LYB Mindset Facilitator

About me: After benefiting from Yoga Therapy myself, I made it my mission to support others in a similar way. Becoming trained as a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist has been one of the highest points in my post-TBI journey. I am absolutely thrilled to share those resources and to support resilience and growth in others.

Why LYB: I was introduced to yoga following my own TBI experience. Seeing how movement therapies can deeply impact every aspect of our wellbeing ignited a passion in me. I am excited to share some of the skills and techniques that supported me to find safety and stability in my own body and life. I am passionate about the ways in which yoga can support Mental Health and post-traumatic resilience.

Superhero: My husband and son are the superheros in my life. They both continually demonstrate so much compassion, curiosity, resilience, and hope in their daily lives. The ability to see people as they are and offer honest, respectful, and patient acceptance are traits that I truly admire and want to emulate.
