History
My teaching & counseling emphasizes spiritual, emotional and physical integration. Each session is informed by my 20 years' experience & is unique, as I am sensitive to the spontaneous exchange between students and myself, and am responsive to what is needed in the moment in collaboration with a planned, creative and intelligent sequencing of postures. From my bodywork training, I have a deep understanding of body alignment and offer extensive hands-on adjustments. I bring emotional intelligence to my teaching that supports each individual to continue their healing in a compassionate way, and emphasize developing sensitivity to the energetic flow of life.
