BIO

 A cum laude graduate of Northeastern University, I have been a registered physical therapist for 34 years. I also hold an ACE Functional Training Specialist certification. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training through Boston Yoga School and my mediation training with the Namah Shivaya International School of Yoga. I have studied Restorative Yoga, completed Yin training and Yang training with The Summers School of Yoga, and hold a first degree Reiki certification. 

After experiencing repetitive foot injuries and energy level depletion with half-marathon distance running I turned to exploring yoga and meditation to restore my wellness, balance and vitality. Grateful for all that fitness, yoga and meditation have brought to my life I am excited about sharing it with others and integrating it with my physical therapy expertise.   After sustaining a hip fracture and surgery three years ago I can personally attest to the importance of staying physically fit and strong so that when life throws you a curve ball you can bounce back quickly and recover your strength, mobility and function!

Bringing to the table a broad knowledge base in anatomy and kinesiology I fully recognize that every body is structurally unique! My extensive clinical background includes experience in orthopedics, neurology, vestibular/balance deficits and chronic pain with a specialty in geriatrics. Believing that training can be adapted for all ages, fitness levels, body types and medical conditions I seek to provide an environment where each person is welcomed and met right where they are in the present moment. I strive to hold a space for others that is inclusive, adaptive and welcoming. My interest lies in cultivating well-being through the connection of strength training and movement, breath work and meditation. 

Strongly advocating that every person is their own healer my emphasis is on educating, equipping and empowering others to discover what resonates for them individually on the body/mind continuum. My passion is in facilitating and elevating others on their UNIQUE journey of wellness!
