About Me: “I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki practitioner, yoga, meditation, and sound bath instructor with a passionate interest in alternative health and wellness. I find the magnificence of the human body/consciousness and its ability to adapt to the fluctuations of life awe-inspiring. Helping people slow down and find peace, calm, and reduced or relieved pain amidst all of the stresses (both physical and mental) and turbulence life can encompass brings me great joy.
Massage and yoga are medicine, accessible to all of us, no matter the circumstance. During my work with others and preforming services I hold the utmost respect and integrity towards each person as a unique individual with their own story, gifts, challenges, wants, and needs.
On a personal note I certainly love nature, animals, and exploring all things outdoors. Furthermore, I believe this Earth is a marvel! I love subtle energies and the many fields of study that relate to them, all things science, consciousness exploration, creative arts, and creative people.
Simply here to share the tools I’ve gained along the path in order to help clients and students feel more connected to their minds, bodies, and spirits so that they can continue to aspire to enjoy life to the fullest in this homely heart of incarnation — Floating through the pilgrimage of existence.
See you on the table or the mat! “
Be Here Now Candlelit Yoga Class
- Meaning: Candlelit slow flow and crystal bowl meditation
- Level: All levels Slow Flow
- Description: In this Sadhana, practice, we will explore liberating expressions of mind, body, and breath within the ambiance of candle light. This fully guided class specifically helps link the natural rhythms of the breath to the movements of the body helping the student relax, feel grounded, increase concentration, engage with their surroundings, and stay present in the now. The slow flow helps build both mental and physical strength and flexibility simultaneously in a non aggressive way. Here one begins to explore more deeply how qualities of the mind are affected by changes in the body, cultivating steadiness and ease while exploring how to expand and refine the breath. In this hatha, restorative influenced class we will give the body time to open up, flow through varying sequences of movement, and have ample time to relax and let go of the day.
- What can yogis expect: Some weeks we bring in more movement into the body. Other weeks are a complete floor practice. Every week we flow slow and end with a 10-15 minute crystal bowl meditation.
- Who is it perfect for: Accessible to the beginner student or long time yogi alike. This class is for everyone on the journey to self knowing.

Sleepy Pigeon Yoga Class
- Meaning: Yin/Restorative-inspired yoga
- Level: All levels
- Description: Experience stability in poses held for several breaths to several minutes. These longer holds offer time for students to simultaneously enter a meditative space and facilitate slow and safe release of connective (fascia) tissues. With a focus on internal awareness, cultivate a still mind and soothe the tissues of the body, improve joint mobility, develop flexibility, significantly reduce stress and anxiety, rejuvenate and restore to better adapt to the changes and challenges of every day life.
- What can yogis expect: Together we move through long slow holds letting it all settle in savasana before ending in a fully guided 10-15 minute yoga nidra relaxation meditation. Yoga nidra (yogic sleep) meditation helps ease the body towards release and surrender found in the sleep state while keeping the mind awake and aware to explore internal consciousness. Leave feeling balanced and glowing from the inside out.

Myofascial Release Therapy
MFR is a safe and undeniably very effective hans-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure (long slow holds) into Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain, continues aches, accumulated tension/stress, and restore motion. This essential “time element” has particularly to do with viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: otherwise a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow fascia to elongate. Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed hands-on directly on skin without oils or creams. This enables accurate detection of fascial restrictions enabling the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
