It all goes together…

I love to learn. My student career includes a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a master’s in Wellness Management, and a doctorate in Health Education. All of my studies have woven together in the theme of yoga, bodywork, and wellness.

My yoga training began with the American Viniyoga Institute, completing the 500-hour yoga teacher training in July 2005 and 500-hour AVI Yoga Therapist training in October 2009. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) since 2013. Specialized trainings include Ayurvedic Specialist Training in 2022 and yoga for the pelvic floor with Leslie Howard in 2023. All of my trainings have taught me to focus on the ever changing needs of the practitioner including physical, mental, and emotional components.

My other certifications include National Board Certified Health/Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) trained through Wellcoaches Inc., certified personal training through ACSM, and licensed massage therapist for the state of IN. 

My belief is that the work I do is directed to help others feel better.  I am a life-long learner and I continue to explore ideas and therapies that focus on ways to reduce suffering and increase our capacity for joy.
