About Me:

I fell in love with mindful movement and Asian philosophy more than 20 years ago, and they have been an anchor and a gift while navigating life’s ups and downs. I was inspired to teach yoga while expecting my first baby. Experiencing the physical, mental, and emotional benefits during a period of great change inspired me to shift my teaching focus from English as a Second Language to Yoga & Meditation. My ideology has always centered around making these practices accessible for all bodies, making them welcoming, and allowing modifications for individual needs and preferences. My most recent passion is incorporating the ancient Chinese art of Qigong flow.

A deep love of music and the way it has the power to affect our emotions and mental states led me to explore Sound Healing, and it’s so rewarding to now be able to share sound meditation at studios, private spaces, and schools.

Through healing of the self, I’m called to help others find more peace, calm, and everyday joy in their lives through flow and meditation.

Moonstones & Monarch butterflies are symbols for my two daughters who are my inspiration and my greatest teachers in life.

Moonstone is the birthstone my oldest daughter & I share. It symbolizes new beginnings, inner growth, creativity, and love.

On the day we brought my youngest daughter home from the hospital, thousands of monarch butterflies flew over our house. They symbolize hope, transformation, and the endurance of the soul.

Why “Moonstone & Monarch”?
