it's lovely to meet you
I teach self-led women how to reclaim their health, time, and peace of mind.
I offer simple, practical, concierge wellbeing programs rooted in Yogic science, Ayurvedic science, and evidence-based western science, and which easily integrate into daily life.
I also do things differently...
not your average practitioner
As a trauma-sensitive Yoga therapist, meditation teacher, Fulbright scholar, professionally-trained historian and wellness practitioner, I have all the education this and in-depth training that. (Read more about my training and credentials here.)
Yet, my sincerity and lived experiences are my greatest assets to support you.
I've struggled with obesity and disordered eating, anxiety and depression, digestive challenges, migraine and vertigo, and I live with a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition.
At one point I was taking 13 different medications prescribed by multiple teams of medical providers, none of whom coordinated my care.
It was exhausting trying to piece everything together myself.
I know what it feels like to be treated like a patient whose broken parts need fixing, rather than a whole person to help heal.
SO I BECAME MY OWN ADVOCATE.
As a kid, hearing a vacuum cleaner or a fork fall on the floor was excruciating and would send me into a panic. It would often take hours to recover. Yes, hours.

• Now, I'm able to put myself and my work as a textile artist in front of 50,000+ people several times a year at 4-day national art shows.
• I've traveled around the world, and led high schoolers on field trips through other countries.
• I learned how to inhabit a body (and world) that felt awkward and unfamiliar after my healthy 80-pound weight loss - solely through lifestyle changes and caring for the relationship with myself.
I can go on.
I've reconnected the parts of myself I abandoned, discarded, and rejected - so I can go after my dreams, however wild and unrealistic they seemed.
I made. it. happen.
...so why would this matter to you?
Because I know what it takes to make small, daily, meaningful changes that can literally change your life. When we feel grounded and supported, we can deepen unshakeable self-trust in ourselves to go after our dreams.
What else is more important?
My sacred work in the world is to know my own suffering, so I can teach you how to transform yours.
my approach
My unconventional approach is trauma-sensitive, contemplative, and inclusive for people with diverse bodies, abilities, and backgrounds.
Balancing ancient lifestyle wisdom with evidence-based practices rooted in modern western science, my offerings are an ideal complement to optimize your existing medical care - to help you get to where you want to go.
While I specialize in crafting personalized 1:1 and small group programs for women navigating life transitions, my interests and training include a wide range of populations and challenges.
My background as a textile artist teaches me some of the most unexpected and profound truths about healing: the rough, scratchy threads in our story aren't flaws to be hidden. They're often what give our life its unique texture and strength.
As a yoga therapist, I help you weave all of your experiences—including the challenging ones—into a life where stress feels manageable, your purpose becomes clear, and you wake up feeling genuinely at home in your own skin.
