Movement

As 500-hour yoga teacher registered with the Yoga Alliance, I’ve taught over 1,100 yoga classes to students in gyms, yoga studios, spas, outdoors, and in counseling settings.

The term “yoga” can be uninentionally harmful due to a yoga business world that so often perpetuates stereotypes around being flexible, skinny, and beautiful. Yoga is not about the outer expression of poses, but a deep inner alignment. My own journey into this embodiment of an inner awareness has changed my life.

Much of my training has been how to use yoga to help people deal with trauma or complex emotional issues like grief. I love, love, love to help people come into a deeper relationship with their bodies, especially after dealing with trauma or grief. I do a lot of embodiment coaching with people. I take a warm, friendly approach and believe that “yoga” is such a deeper concept than Instgrammable poses, and the inner awareness you can gain through intentional movement is more important than anything.

Embodiment can be so powerfully healing when dealing with trauma, grief, body hatred, and all of the things that come along with modern life. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in the knowledge of how deeply trauma impacts the body, I believe that connecting to your body and really having a relationship with your body can be powerfully healing. However, it can also be scary and really hard to figure out how to do so in a way that feels safe.

I do private embodiment coaching (not therapy), and I also teach private and public yoga classes. But I also do incorporate movement and embodiment work in a trauma-informed way into my counseling services, if a client wishes.
