 I love how yoga is such a wonderful expression of mind, body and breath movement. Growing up with music and dance my whole life, I was so excited to discover yoga after college as another expression of movement. 

 The best decision was to enroll and graduate the 200-hour yoga teacher training with the Om Factory in May 2019. 

 Grew up in Orlando, Florida.  Graduated from UCF in 1995. 

Married my high school sweetheart in 1996 and we have 3 lovely children. Love to spend time with my family and friends off my mat.  

 I’ve always known the importance of exercise, but it wasn’t until I was at a mental health conference in 2011 that I experienced yoga. I work with people on their mindsets, many of which are rigid, stuck, painful, etc and realize these same things happen in our bodies and that combining therapy and yoga it leads to so much happiness, ease and balance that we all so desperately need and this lead me to get my RYT 200 in 2019. I enjoy teaching a vigorous practice as well as deep stretch. I look forward to sharing my love of yoga with others.      

  In 2011 I completed my 1st half marathon, my 1st half ironman, and recognized the importance of a good yoga practice. In 2018 I became a certified Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master. I am passionate about psychology and our mind body connection. I have love helping others with trauma, high stress, over stimulated nervous systems, and overall well being. I enjoy spending time with my partner Angelo and our little dog, Bruiser!

 I have been teaching Yoga in the Lake Norman area for the last 15 years.  I received my RYT200 from the Bodhi School of Yoga, here in Charlotte  for the training but based in New York. I also have my 500 hours.
