Yutori: (Japanese) Intentionally slowing down to simply be, breathe, listen and appreciate the beauty of nature and life. Creating space to relax, reflect and "human" rather than being busy, distracted and hurrying.  

My training began at The University of Complementary Medicine in Santa Monica where I was certified in both traditional Western Massage as well as Ayurvedic Bodywork.  

I received my Yoga Teacher Certification from The Yoga Lifestyle Center.  I completed a year long course on Medical Massage at the New Jersey Massage in Parsippany, where I also studied massage for clients with Breast Cancer and who've had a Mastectomy.

At the Sivananda Ashram I studied Thai Yoga Massage with master teacher Kam Thye Chow founder of the Lotus Palm School.

I completed the Penn Medicine course on Mindfulness which I believe has made me a better more focused and calm practitioner. 

I studied The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment: The Lamrim Chenmo with the Dalai Lama.
