My journey into holistic health began in my teenage years after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that profoundly affected my quality of life. When conventional medicine offered little relief, I felt compelled to seek a deeper understanding of my body, mind, and soul.

Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, balanced nutrition, energy work, and many other modalities of self-care, I found a path to healing—one that continues to evolve. My commitment to natural health and wellness has led me to study and explore healing traditions across the U.S. and around the world, deepening my knowledge and reinforcing my passion for helping others find balance and vitality.

With over 22 years of dedicated practice as a Certified Yoga Teacher, I integrate movement, breath, and mindfulness into my work to support overall well-being. As a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2007, I have expanded my practice to serve clients in New York, Vermont, Maine and Florida, and I am a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association. In 2010, I became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and am also a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.

My education and personal healing journey have given me a deep understanding of diverse healing modalities. I work closely with my students and clients, helping them navigate meaningful lifestyle changes by addressing both physical and emotional health. My approach is highly individualized, offering compassionate guidance and practical tools to support each person’s unique path to wellness.

I remain committed to lifelong learning, continually exploring the latest research on the science behind ancient healing practices. I welcome curiosity and conversation, always eager to share insights and learn from those I serve.

My mission is to empower others to cultivate greater harmony in their lives—body, mind, and soul.
