What I Believe
Things are dysregulating right now, by design. The constant onslaught of hate, discrimination, and violence every time you open your phone, burnout from the relentless push to keep producing beyond your capacity, personal trauma, generational trauma. It’s overwhelming. When we tend to ourselves and our nervous systems, we’re better equipped to deal with life off of the mat. We step into the world on the right foot, leading with love, compassion, and clarity. By prioritizing mental and physical health, establishing habits and routines that align with our values, and collectively tending to our nervous systems, we begin to change the world.
Where My Heart Lies
I love sharing yoga with anyone in need of nervous system support, from any background, gender, race and ability. My heart especially lies in helping women navigate the many transitions we experience throughout our lives. Trauma, daily stress, pregnancy, motherhood, careers, relationships, perimenopause, empty nesting - we go through so much. Know that I too have been through much of this, it's possible to cultivate resilience, and I would love to help you tend to your nervous system and find your footing.

About Me
My yoga story accidentally began as a 12 year old with the As Seen on TV 90’s fitness VHS tapes. One of them was called Yoga Zone and I fell in love. I loved how the poses felt, and I was intrigued by the fun hippie vibe. Being invited to notice small sensations and the breath were so eye-opening, but the stillness of Savasana made the biggest impact on me. It seemed magical. I did that practice every day after school for months, and revisited the tape for years.
I’m fortunate to have always had my foundation in yoga to lean on.
After about 25 years of home practice, I felt a nudge to deepen my understanding through yoga teacher training. The introvert in me hesitated, but my husband - ever supportive - encouraged me to go for it. Then the universe did its thing, a training was starting that same weekend, so I took it as a sign and registered.
Today I'm a certified Heart-Centered Yoga Teacher and Trauma-Informed Practitioner, I have many hours of continued education in somatic yoga and Nervous System support, I'm currently completing my Yoga Therapy certification, and have additional training in Gong and Sound Therapy.
I am Mom to 3 cute kids, two cats, and dog. I have entirely too many hobbies - currently they are gardening, cooking, interior decorating, reading, admiring cats, making fancy cakes, and finding lovely places to eat in Austin with my husband. I am also owner of my pet care company, The Mindful Pet. In past seasons of life before babies, I was a saltwater aquarium hobbiest and painter.
