Hi all. I graduated the very 1st 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training that Open Doors Yoga in Weymouth, MA ever held in 2005. I was raised by strong energetic teachers like Richard Lanza, Jene' Rossi, Sean Cornelison & Pat Iyer. I am so grateful I was initially raised from this perspective. It really pointed out that it doesn't matter if you can balance on your eardrums if you have no alignment in your soul. Since then I have gone on to aggressively study some of the energetic greats like Caroline Myss and Anodea Judith.

Prior to that my track was Social Work/Probation/Child Law, etc. until after almost a decade of working with Domestic Violence survivors and over 7 years working for the State of Massachusetts Social Worker- I developed ulcers. That was just one of a whole laundry list of side effects from STRESS. I had sadly realized that I can't trick my nervous system. Years of having no control and swimming in work that is never done made the stress outweigh the joy of continuing to do Social Work in that way.

I spent years teaching Yoga all over Massachusetts after I graduated. My teaching regular drop in Yoga classes evolved into Guest Teacher trainings, presentations, workshops, motivational speaking, creating and leading the Yoga certification programs since 2011. I am passionate about fundraising. I've worked hard to motivate people, raise awareness and generate momentum for several causes over the years. We need each other now more than ever. We must rebuild & INVEST in one another.

I consider Rolf Gates & Johnny Gillespie HUGE teaching influences of mine. Their delivery, their heartfelt words, wisdom and humor have consistently added depth, meaning and perspective to my life. I feel blessed to have received my 500 hour Advanced Yoga Certification under Rolf's tutelage & more CEU's than I can count with Johnny! In 2011, I began creating my own Advanced & Basic Yoga Certification Programs.
