hello

For me, my yoga practice didn't feel complete without an understanding of psyche and my understanding of psychology didn't feel complete without a relationship to my body. I began studying yoga while living in Costa Rica in 2009. I was living in the Monteverde Cloud Forest down the path from Rio Shanti, a quiet little yoga studio perched amongst the trees and wrapped in a peaceful river. It was so simple in the beginning: breath, presence, tears, mantra, stretching, warm hearts. The following year I moved to Escazu, a suburb of San Jose, CR, and found Kundalini yoga, Anusara yoga and Sat yoga. A melting pot of modalities, philosophies and communities. It was a potent place to steep in my new found awareness of yoga practice and education. 

​

In 2011, I did my first 200hr teacher training in Honduras with Paula Tursi. Later that year, I moved to Teton Valley, Idaho where I embraced further study and devotion to the path of Anusara yoga. I completed an additional 500hrs of yoga teacher training with Sundari, a long-time devotee of the Anusara method and yoga therapeutics. With Sundari's support, I owned and operated Yoga off Little, a community yoga studio in Driggs, ID, for 5 years.

​

In 2018, I found archetypal astrology through my sacred medicine community in California. Depth-oriented astrology offered me a deeper alignment with my spiritual calling. I studied for several years under the guidance of Jessica DiRuzza at Trust Psyche School of Astrology and Depth Psychology. I quickly began to integrate my love for both yoga and astrology. On the mat, I started to experience the essence and energy of the planetary archetypes in my yoga practice. An authentic experience of astrology became alive and real because I could feel it in my body and see and hear it in my teaching. Thus, archetypal yoga was born. More recently, I incorporated astrological and tarot study with Matthew Stelzner. This new chapter has up-leveled my skywatching and appreciation for the art of somatic and sacred ritual.

 

With a masters degree in marriage and family therapy, my holistic approach is attachment-based, trauma informed and moves at a therapeutic pace. I welcome all beings of diverse backgrounds, ability, gender, and ethnicity. I work with people 1:1 over Zoom and you can find me for local events on Cape Cod.
