About Me
It’s About the Journey:
“I feel like my entire life has led me to this moment..... And I couldn't be more excited to share it with you…”
I’ve been a certified Yoga Instructor since May of 2018. I received my 200 hr certification from YogaSix in Milwaukee after falling in love with this practice myself. My journey to a regular yoga practice rooted from a deep need for change in my life. I was combating anxiety, depression, I was 50lbs overweight, and overall felt lost in my purpose. Finding my yoga practice transformed the way I viewed and engaged with life. I found so much relief from my personal mental health struggles, was inspired to start living a more sustainable life, and found the motivation to get healthy. My foundation and interest in movement began with years of gymnastics. I spent the last decade devoted to running a gymnastics center, and have always been interested in the body mechanics involved in intricate movements. I’ve always had a love for movement, personal awareness, and growth. The link into the yoga world grew stronger through my education in Psychology where I focused on trauma informed care. Today, my practice has evolved to an inner emotional and spiritual journey. By integrating body, breath, movement, and meditative awareness, I strive to promote an understanding of the interdependency of all these aspects in personal health and wellbeing.
A Therapeutic Approach
Ultimately, this is a practice of getting to know yourself, through yourself, to heal yourself. It's a beautiful moment when you have this realization; when you realize that you hold the key to deep healing. I've always had a passion to work in the mental health industry. As someone who personally struggled with mental health, I knew that my life’s work was best served helping others find peace and ease through their own personal struggles. I currently hold a BA in psychology and have 3 years of experience working side by side with therapists assisting in client treatment plans. My 1000 yoga teaching hours, 500 of which are therapeutic private services, with a focus on trauma-informed care, have been a true honor to offer as my passion is helping others discover their own innate tools to heal. This approach implements the application of yoga postures and practice to the treatment of health conditions and involves instruction in yogic practices and teachings to prevent, reduce, or alleviate structural, physiological, emotional, and spiritual pain, suffering or limitations.

GYMNASTICS & CHEER
My foundation and first love was in functional movement. My entire life was spent in the gym where my world revolved around the potential of the physical body. Yoga was a very easy choice as it implemented the aspects of functional movement in a much more mindful way then I had previously been taught. I fell in love with the yoga practice as a tool to recover from injuries, for injury prevention, and to help athletes learn focus and psychological tools to improve their careers. Yoga and meditation tools have been proven to be effective for overall performance, to cope with the stress of a competitive sport, and to help in mindful awareness and connection to your body.
