athlete, I was good at pushing myself and stoking my inner fire.
Life happened, events started to reveal holding patterns inside of me. I witnessed the second plane hit on September 11th, everything I had suppressed rose to the surface and I returned to Vermont’s nurturing embrace. Mary Oliver and Pema Chodron’s language softened my heart. I ran my first marathon, quit my corporate job and started helping folks live happier healthier lives through empowering them with right running shoe.
I explored the Art of Being Human through teachings of Shambhala meditation. The mantra “from a place of joy” arose from my being and I followed it to Carbondale, Colorado. I was transformed by my 5 Gems Yoga Teacher training, became PT Aide and then a personal trainer and married the love of my life!
Yet, I yearned for a deeper relationship with my body. I enrolled in a somatic training course with teacher Kaila June and started to learn how to tend to my body and calm my nervous system through movement. 6 months later I was in a car accident, this work became my daily medicine and taught me how to move at a healing pace.
I am a life long learner and love sharing the knowledge I have gained through listening to my body’s inner wisdom. Working with me is a co-creative process that is defined by your goals, needs and learning style. My absolute joy is guiding my clients into a relationship with their body’s innate intelligence and witnessing them evolve into a refined expression of themselves.
