I work with clients who crave a holistic approach to create abundant energy and vitality in order to live life more fully. I teach simple habits that bring the body, heart, and mind into a vibrant state of flow. I believe we must be deeply nourished, healthy, and energized in order to do our big work in the world.

​

Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga, it recognizes that human beings are so much more than their physical bodies with layers of emotions and intuition. Ayurveda literally means "Life Knowledge". Therefore, to achieve balance, you must have complete knowledge of your life. It is based on the belief that health can be achieved only through a delicate balance among the mind, body, and spirit. Although you may not be spiritual per se, the foods you eat and the way you lead your life affect you on a spiritual level or energetic level every day. Developing an Ayurvedic practice helps you recognize the interconnectivity.

​

An Ayurvedic lifestyle is achieved through practicing self-care routines, moderation, and learning to tune in to the natural rhythms of the doshas (your mind-body energies) and agni (your digestive fire). By applying the deep wisdom of Ayurveda, I help you find balance and create harmony so you can experience a radiant life.

​

As a certified yoga instructor, I teach private sessions. My personal teaching style leans more to Yin style yoga with a strong emphasis on the chakra system and balancing energy within the mind-body. 

​

Yogic Philosophy You might be familiar with the many different styles of yoga and yoga asanas (the physical poses), but that is just one aspect of yoga. Yoga encompasses an eightfold path. If you are interested in a deeper understanding of yogic philosophy let me guide and support you on your yoga journey.

​

Restorative Yoga will help you relax completely which will boost your immune system. It is a great stress reliever for challenging times and for those who suffer from chronic fatigue or illnesses.

​

It is designed to provide support and help the body relax during asana practice. This is often referred to as active relaxation. The poses also move the spinal column in all directions which goes along the ancient principle of physical yoga - the belief that a healthy spine promotes well-being.

​

Restorative yoga uses props, such as blankets, straps, pillows, blocks, bolsters, walls, stools, chairs, mats, to support the body, which allows you to hold the poses longer. The more support your body is given, the more peaceful and restful you will be during and after your yoga practice. As we set up and begin a regular restorative practice you will be able to drop into a place of great contentment.

Through meditation, I teach individuals to focus their attention and quiet their minds. This usually involves becoming mindful of thoughts, feelings, and sensations while observing them in a nonjudgmental manner. The practice of meditation can change how we relate to the flow of our emotions and thoughts. As our minds become tranquil, many aspects of our lives become clear.

​

Essentially meditation is a method of acquiring access to our own inner wisdom, achieving clarity, and developing compassion with the possibility of resolving inner challenges during the process. Wisdom includes being present in the moment and the way to wisdom is to understand ourselves as human beings.

​

Meditation is about being fully present in the mind and body. Meditation may be practiced in many ways and with many methods and as a meditation coach, I'm here to guide you through the process.

Meditation Techniques

​

Deep Breathing This method is simple because breathing is a natural function. It focuses attention on the breath. Inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply. 

​

Mindfulness Meditation focuses on awareness of the breath, body, mind, and the environment, helping the individuals become more aware of what is happening in the moment. Mindfulness meditation is about being unconditionally present with whatever is happening. Mindfulness is awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a sustained and particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and in a non-judgmental way.

 

Walking Meditation Using walking as a meditative practice is an efficient and healthy way to promote relaxation and exercise. This technique can be used almost anywhere. A few examples are in your neighborhood, in a park, on the beach, and even in a mall. 

​

Tapping Meditation Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), is a powerful holistic healing method that has proven to effectively resolve a range of issues. It is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Learning to tap on these meridian endpoints, while verbally or mentally addressing the root cause of distress, sends a calming signal from the body to the brain, allowing you to feel calm and in control.
