In my 30s, after about a decade of practicing and teaching yoga daily, my own journey of healing needed a deeper layer.

I first learned of the Alexander Technique in 2004 when I began weekly private lessons with Nancy Romita. The transformation was unlike any other work I had experienced. In 2011 began Alexander Teacher Training with her, Wendy Salkind, and other guest teachers. I completed the 1600-hours of training and graduated in 2014.

In 2024 completed Roll Model® Method certification in myofascial self massage and teach my students and private clients how to problem solve their own pains and stuck parts so that they can live life more fully!

I continue to study and learn how irregular breathing patterns, injuries, pregnancy, working at a computer or playing an instrument professionally (and more human scenarios!) all affect our coordinated efforts and can either help or hinder how we age.

My background

Formative years:

I grew up in the Midwest, England & France. My undergraduate & graduate years I spent in Washington DC at American University, and in Maryland at Tai Sophia. As an adult I continued to move a lot and have lived in San Diego, Key West, NYC, New Hampshire, Maine and Ireland. (I really love being near water!)

Traveling has given me a deep love (and skill) for connecting, communicating and understanding people quickly and compassionately.

Somatic Education:

As someone who was active but not sporty, I often got injured. I learned (and was supported along the way) that healing is possible & that freedom from pain and its limitations is always within reach. This created a powerful foundation for my life long career as a healer. I understand others’ pain. I offer reassurance that the future can hold new possibilities and provide practical steps on how to get there.

My certifications include: 500-hour Original Hot Yoga, Yin Yoga, 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga, Alexander Technique, Functional Awareness and Roll Model® Method,
