About Me

My yoga journey began 2 decades ago.  At that time I was experiencing horrible anxiety, panic attacks,  and struggled daily with "I'm not good enough" thoughts.  From my first yoga class, I intuitively knew that a dedicated yoga practice was what I needed to heal myself.  In 2014,  I began teaching classes at the Beverly YMCA which has served as my home base for 12 years.  In addition to thousands of hours on my mat, I have remained a constant and curious student.  I hold cerifications as follows:

•  200 hour Yoga certification with Kat Whitney

• 30 hour Restorative certification with Megan Ghirardi

• 30 hour Yin certification with Willa Worsfold

• 30 hour Trauma Informed certification with Northshore YMCA

• 300 hour Advanced Yoga certification ( in process) with AnnaKathryn Carlson

• Reiki 1 with Deana Bacon

• Master's Degree in Education from Salem State

I would describe myself as a  teacher for all.  I love community based classes and have worked passionately to build  a strong and inclusive community of practice.  We breathe together, move together, learn together, laugh together, and support each other in the craziness and beauty of life.  I welcome all ages and ability levels.

My styles are Vinyasa;  strong, creative, deep.  I also teach slow flow, restorative, and yin; a mindful combination of movement and stillness.
