My Philosophy
Everyone has the right to be happy and healthy. My mission is to bring joy into people’s lives through physical movement, mind/body practices and the written word.  I value health, wellness, integrity, family and joy. I believe the tools we learn on our mats carry over
into life and help us become better people – more patient, more kind, more loving, more joyous and more receptive to others differences, and this is why I teach. Plant the seeds of health and wellness and eventually something blooms. Personally, hatha
yoga (physical yoga) has transformed my life, and I hope to
make the world a little brighter by teaching it.

The Writer
I am a freelance writer based in Baltimore, Maryland specializing in copywriting, e-newsletters, freelance magazine writing as well as a columnist. I specialize in health, yoga, fitness and family issues. My career, before kids, was as a television news reporter for KNHL News 8 in Honolulu. My columns, “Ménage,” (MidWeek) and “Diaries from the Real World,” (The Oahu Island News) can still be read online. See the links on The Writer page.  My work has appeared in STYLE Baltimore, and I am a regular contributor for Bare-Essentials Australia Magazine.

Yoga and Pilates
I work with a wide-range of students, including: young children, athletes and personal trainers, working moms, stay-at-home moms, grandparents, pre-and post-operative patients, prenatal and
post-natal women, people with handicaps or disorders such as: scoliosis, arthritis and multiple sclerosis.  Whether your goal is to become pain-free, build muscle, lose weight, improve posture, or just feel good - I will help you achieve your goals.  I take a holistic approach to teaching and wellness and encourage students to be patient. We’re looking for a lifelong transformation– not a quick fix.
