I earned my first yoga teaching certification through Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, MA in 2015, around the same time that I had begun my graduate studies towards a Master in Social Work degree at Boston University. I have always had a passion for helping others and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to empowering others to live more peaceful lives, based on my own personal experiences and values.

In particular, I love connecting with children and those in the perinatal period. Throughout my work with all clients, I strive to help others feel seen, understood and empowered.

Since completing my initial yoga teacher training, I have also completed an advanced 500 hour yoga teacher training through Universal Power Yoga in 2018 and have taken many specialized certification classes since then, including Yin Yoga and Meditation, SPA Yoga®, Sensory-Enhanced, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Mindfulness-based Yoga for Learning Environments (SMYLE™), and Breathe for Change’s Mindfulness, SEL and Yoga Teacher Training. 

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, usually by exploring nature together or cooking and enjoying good food. I value a balance between softness and strength, effort and ease- on and off the yoga mat.
