I began my yoga journey seeking to alleviate physical challenges that had limited my ability to live an active life. I quickly experienced the physical benefits I had been looking for, but hadn’t expected the sense of balance, clarity, and intentionality that my practice provided. I found that life became more easeful, and I was experiencing more joy in my day-to-day activities. While I couldn’t quite put words to why or how that was, I knew that my yoga practice had given me something magical and I wanted to share that with others. In 2021, I completed the RYT 200-hour SWEAT Self-Discovery Yoga Teacher Training and began my journey as yoga teacher.

In my life off the mat, my true purpose and greatest joy is raising two amazing kids, Ayden and Ainsley, with my husband Derek. Our family is in a busy season in which life is full, between our own work responsibilities and our kids’ school and extracurricular activities. It is in the moments in between, when we find time to make memories together as a family, that I find the most joy. We love getting outside to hike, bike, and explore; do movie nights; and take our annual vacation with family and friends at Lake Winnipesaukee.

I am passionate about inspiring kindness and compassion for oneself and others, and grateful for the opportunity to do that through yoga. When you practice with me, I hope to create a space in which you feel supported in being present, focusing on honoring and caring for yourself, and getting curious about how your time on your mat allows you to show up as your best self in all aspects of your life.
