My goal is to help people maintain pain-free functional movement. I believe that every person has the ability to improve their health and tap into the body's natural power to heal itself. Friends and family describe me as passionate! Health and wellness is an area that I continually find both interesting and awe-inspiring. The words of Ghandi, "Be the change you want to see in the world," motivate me to serve the earth, the water, the animals, and people. I have a degree in kinesiology and am working towards my master's degree. I have been teaching yoga since 2008 and have completed the training for RYT 200. I became a licensed massage therapist in 2018. I offer a variety of bodywork and fitness services at my studio, Yogatopia. I worked as a personal trainer for the Pullman Aquatic and Fitness center 2010-2018. I have also been a doula (labor and birth assistant) since 2010. I love dance and teach Zumba, belly-dance, and modern dance. I am a founding member of Effusio Modern dance company from Lewiston, ID. I was also a member of the University of Idaho's Ballroom dance team 2013-2014. My other hobbies include gardening, hiking, camping and horse-back riding. I like to write poetry, sing, play with instruments and make jewelry. Most of all I love learning new things!
