I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of holistic wellness practices to support and nurture others on their path to whole body-mind wellbeing. I have been committed to my yoga practice for over 16 years and have directly experienced the benefits of physical and emotional healing through consistent practice. I believe that working on the physical body directly affects the deeper aspects of our being, and that yoga is an invaluable tool for personal growth and transformation. My mission is to share the peace and expansiveness of these practices with others in a safe and warm environment.

As an Energy Medicine Practitioner, my classes interweave my extensive experience with yoga, bodywork, aromatherapy, and Ayurveda to connect with the body’s subtle energy systems, eliminate blockages, release old patterns, and activate the body’s natural healing abilities.

My yoga background is in Hatha/Tantric-based yoga, with intensive study of Kundalini yoga since 2016. I completed a 200-hour Teacher Training certification with Kim Valeri of yogaspirit® Studios under the instruction of Saskia Bergmans Smith in 2017, and began teaching yoga that same year. I am also certified in Compassionate Kundalini Yoga (Ravi Singh) and am currently completing a 200-hour TT certification at Summer School of Yin Yoga, with founder Josh Summers. I hold additional certifications in restorative, prenatal, trauma-informed, and children’s yoga and have completed several teacher training modules in the Pranakriya School of Yoga Healing Arts, including Prenatal, Restorative, and Advanced Pranayama and Anatomy. In 2018, I became certified in Ayurvedic Massage.

To become an Energy Medicine Practitioner, I studied Advanced Energy Healing with Dr. Jacqueline Kos of Guilford, CT, completing an intensive 3 1⁄2-year course of study in 2018, and I continue assisting with training new student groups. Energy healing is a holistic practice where the healer channels universal life force (or healing energy) into a patient to help balance, heal, and remove blockages from the body. A healer can help you to identify areas of imbalance in your energy fields that impact emotional, mental, and unexplained physical pain. Energy healing allows work to be done in the body while connecting to one’s mind and inner child. Through the use of unwinding, sounding, recapitulation and other techniques, the healer can go deeper into the stuck energy to restore flow, balance, harmony, and vitality within the body.

My yoga sessions are further enhanced with my knowledge of aromatherapy. I am Level 2 certified in Medicinal Aromatherapy with Wisdom of the Earth (WOTE) Essential Oils, a woman-founded and owned company in Arizona. In addition, I am studying Hellenistic Astrology with Adam Ebinbass and Sacred Astrology with Danielle Blackwood. In my seasonal Yin yoga-themed classes and healing sessions, I infuse essential oils specific to astrology and the 5 Element Theory.

I hold a master’s degree in Education and Special Education from SCSU, New Haven. I taught for 10 years at Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) in Hamden, CT, with emphasis on high-risk youth.

Ayurveda science, Chinese Medicine, and herbalism are my newer passions. I also enjoy hiking, bicycling, photography, supporting the local music scene, gardening, and time by the sea.
