    WORK EXPERIENCE

  • Yoga Teacher: 2001- to present
  • Energy Healing/ Reiki : 2007 to Present
  • I've also worked in counseling/social services, retail, waiting tables, in the library and Starbucks (as an adolescent) and probably have had a few other things in there too....

  • LIFE EDUCATION

    I've always been called to both create and to "heal"- whether through imagery, smiling at a stranger in teaching yoga, or in sharing hands on work.

    As an adolescent, I began to inquire into the legitimacy of "reality" as it was presented to me, and sent myself to healers of all ilks, including psychotherapists, mind body therapists, and reiki practitioners. I commenced a daily practice of yoga in 2000 , and from 2004- 2006 was blessed to both practice Ashtanga yoga daily with Nancy Gilgoff. Maui also led me to a shaman who would first help me in my own healing, and then be a tremendous spiritual teacher. Life has enabled me to have incredible experiences, from living in NY, Boston, and Hawaii, to meeting several truly incredible , spiritual, teachers/healers and having the privilege to work with, and learn from them.
