What I Offer:
Yoga, Meditation, and Qi Gong
I teach what I know and love. Yoga Qi Gong, and meditation are my most treasured daily activities. They provide proven systems and tools to access and enhance your personal energy field, and everything in life comes back to Energy.
Yoga for Injuries Specialist
My life story is one of overcoming tremendous physical challenges. I can help anyone practice and train through a healing injury. I create a routine that honors your limitations while challenging your body to become even stronger than it was pre-injury.
Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Specialist
Although pregnancy is NOT an injury, in some ways, it involves similar skills. Due to the body's constantly shifting state, there are quite a few adjustments and modifications that must be honored throughout pregnancy. I practiced and trained throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum. After having my baby, I became a Birth Doula and had the honor of attending over 100 births, while helping hundreds more prepare for birth via birth coaching. I can help you during this precious and beautiful time in your life.
Schedule and Booking Info
I offer private yoga, one-on-one and in groups, teacher training and public workshops. I have over 25 years of experience with yoga, and have been formally teaching in public settings for over 18 years.
Birth Coaching
I don't believe in one, fixed birth experience as "the ideal". What I know and believe in is that every woman has a pain and emotional threshold, and that varies from person to person. I can help you at whatever level you are at. I can also help you move beyond the level you are at if you are interested in exploring other options.
Birth Prep Coaching helps you experience an EMPOWERED birth experience. Although I strongly recommend a birth doula* or a support person at your birth, this is not necessary. What is necessary is for YOU to put in the time, energy and passion toward thinking, planning and preparing for this life-changing experience. It is astounding that we are taught to plan for college, a vacation to an exotic location, and our wedding — plan for all of these with the utmost detail. But when it comes to birth - we simply leave it to our doctors. If you want to feel empowered, this is the worst thing you can do. You MUST prepare for this experience. I can help you.
*Please note: I am no longer on-call and I no longer attend in-person births.
Writing/Editing
My writing and editing services are booked out. Please feel free to check in with me if this is a passion project. I freelance as a music writer for LA Yoga Magazine. I am also the Managing Editor and a writer for a non-profit focused on Children and Health, Medical Choice and Preserving Rights.
Previous samples of my writing work focus on music, production, health and yoga.

What is a Birth Support Coach?
Create an EMPOWERED BIRTH EXPERIENCE.
I support every woman's right to plan for, envision, and prepare herself for her most ideal birth experience. I have supported over 100 families as an on-call, in-person Birth Doula in births ranging from scheduled Ceasarians, hospital births, and home births.
Please practice some form of prenatal yoga during your pregnancy. I am happy to offer this service for you, or to recommend a teacher in your area.
Please note: Birth Prep Coaching may be used in lieu of, or in combination with in-person, on-call Birth Support.
