Author, Yoga Instructor, Teacher, Wellness and Mindfulness Coach…

In addition to being Reiki practicioner and author, I am also an elementary school teacher with 25 years of teaching experience, as well as a certified Yoga Alliance RYT200 Yoga Instructor.  I am devoted to helping young children develop social-emotional skills to handle life’s challenges through yoga and mindfulness in the classroom.  I created a framework in social-emotional learning and yoga for the classroom teacher, called The Heart Centered Classroom. I bring wellness to schools by sharing this foundation for wellness with other educators through my workshops.  It is a philosophy and framework any classroom teacher can use in the classroom on how to create a heart-centered learning environment.

Inspired by my love of nature, I have authored a children’s book called Animal Magic.: A Yoga Tale of Love and Unity. Animal Magic is my first children’s book. Animal Magic is an additional framework in which teachers and children can draw upon the themes from the natural world to inspire wellness. 

In my holistic healing practice, called Sacred Earth, blending yoga practices with Ayurveda, an ancient approach to health that recognizes that the elements within the body need to be balanced in order to maintain optimal well being. Nutrition and lifestyle are the key components in maintaining an Ayurvedic approach to wellness. Ayurveda corrects imbalances within the body and helps a person align with their natural physiology. I understand that we are part of the natural world and not separate from it.

After going through a kundalini light body activation many years ago, I have acquired much wisdom and knowledge through my own personal experiences with the spiritual realms as well as my own studies in energy healing, crystal healing, astrological alignments, medicine wheel teachings, and sacred ceremonies. I have embarked on pilgrimages to sacred locations as part of my own healing journey and to connect with the land of these locations.

I also teach after school yoga club at my elementary school and children’s yoga classes in my local community.
