Hi! Namaste!

I have a dramatic past - overeating my way to a painful 300 lbs as a kid, and then starving myself to a deadly 80 lbs as a young woman. (See pics of me on my journey, here). I'm passionate about loving and accepting the perfect imperfection of every body. I'm continuously mesmerized by the power of yoga to aid in everything from addictions to depression to difficult relationships.

Yoga, meditation, & many years of work have provided me with the ability to relinquish the cloud of shame and self-hate that I was constantly surrounded by. And all I want to do is aid others in finding their way to freedom.

I just completed a Master's Degree in Social Work in New York City. I'm grateful to be back in Washington DC where I am working as a Licensed Counselor in a Substance Abuse clinic, continuing to teach group yoga classes all over the DC area, and providing life-changing private sessions for clients wanting to  remember what it's like to trust, love and connect deeply with their bodies and their True Selves.



My Philosophy

CONNECTION IS THE CURE.

Authentic & honest connection with other people, with one's Self, with the Universal Energy or Love that is the essence of us all - connection is what heals. We cannot find freedom from pain & suffering while remaining closed off and alone and in our fearful minds.

My #1 Rule

IF YOU'RE NOT HAVING FUN,

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

I also treasure laughter, sarcasm, poking fun and the ability to self-deprecate more than anything else. So don't think I'm gonna be all New Age & touchy-feely on ya. We're gonna have a good time. Promise.
