About Me
After my own personal health and wellness revelation in 2011, I dedicated my efforts into gathering a full toolbox of wellness practices to offer others. I became a Reiki Practitioner, completed a 200-Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica with Marianne Wells, and became a licensed Zumba® Fitness Instructor in 2011. Since then I have taken numerous workshops and trainings (Restorative, Prenatal, Buti, etc.) to add to my knowledge and skill set in addition to completing a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Vinyasa with Coral Brown in 2018.
I also work as a Reflexologist, CranioSacral Therapy Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner. Additionally, I received my Master's Degree in Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counseling (currently MHC-A) and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Creative and Expressive Arts from Salve Regina University in May of 2022. I hope to integrate holistic mental health counseling, yoga, body work, energy work, and the multi-modal creative and expressive arts as a way to offer my students and clients an expanded and holistic approach to wellness.
