My Bio, Certifications & Licences

I started meditating as a teenager while living in Japan, drawn by the peace I felt in the silence while visiting ancient temples and also looking for peace in my own anxious busy mind. I added yoga to my meditation practice in 2002, completing a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Senior Anusara Teachers Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny in 2008.

 

I continue to study Buddhist meditation in the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Knowing that our own bodies are sometimes the best teachers of wisdom, I am completing my 800 hr Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioner certification.

 

Today my own commitment to wholeness and joy finds happy expression as Studio Manager at The Awake Collective, where I also offer yoga and meditation instruction, Reiki treatments, and discount yoga therapy sessions while I complete my PRYT certification.

From Me

"I am committed to honoring all of life equally and holding the space that all our experiences, emotions, feelings, thoughts, bodies, and desires are perfect. We are perfect just the way we are, each with great gifts to offer the world around us; each with great responsibility to bring our consciousness forward for the health of the earth, for sustainable relationships/communities, and for the ecstatic expression of our souls."
