I’m a yoga teacher, body worker, and Pilates instructor. My goal is to support others who want to deepen their understanding of how to cultivate their personal, health, and spiritual needs across time in a sustainable way by providing students and clients with non-invasive, trauma-sensitive movement and touch therapies, as well as historically and philosophically-informed spiritual teaching and development.
I’ve been teaching yoga for 12 years and practicing for longer. As a yoga teacher, I emphasize alignment-based movement, somatic meditation practice, and philosophically and historically-informed spiritual education in order to foster deep connections between body, mind, and heart. I love to work one-on-one, but also offer group classes, workshops, and teacher trainings.
I graduated from The Maui School of Therapeutic Massage school in 2016. I practiced deeper, more intense forms of massage until I had to shift the nature of my practice due to chronic pain and injury. Now, as a bodyworker I use CranioSacral therapy in combination with other techniques to provide trauma-sensitive treatment for those seeking less-invasive but effective body therapy.
I’d practiced mat Pilates off and on, but only discovered reformer and machine Pilates in 2024. I loved the intelligence of the practice and the therapeutic combination of mobilization and strengthening. I offer group classes and one-on-ones at Innerstellar Yoga and Pilates.
I don’t offer cures. I offer treatments and teachings that have served me well on my own path towards better health and acceptance. I work with what’s in front of me to create optimal results for my clients. I believe healing happens when there is laughter and genuine connection between people, a healthy relationship to time, and access to nature. I try to incorporate all of these elements into my work.
