I do this by creating one-on-one programs that utilize yoga therapy and corrective exercises. I want to build from the ground up, which is why my motto is “Stronger Foundations, Better Results.”

I’m driven by my own traumatic injury to be a Post Rehabilitation Specialist and Yoga Therapist

My journey to becoming a Post Rehabilitation Specialist and Yoga Therapist began after a serious car accident that left me with chronic pain, PTSD, and depression. Following the accident, my injuries caused muscle and postural imbalances, which led to other injuries and pain. This experience gave me the opportunity to tune into my body and pushed me to pursue alternative paths to healing. From that point on, my eyes were opened to the importance of building strength and flexibility through conscious attention to human anatomy.

After I became certified as a personal trainer and started to notice that every client faced unique physical challenges. This is why I wanted to understand more about those challenges from a physiological level, so I enrolled in a Corrective Exercise program. Sometime after that, I began to explore Yoga, which I thought of as an important supplement to optimal wellness. I enjoyed the emphasis on connecting the mind with the body and wanted to incorporate this into my program.

Today, I utilize every facet of my personal and professional experience to provide responsible one-on-one training. I’ve helped clients achieve life-changing results and I’m so grateful to be able to make a difference.
