"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers."
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Let’s start with the basics. I’m a 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist. I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people achieve better mental and emotional health. I have to say my greatest passion is helping people find the freedom to be their authentic selves, using an individualized, holistic mind-body approach. There are so many modalities I love to help folx achieve their goals!
I am a 7th Generation Reiki Master of the Usui Tradition. I am an intuitive healer and a reader of Tarot and Oracle cards. Check out all of the fun pages to learn more about these amazing techniques and how they can help you on your healing and life journey!
I have worked with people coping with a wide range of issues including sexual trauma, addiction, domestic violence, depression and anxiety, as well as with those seeking personal growth, general wellness and a deeper expression of their identity.
At the end of the day, I continue to work with folx on a spiritual, emotional and mental level. While yoga therapy can help with physical conditions even, I use my expertise in this area to work in the areas listed above.
I hold a master's degree in social work from Syracuse University. I am a licensed clinical therapist, yogi, and traveler. A lifelong New Yorker, I live in Syracuse with my husband and furkids.

How I Got Here, Where I'm Going
I first came to yoga specifically, in 2004 because I suffer from migraines and was told that yoga could help calm my mind. I began a home practice through the help of DVDs. I found that yoga was not always accessible in my particular area at the time. I fell in and out based on what was going on in my life and came back to it with fierce dedication in 2017 when the universe decided it was time for this passion to grow. And grow it did. Yoga and meditation have decreased my migraine pain immensely. I became a Yoga Instructor in 2019.
As a licensed clinical therapist, I frequently saw how yoga and yogic techniques assisted my clients in so many ways. Combining these two loves, I completed my foundational studies as a yoga therapist, working with clients and achieving yoga therapist status. I continued on and completed my work for my international certification. Full transparency - I will not hold the full International certification regardless of my ability to.
I’ve read tarot cards since I was a teenager and have always felt a connection to something larger than myself. It was through my love of yoga and my desire to deepen my connection to all things that I came back to tarot and decided to learn Reiki. I completed my Master Reiki certification with Joyce Appel in May of 2025.
