Yoga therapy isn't what you think.
Yoga therapy is not about poses, flexibility, or breathing techniques, nor is it psychotherapy or nor a private yoga class. It’s so much deeper.
Yoga therapy is a comprehensive healthcare approach that sees you as a whole, interconnected system—not a collection of symptoms to manage.
It's the missing link in your healthcare team and wellness routine.

I look for root causes of suffering, not surface-level quick fixes.
Yoga therapy is its own distinct, highly specialized field and scope of practice that complements your existing medical interventions and wellness regimen.
While your doctor treats symptoms, your psychotherapist or counselor addresses thoughts, and your mindset coach addresses leadership,
A yoga therapist connects the dots:
• how your breathing affects your digestion
• why your sleep patterns mirror your emotional state
• how your least- and most- favorite seasons often reflect far deeper imbalances that can show up as weight gain, brain fog, and fatigue
• and yes, how your poop might tell you how well you’re digesting your food, stress, and daily lived experiences

What makes yoga therapy different:
I see patterns, not just problems. The 3pm energy crash? It may be connected to how you breathe in the morning. The digestive issues that flare during stress? They're often linked to nervous system states you learned decades ago.
I use science AND wisdom. With one foot in evidence-based research and the other in time-tested practices from yogic wisdom and Ayurvedic medicine, I bridge what Western science often misses or compartmentalizes.
I teach you to decode your body's language. Instead of silencing symptoms, I help you understand what they're trying to communicate—because your body is remarkably intelligent when you learn how to listen.
I work with YOUR unique constitution through a multidimensioanl, multisensory framework. Your individual makeup, history, and patterns determine what will actually help you heal. An imbalance in your physical, energetic, mental-emotional, intuitive, and spiritual health will affect the others. Your personalized program of care meets you exactly where you are, to help get you where you want to go.

In practice, this might look like:
Highly specific breathing techniques that regulate your particular nervous system pattern, so you can lead your next meeting with more ease
Movement practices designed for your body type and current needs that change with the season, to help you effortlessly adapt to change as your life changes
Lifestyle adjustments that support your natural rhythms instead of fighting them, which can result in more energy, creativity, and clarity
Practices that help you trust your body's wisdom again, so you can devote more time to the people and causes you care about

why this matters:
One of the greatest indicators for positive health outcomes is being seen, heard, and listened to as a human being. The professionals you hire to help you can either greatly support, or hinder, your healing.
I get it. You need a compassionate partner to help you slowly shift your awareness inward - especially if it feels unfamiliar, scary, and uncomfortable if you've spent much of your life achieving and looking outward.
I want you to become your own best advocate—not because you've added more to your wellness routine, but because you finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

imagine what might be possible
When we become active participants in our own healing, so much else in our lives can shift in profound ways.
Yoga therapy isn't about fixing what’s broken, or treating you as a patient who needs fixing. It's about coming home to who you've always been.
Frequently Asked Questions
Intake: Prior to your first session, you will complete an extensive intake with questions about your medical history, lifestyle, diet and digestion, hobbies and interests, and spiritual and religious affiliation, if any. You will also be asked to reflect on your goals. By design this is an exceptionally thorough process to ensure you get a fully personalized experience to support your success.
Welcome Session: During your welcome session, I may assess your posture, breathing, strength, range of motion, and will further discuss your intake. Based on this session, I will provide a short practice you can begin integrating into your daily life.
Program + Practice Session: You will receive your custom program based on the intake and welcome session, which will include a range of tools and techniques designed just for your specific needs, and for you to practice outside of our time together.
Followup + Check-in Sessions: we will reflect on how things are going for you, and adjust your practice as needed. These sessions are critical for accountability and adjusting your program if necessary.
Yoga is so much more than postures. It is a comprehensive system that also includes breathing, visualization, mediation, subtle energetic practices, mantra, chanting, philosophy and ethics, scripture, self-inquiry, and more. You can think of Yoga as an iceberg: postures may be what we only see on the outside, but the deeper practice for lasting transformation lays under the surface.
Your program may or may not include postures, depending on what you need. I've found the more inflexible you are - physically and mentally - the greater the possibility for transformation.
While there may be similarities and some overlap between Yoga therapy and a private yoga class, here is a simple way to describe both. One approach is not necessarily better than the other; it all depends on what you need:
Private Yoga:
• can offer tools and techniques for symptom relief
• adapts the person to the practice
• may offer individual or small group practices rooted in Yoga
Yoga therapy:
• seeks to understand root causes of suffering
• adapts the practice to the person
• offers a multidimensional lens to understand yourself, your patterns, and how you move through the world
• provides a personalized therapeutic program rooted in Yogic science, Ayurvedic medicine, western medicine
• applies a holistic framework and formal, methodical intake and assessment process
As well, Yoga therapists require significantly more training, expertise, and credentialing. At a bare minimum, certified Yoga therapists are required to have 1,000 training hours as a baseline, while registered yoga teachers require 200.
Absolutely! I work with a wide range of clients: those who have never practiced Yoga before, to highly experienced Yoga teachers and Yoga therapists, and everyone in between.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and I will meet you wherever you are on your journey.
My only requirement is your commitment to invest in your own healing through consistent practice. That’s it. While I can neither heal you nor give you a pill, I can support you in feeling better.
No. Yoga therapy is rooted in both modern western science, and a tradition that is more than 5,000 years old. At its core, Yoga is a universal practice designed to cultivate freedom from suffering, accessible to anyone regardless of beliefs or personal traditions.
While there is a relationship with Yoga as Hinduism evolved in India, many Yogic practices pre-date Hinduism's origin.
I work with clients from all backgrounds, including secular and non-religious to highly devout Catholics, and everyone in between. We can adjust based on your needs and interests.
I highly recommend meeting every 7-10 days to build momentum. If you want the additional support of more frequent sessions to help with accountability, you may prefer to meet twice weekly. Choose what works best for you.
I don't recommend spacing our sessions any more than 2 weeks at a time, if possible.
(* Most clients experience more immediate progress and lasting healing when we meet more regularly at first vs. once every few weeks)
I offer both virtual and in-person options. There are benefits to both, and you are free to mix and match as needed. Choose what works best for you.
Virtual Sessions:
✔︎ more scheduling flexibility
✔︎ available anywhere in the world
✔︎ save driving time
✔︎ as appropriate, sessions may also be recorded for to reference later
In-Person Sessions: Greenwood Village CO
✔︎ if necessary or appropriate, gentle hands-on support or assists
✔︎ additional guidance for using props
✔︎ human energetic connection often lost through a computer screen
While I do not currently take insurance, I do offer payment plans and occasionally offer equitable pricing models. I typically offer additional benefits for pay in full clients.
Your commitment to practicing on your own, outside of our sessions together, is a critical part of the process. I may also provide recordings and other resources to help you stay on track with your goals.
(Yoga therapy is not a one-time quick-fix, nor is it as simple as taking a pill. If you are committed to investing in your own healing, you can benefit significantly from our work together. I've seen incredible transformations. You can read more here.)
