yoga & movement wellness education
Get relief from physical pain, anxiety, difficult emotions, & stress related issues.
I combine my professional experience as a licensed mental health counselor, yoga teacher, and muscle activation practitioner to support people in their journey to being pain-free, establishing a healthy mindset and daily habits, purging negative emotional energy, and cultivating strength, stability, and confidence in body, mind, and spirit.
Oh, and we have fun too! What’s healing without some humor and laughter?
yoga & move with purpose
Yes, yoga can make your butt and abs look better. If you want that, go to the gym or find a Power yoga class.
However, if you are looking for something MORE, then you are in the right place!
All of my classes and programs have PURPOSE and a targeted RESULT:
Got hip, knee, lower back, sciatica, shoulder and/or neck pain? Have former injuries or artificial parts and pieces that are easily triggered?
Have a highly anxious, very busy mind that you would like to get some peace and quiet from?
Struggling with bad habits, and can’t seem to make the “good ones” stick?
Feel emotionally heavy from, well, life stuffs?
Attend in-person or virtually!
work 1:1 with me
While I no longer offer clinical therapy sessions, I do support people with the following:
Learn who you REALLY are, not who you think you “should” be or what others expect from you.
I've found that many people experience stress and anxiety because they aren't living true to their purpose and they are so disconnected from their REAL Self. They pile too many things on their plate, half which they don't even want to do or are so misaligned to their values. Or are often “stuck” in job/career they hate, not really knowing what’s next. And pay more attention to the voice in their head versus what their soul is speaking. This is a 1:1 with me to get super clear on who you are, your life and work purpose, and how to restore a sense of fulfillment and inner-peace.
Develop a personal yoga sequence that is designed for your specific pain-relief goals.
We will move through a series of muscle activation exercises to determine areas of weakness, where your muscles are not firing properly, so that we can come up with a custom plan of movement to keep you strong, stable, and mobile.
Stuck in a cycle of bad habits and can’t seem to make the new ones stick? Let’s do some Habit Coaching!
It’s very common that we want to create a new habit - exercise daily, meditate more - and maybe we start out strong for like a week. But then we shortly fall back into the same ‘ol patterns. This is actually quite normal, there is nothing inherently wrong with you. But there is a science behind behavior change, and once you learn this, it makes it a shit-ton easier to create new habits and actually stick with them!
There are a few things that make life so much better:
When your mind and emotions stop bothering you about stuff.
When your body is free from pain.
When your habits support the kind of life you want versus keeping you stuck in unhelpful patterns.
Let’s chat to see if my classes or workshops are right for your community or organization.
There’s no commitment, pressure, or obligation.
Paying it Forward
I am a HUGE supporter of animal welfare so I donate a percentage of my proceeds to various organizations and to The Friends of Anne Arundel Animal Care & Control, my local animal shelter here in Annapolis (of which am a regular volunteer).
