Finding My Way
I’ve been passionate about health and healing since my twenties. In my thirties, I opened a Pilates studio, taught Kids Yoga and practiced Thai Yoga Massage. For three years I ran a small restaurant and created a line of plant-based foods called Holy Chow. In my forties, I earned a master’s and opened a private psychotherapy practice. After fifteen years of clinical work, I rededicated myself to healing movement (Essentrics).
In Jungian psychology, there is a term for those who help others based on their own experience of pain, called the “wounded healer.” It’s my story.
In my late 40’s, the folly of life caught up with me. Little aches became big pains, and I found myself diving deeper the body. I eventually closed my private practice to dedicate myself to teaching and learning what it takes to age well and ably.
In 2024, I earned the highest level of certification for Essentrics. There are less than 300 Level 4 instructors in the world, placing in me an elite class of fitness trainers. Specializing in the functional needs of the 40+ body, my goal is to make exercise fun, effective and informative.
What Lights Me Up
In addition to my clinical training as a therapist, I’m a certified plant-based chef and organic gardener. When I’m not teaching, chances are I’m out in the garden or walking around with my Canon Rebel.
