Whatever you're feeling, I’m here to help you take the next step with confidence.
Wellness Support
I am a Yoga and Pilates Instructor and Teacher Trainer with over two decades of experience. What started as an exploration of the mind-body-spirit connection evolved into an expertise in functional anatomy.
Previous workshops include:
Yoga and Ayurveda for Anxiety
Pilates for Stability and Mobility
Simple Techniques for Injury Rehab
Massage Ball Skills for Self-Care
Energy Centers and Sound Healing
As a result of my writing experience, I now offer workshops that highlight meditation as a prompt for memoir exploration.
Yoga of 12 Step Recovery
In celebration of my book launch, I’ve become certified in the Yoga of 12 Step Recovery founded by Nikki Myers. As a Peer Support Specialist, I facilitate discussion groups and emphasize self-care in a donation-based format.
Y12SR is a holistic, community-based program combining cognitive 12-step recovery tools with somatic yoga practices to address the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of addiction and those affected by addiction.
Core Principles of Y12SR
Embodied Recovery: Y12SR believes that "the issues live in the tissues," using yoga to move beyond cognitive understanding and physically process trauma and addiction.
Integrated Model: The program merges the 12-step cognitive model with yoga's somatic (body-based) practices to treat the whole person.
Trauma-Informed & Safe: Meetings are drop-in, donation-based, and focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment.
Nervous System Regulation: The combination of yoga, breathing (pranayama), and meditation helps practitioners manage stress, reduce "triggers," and regulate their nervous systems.
Spiritual Foundation: It emphasizes connecting with a "higher power" or "something greater than ourselves" to achieve balance.
