A Bit About Me

I am an Integrative Health Practitioner and Certified Yoga Instructor

I found yoga and integrative health through my own journey with anxiety and autoimmune disease. 

I found yoga during a stressful time in my life and immediately knew that this practice would be life-changing. Yoga gave me confidence, concentration and composure when I needed it most. There is so much more to yoga than the physical asanas. It allows you to tap into your full potential and create meaningful change in your life. Yoga continues to transform me daily, so that I am more aware and present in my everyday life for myself and for those around me. I began teaching yoga so that I could help others enjoy the same experience through daily practice. Come practice with me and discover how yoga can enhance your life!

I suffered from severe fatigue, weight gain, and anxiety for some time before discovering that I had Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, was pre-diabetic, had hormonal imbalance, and was vitamin and mineral deficient. I distinctly remember the day I was told this by my conventional practitioner - I was in shock, both happy and sad at the same time. I was told I had an autoimmune disease and that my body would inevitably and eventually kill my thyroid. That day changed my life for the better. I immediately poured myself into functional medicine, reading everything I could regarding my condition. I immediately changed my diet, started detoxing and and added supplements that my body needed. I learned that autoimmune conditions can be reversed through discovery and treatment of the root cause and I became determined to heal myself. My anxiety subsided, my stubborn weight finally came off and I was full of energy, but this was only the beginning of my journey. I became certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner so that I could learn as much as possible and share that knowledge with others and help them heal themselves from the inside out.
