Hi,

I am a Clinical Somatics Instructor, a certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, a physical therapy assistant, and a yoga and movement educator. I am passionate about helping people connect to their centers and build a strong and functional body to support them in their daily lives. I am a strong believer in movement as preventative medicine and aim to help people feel confident and foster resilience in their bodies as they age.

Decades of belly dancing, sitting at a potter’s wheel and 2 pregnancies left me with strong imbalances in my body, leading to chronic back, hip, and pelvic floor issues. My body was twisted and sore...the more I exercised, the more twisted and tight I became. It wasn’t until I started working with my body at the level of the nervous system that I was really able to make lasting changes away from imbalances and tension and into strength, integration, and freedom of movement. My body had some learning to do and re-educating my nervous system with somatics was my teacher.

I teach Move Well and Somatics classes and workshops online. I also work with clients one-on-one through Embodied Rehab, combining somatics and corrective exercises to help people uncover their movement blind spots, reduce their pain and tension, get stronger, and move more freely.

Thank you for being here.
