My Story

I have spent three decades dedicated to studying and teaching movement, breathwork and mindfulness-based methodologies to support empowered well-being and longevity. Naturally curious and always willing to explore, I’ve seen how these practices work to develop self-understanding and deep body aliveness.

 

I have a Master of Arts in Dance and Dance Education from New York University. Through years of study and practice, I have become a Pilates Method master teacher, Eric Franklin Method certified educator, and licensed massage therapist. I co-founded Wellspring Studio in 2000 and Harmony Pilates and Gyrotonic in 2008, raising the standard for Pilates teacher training and Pilates-based movement classes while creating a vibrant community of practitioners and movement enthusiasts. 

 

In 2021, I graduated from the Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanim and Energy Medicine and received initiation by elders of the Q’ero Nation as a Pampomesiak (Earth Keeper) in their living tradition of indigenous healing wisdom. This part of my learning journey has taught me how to become a healer in the most humble and subtle ways by, in essence, helping others heal themselves.
