My journey in yoga began in 1995 when, after years of disconnecting with my body, I realized that I could either continue down the path I was on or make a change. I made the decision to change and this brought me to my first yoga class.

From this first class, my relationship with yoga steadily grew. Yoga has brought me a connection with my body, mind and spirit in a way that nothing else ever has. Yoga has also given me the courage, love and compassion needed for my massage practice, being a mother to 3 young boys and to navigate through life’s many ups and downs.

Having been a massage therapist for more than 10 years, I have been on many journeys with individuals who are coming home to their bodies again. A desire to guide my clients and family further along their own path of healing and to share the love I have found with yoga brought me to Kriplau Center for Yoga and Health. There, I became certified through the 200-hour teacher training course.

My love and passion for yoga continues to grow as I see the impact it has not only had in my own life, but the lives of my students.
