a little bit about me

Although a native of Oregon, and a lover of the rain and dreariness that only the Pacific Northwest can offer, I now make my home in the healing desert of the Southern Utah.

My introduction to yoga in 2012 helped my body find it's second home on my yoga mat. Traveling from coast to coast, completing various yoga teacher trainings has brought me to my current work as an adjunct professor of yoga at a local university. It is here that I happily spend most of my day in bare feet and stretchy clothes. Yes, it's literally a dream job and as magical as it sounds! I am also deepening my studies in energy work, more specifically Reiki and Somatic Intuitive Healing™.

Both yoga and energy work continue to be a part of my own healing process of coming home to myself. To heal can be translated as “to become whole again.” Through these practices, I am reminded that we are already whole and all parts of ourselves get to exist and belong.

As my teacher Matthew Sanfords says, “your body is the best home your mind will ever have.” So let's care for it. Let's stay home together.
