I first discovered yoga in 2003 during a tumultuous time in my life, and quickly found the practice to be deeply healing—unlike anything I had experienced before. When I went to college, I explored as many styles as I could, with Ashtanga yoga resonating most strongly at the time. After years of dedicated practice, I began teaching in 2010.

In 2014, I became the first full-time yoga teacher at Womack Army Medical Center’s Intrepid Spirit Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where I taught yoga and mindfulness practices to active duty soldiers as part of the Pain Management and Traumatic Brain Injury Clinics. This experience shaped my understanding of yoga as both a personal practice and a profound tool for healing. My curiosity for embodied well-being later inspired me to attend massage school in 2018, deepening my knowledge of somatic approaches to health and balance.

My teaching draws from multiple lineages, with a foundation in the dynamic sequencing of Ashtanga and the safe alignment principles of Iyengar. My intention as a teacher is to create classes that inspire self-awareness, foster a sense of empowerment, and nurture connection—to ourselves, to others, and to the world we live in.

Beyond teaching, I love spending time with my daughter and partner, hiking, baking, and slowly renovating our 100-year-old home.
