Originally from North Adams, MA I now live in Pownal, VT. I'm a graduate from Drury High School class of 2005. I played sports throughout high school and was Captain of the girls' ski team my senior year. I found my passion for yoga while studying at MCLA. It was the elective 'Yoga 101' class where I became hooked on the practice. The physical as well as mental strength I felt myself build while taking that class opened my eyes toward a new path of wellness. When the class ended, I came to Frog Lotus to continue my practice. I found the atmosphere and the teachers to be very inviting and encouraging as I grew mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Taking a semester off from college I moved to South Florida. While there it became all the more clear to me what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to pursue my own happiness which included a career that I would help others achieve their highest capabilities of health and happiness, all the while furthering my own self study. I returned home to Berkshire County and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology from MCLA in December 2009. I then went on to study Holistic Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I received my 200 hr YTT from Frog Lotus Yoga in August 2011 and certificate in Thai Yoga Massage in May 2011 from 'Triple Gem School of Thai Massage'. Both were accomplishments of a goal I had set for myself years ago. I continue on my path of health and happiness of which I believe yoga and body work are largely attributed.
When not practicing yoga or wellness counseling I enjoy the great outdoors; biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, etc. I feel these activities add to my personal strength and ability as a yoga instructor!
