Certified Perinatal Yoga Teacher / 200 hr Certified Bhakti Yoga Teacher / Trained Aerial Yoga Teacher / Trained Prison Yoga Project Teacher / Birth + Postpartum Doula / Childbirth Educator / Owner & Director of MamaBirth YOGA

With the birth of my first daughter, I was born into a mother.  This profound experience inspired my path of sharing yoga for the childbearing year with mothers.  I quickly became a birth activist and knew that one day I would be supporting women in the rite-of-passage of birth.  In addition to Prenatal + Postpartum Yoga,  I offer Postpartum Doula Support and occasional Birth Doula Support.  I deeply understand the incredible, sometimes challenging, yet joyful transition through birth and into motherhood.  I strive to provide a safe, nurturing and empowering space for women to connect with their heart, body and baby in the childbearing years.

I am a Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher through The Seattle Holistic Center, where I studied under the guidance of Colette Crawford.  I am sincerely grateful to have trained, apprenticed and taught with Camille Mulchi of MotherWise Yoga in Portland OR. I am forever grateful to my teachers Raghunath and Bobbie Marchand at Supersoul Yoga, who shared the wisdom of Bhakti Yoga in my 200 hr YTT, opening my heart to a devotional practice and taking my love of chanting to the next level! 

I am a mama to my sweet, strong, spirited girls and partner to my loving husband.  I have found my calling and teach from my heart with respect for the intuitive wisdom within every mama and baby.  I give thanks to and find inspiration in my teachers, the mamas I have the honor to share space with and my daughters.

As a teacher, I draw upon my experiences in pregnancy, birth, motherhood, personal yoga practice of 20 years, the grace of my teachers and wisdom of ancient yogic texts. I bring a sincere, very real and often humorous approach to my love of teaching, with a goal of making everyone feel welcome in the space I hold.
