I see you. I am here. I have always carried a deep love for guiding others towards self-appreciation, compassion & empowerment. I was a very shy and sensitive child and at the age of 3 my mom signed me up for dance. I took to it immediately & eventually found my way to Dance Expression where I became an active member of the Dance Company. The foundation was set, to trust and be guided by my own body and inner wisdom. In 2002, I earned my BA in Sociology from TCNJ & went through the Alternate Route Program for Elementary Education. This led me to become the Director of Project Self-Sufficiency’s Little Sprouts Early Learning Center where I worked for 3 years. I later returned to initiate a children’s yoga and mindfulness program.
I was introduced to yoga in high school but it wasn’t till my mid-twenties that I devoted to make it my way of living. In 2015, I was drawn to deepen my understanding of yoga and undertook my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Ha-Tha Yoga Method. My teachers and greatest mentors Denise Kay and Delia Quigley inspired me to listen deeply and always be curious. I continue to deepen my practice and approach yoga as a way of living and BE-ING. My intention is to hold space for others to connect with nature and self.
I live in beautiful Warren County, New Jersey with my three incredible children and wonderfully supportive partner Bill Amos.
