Thank you for being here, and for being you.

I hold so much gratitude for the mentors, teachers, colleagues, clients, friends, family and loved ones that I share relationships with. Every movement instructor, meditation facilitator, coach and energy worker whose practice I have experienced has informed and inspired the way I teach and facilitate today. I am grateful for the people who have shown up to my classes as students, and the clients who have engaged my services–each of you has been a teacher to me too. Peers and colleagues have also been deeply influential on my practice and being-ness. Thank you. Additionally, I hold so much gratitude for my benevolent ancestors, Mother Earth and all other supportive beings. The way that I show up in the world, and the work that I do, is shaped by my experiences and the people who have invested in relating with me. Thank you to all of you, including those who are not formally named here.

Below, many of my teachers are named alongside their formal certifying organizations and courses. Experiences outside of the context of organized educational & certifying institutions have equally, if not more deeply, informed my practices and my being. There are a number of people who have been immensely influential and supportive of me, both personally and professionally. These relationships have gifted me with experiences that deeply inform how I show up in the world and serve. It is with great gratitude, I share their names in no particular order below:
