My Journey

I fell in love with movement at the age of five, whether in my aunt’s dance studio or out in the natural world. From early on, movement became a portal to strength and solace during a challenging childhood. Water brought me peace and a sense of flow, while climbing trees and playing sports grounded me in joy and presence.

​

Movement has always been my medicine—an anchor through life’s most difficult seasons.

​

As a natural empath with a deep curiosity about the body and healing, I began my formal studies in 1998, earning an Associate’s Degree in Physical Therapy. At the time, I was raising my first child as a young single mother while navigating the profound grief of losing my own mother.  My path has been shaped by loss, resilience, and a lifelong devotion to embodied wellness.

​

After the birth of my second child in 2003, I discovered pilates, sparking a profound reconnection to my body—rooted in strength, breath, and integration. That experience led me deeper into holistic fitness and wellness, and over the years, I’ve pursued extensive study and certifications in pilates, yoga, Thai yoga bodywork, Reiki, and other fitness disciplines.

In 2014, I immersed myself in the world of somatic movement, exploring the wisdom of embryology, fascia, and natural, restorative movement. These ancient, whole-body systems transformed my understanding of sensory awareness, the nervous system, and my relationship with the body, the environment, and the living world around me.

​

Today, I live what I teach and teach what I live. My work is a unique weaving of personal experience, deep study, and a reverence for the body’s innate bio-intelligence. I’m passionate about helping others rediscover the power of embodied movement as a pathway to healing, empowerment, and longevity.

In our work together, I invite you to experience your body as a whole, self-healing, brilliantly adaptive organism. My decade of study in embryology, energy medicine, meridians, and fascia has given me a new language to help you sense your wholeness—in relationship with yourself, gravity, your environment, and one another.

I look forward to helping you rediscover playfulness, curiosity, and trust in your body—expanding its capabilities and finding greater ease and joy as you move through life."
