Experience

I received my 200-Hour RYT from Woodbury Corepower Yoga & Spa in 2014. I served as a Studio Manager, Marketing Specialist, Teacher Trainer, and Lead Yoga Instructor for Corepower Yoga & Spa from April 20214 - June 2018. In 2017 I received certifications through Yoga For First Responders as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher and began working with Police, Fire, EMS, and Military.

My gaol was to teach my clients how to use yoga and mindfulness as a means to heal job related stress and trauma so that they can live a whole life in light of the adverse physical, psychological, and emotional effects of their job. I currently teach at a local studio called Healing Elements by Carpet Diem and enrolled in The Master's Institutes Foundational Yoga Therapy program under direct mentorship from Jeff Masters. I am also registered for The American Vinny Yoga Institute's two year yoga therapy which is schedule to begin the spring of 2024.

Beyond first responders and military, I have extensive experience working with demographics such as high school and college athlete's, LEGTQ+ youth, and incarcerated people, and business professionals.
