I believe in the quiet power of slowing down…

Through Therapeutic Yin Yoga and complementary practices, I help women feel grounded, nourished, and gently supported as they move through full, often demanding lives.

Yin is more than a physical practice. It invites a different way of being.

It offers a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your body while gently guiding you inward, away from the constant doing of everyday life.

How I found Yin…

My path into this work wasn’t linear. For much of my adult life, my approach to movement was fast-paced, mainly centered around running, strength training, and (teaching) group fitness classes.

Then during pregnancy, a back injury put me on bed rest for a few days and forced me to pause.

Out of necessity, I stepped away from my regular exercise routines, joined a pre-natal yoga group at my local studio, and began to explore softer, meditative styles of yoga.

After the birth of my son and recovering from an emergency C-section, I tried my first Gentle Yin class, and something clicked.

After so many years of go-go-go movement, this felt entirely different. This was not something to push through or perform, but something to receive.

Yin Yoga became my weekly ritual. For nearly five years, I returned to that gentle Monday night class again and again. It became a steady, grounding presence through a season of life that held both joy and challenge. When the class shifted online during COVID, I continued showing up to practice every Monday night.

Over time, I had a quiet knowing that when I returned to teaching movement, this was how I wanted to support women.

Because what I experienced in my own body and life, I now see in so many others:

Bodies that feel different than they used to and are asking for something gentler.

Lives that feel full, fast, and demanding.

A quiet desire to slow down, soften, and reconnect… but not always knowing where to begin.

How this became my work…

What began as a personal Yin practice eventually grew into teaching.

Though I had spent nearly two decades leading fitness classes, Yin showed me a different way to support women and re-energized me as a teacher.

I completed my 200-hour teacher training in Hatha Yoga, followed by specialized training in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Mindfulness, and Yoga Nidra.

I began teaching Yin in the very studio where my own journey had taken root. A full-circle moment I’ll always carry with me.

In 2023, I opened my online studio, and Pressing Pause — my signature 6-week live, online Yin Yoga program for women — was born.

Since then, my work has expanded to include seasonal classes, workshops, private sessions, and guest teaching at retreats.

My intention…

Wherever we meet, my intention is the same:

To create a gentle, supportive space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect.
