I specialize in therapeutic, gentle, restorative yoga for older adults, cancer and heart disease patients but also teach classes for the general public and work with individuals. I have a level I and II certification from the Egoscue University, specializing in relieving pain by restoring proper posture. I incorporate postural alignment concepts, stress management, somatics and meditation in my yoga classes and work with individuals.

I am a practitioner and teacher of Integrative and Holistic Healing, Wellness, and Injury Prevention for 14 years. I am trained to work with individuals as young as newborn age throughout the life cycle. I have specialized training in working with infants, children and their families, pre/postnatal women, individuals healing through cancer on land and in the water. I have developed a unique approach to healing and wellness that unites the science of physical therapy with yoga therapy, belly dance, creative movement, energy medicine, breath training, healing through gentle bio-energetic breathwork, massage, aromatherapy, aquatic therapy, shamanic healing methods, and sound healing/vibrational medicine. I teach highly effective, evidence-based and personalized healing and wellness approaches that are easy to learn so my clients may benefit maximally with minimal effort to LIVE THEIR LIVES TO THE FULLEST. I align with Divine Source during our sessions, so that together we may co-create solutions for your healing and wellness needs.

There is a movement that is happening. It is a movement for healing that is arising from each person's soul. As a culture we have exhausted the possibilities of our individualistic/separatist concepts of life and are now awakening to the "interbeing" of all of life. Sourcing ourselves from this place of "interbeing" is the only truly sustainable way to live and yet we often feel confused about how to connect with that source. In my own life, I have found no better way to connect to this source than through the body. When we enter into the awareness of our own body, we discover the wellspring that gives our life meaning, creativity and the ability to simply be with what is. In these challenging times when the world is changing so quickly, it can be difficult to feel where our moorings are. But if we go deeply into our own felt experiences we discover the resiliency, the comfort and the wisdom to continue making our way on a path with heart. I draw from a variety of ways for accessing the body's wisdom to help guide clients to a deeper relationship with their own body. Clients learn how to release tension, align the body, listen deeply to what the body is saying, and to be present with whatever is arising (both internally and externally). Also explored are methods for self expression that help nurture and sustain a healthy, creative life. My clients are often people who are moving through some kind of healing process. Whether it is an illness, an injury, or some type of chronic pain, clients frequently come to this type of body awareness work when they have not had the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual relief that they are seeking from other modalities such as physical therapy or psychotherapy. Physical therapy that does not take into account the psycho-emotional aspect of body symptoms can be little better than a short term fix and likewise psychotherapy that focuses only on mentally comprehending troubling issues, is missing out on the vast resources for healing that the body offers. With Movement for Healing you will reap the benefits of allowing your whole self to participate in your healing.

Therapeutic Yoga benefits include pain management, lower blood pressure, increased bone strength, joint mobility, improved immune system, cardiovascular conditioning, reduced stress, psychological well being, improved balance, weight reduction, and much, much more... YOGA THERAPY IS… A therapy combining modern day anatomy, physiology & psychology with the ancient yoga practice of strengthening the body & mind as one. In conjunction with modern medicine, it can help overcome many physical ailments and one of the chief factors undermining health today: an out-of-balance stress-response system. Here are just a few of the proven benefits of yoga: lower blood pressure, increased bone strength & joint mobility, pain relief, improved immune system, cardiovascular conditioning, reduced stress, psychological well being, improved balance, reduced weight and much more. WHAT TO EXPECT… A yoga therapy session is more like working with a physical therapist or rehabilitation specialist than taking a traditional yoga class. You will learn how to access the mind & body’s natural pain suppressing system through: *Breathing techniques to deal with pain & anxiety *A sequence of movements shown to reduce pain & restore physical health *How to listen to your body and develop intuition of what it needs *Deep relaxation to help tap into the body’s natural healing response

I help people to relax, grow calm, in a very relaxing and calm environment. Slow stretches and meditation helps people to forget the stresses of the world and open themselves up to peace and tranquility. During the session, the person goes into a deep half state, is able to talk about their past blocks, pains, etc...They go through a deep meditative state, then wake up to doing yoga, and working through their blocks. They end the session free and calm of burdens, feeling lighter and more present. Therapeutic yoga is for everyone, and that’s why we offer what we call the TheraYoga Method.

Pranayama I, II and III “Prana is the energy permeating the Universe at all levels. It is physical, mental, intellectual, sexual, spiritual and cosmic energy. All vibrating energies are prana. It is energy which creates, protects, and destroys.” - BKS Iyengar In this series of three 4-week modules we will begin to explore the connections between body, breath and mind, using a variety of pranayama practices including the three yogic bandhas, antara and bahya kumbaka, jiva mudra, bhastrika and nadi shodana. In each class we will employ some asana work, sometimes vigorous, then slow it down with inversions and/or supported chest-openers, and finally practice various pranayamas in the lying-down, seated and standing positions. We will also incorporate some powerful complementary techniques assimilated from Chinese taoist yoga, not found in Indian hatha yoga.
