About Me

As a young woman, I longed for a mentor and ally who would be a guide, and help me navigate my path. I like to say that I became what I needed, and in the process have gathered wisdom from a lifetime of  experience, and from many teachers and traditions. My eclectic spiritual path has been an inclusive synthesis of many wisdom traditions and practices as well as the sciences of energy and transformation, and I am so very grateful for it all. I love inspiring and empowering my students and clients to find their own path, fulfilling their potential and finding their own true north in this wild and beautiful life. It’s an amazing time to be alive, and I have faith in our human potential to meet the challenges that are before us, both personally and collectively. 

I have been teaching Meditation, Yoga and the Art of Personal Practice for over 34 years to students from all over the world, mentoring and training teachers and individual students. I was blessed by the Krishnamacharya lineage teachings of The American Vinyoga Institute and Gary Kraftsow, and it’s been my honor to share that tradition, among others. My decades of work in the healing arts as a health educator and bodyworker, counseling and working one-on-one with students and clients, as well as decades of practice and study, informs my work as a mentor and teacher. As an elder on the path, my goal with my students and clients is to help them understand and trust their own power, and support them in cultivating their own innate brilliance that they many share it in turn. It is my calling and my joy.
