I started my Yoga path in 2013 when I took my first class to "be more flexible".  It was then that I was introduced to Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method.  I discovered there is an even greater benefit to Yoga than just being flexible.  Although flexibility is important, building muscle strength and stability are equally as important.  I love guiding students how to down regulate their nervous system with functional breathing,  Yoga Tune Up® techniques and movement to target their body's blind spots which can be "stuck" from repetitive patterns. Engaging in this functional movement and healthy breathing encompasses the whole body/mind package.  After suffering a shoulder injury and spending thousands of dollars on medical bills and physical therapy which brought little relief, I also began the practice of rolling my tissues with the YTU Therapy Balls and after a few months, regained full range of motion and was pain free for the first time in almost a year.   A few years after taking that first class, I had the opportunity to take the Level 1 Teacher Training for Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method trainings.  I LOVE and am passionate about teaching this therapeutic work, and I know first hand the health benefits these programs have provided for myself and others.  I find tremendous joy in spreading the knowledge of self-care to others. There is no greater feeling than observing or hearing about a student's progress along their journey.  I am also a registered 200 hr. Yoga instructor with certifications in Yin, Energy Medicine®️ Yoga, and Yoga Shred®️ incorporating all into my weekly classes.
