My journey began with yoga in 2005 in Olympia, Washington. After college, I completed a yoga teacher training and quickly fell in love with teaching. Not long after finishing the program, I was offered a position at a local studio. Since then, I’ve taught over a thousand yoga classes—ranging from state offices to university settings.

I’m passionate about helping people feel their best, and there’s something truly special about the energy of a group all working toward greater balance and well-being.

In 2007, some of my students encouraged me to host my first Yoga & Detox Retreat on Whidbey Island. It was such a powerful experience that I continued offering retreats for the next eleven years.

In 2010, I followed a longtime dream: moving to Hawaii and becoming a massage therapist. I graduated in 2011 and opened my own massage practice shortly after.

​Now based in Dillon, Colorado, I offer both massage therapy and yoga with the same intention that’s guided me from the start—to support healing, connection, and vitality in body and mind.
