Studio Director at Sukha Somatics

Background & Personal Approach

I’m the Studio Director for Sukha Somatics and the Yoga Therapist at Inpatient Addiction Recovery Centers 5 Door and Tellurian. In my 1:1 yoga therapy practice I primarily work with clients navigating substance use addiction recovery, trauma, neurodivergent challenges, and chronic pain, including conditions like fibromyalgia and hypermobility syndromes (HSD/EDS).

My teaching is rooted in a blended background—drawing from lived experience, years of professional training in yoga therapy and somatics, my previous career in molecular biology, and a deep understanding of the body-mind connection. I integrates evidence-based practices, ancient wisdom, and a deep respect for each person’s unique needs. Expect some silliness from time to time, and don’t be surprised if the image of my dogs find their way into visualization meditations or yoga philosophy analogies.

I’ve always been captivated by the art of turning life’s curveballs into something meaningful—the way people adapt, grow, and reclaim their agency even in the face of challenges. My own journey through physical and mental health twists and turns (with plenty of “Wait… what now?” moments) led me to discover that movement, breath, meditation, and yogic self-inquiry aren’t just practices—they’re pathways to choice, empowerment, and unexpected resilience. At the heart of it all, I hope to help people feel more at home in themselves—to uncover pockets of ease, self-compassion, and maybe even a little playfulness along the way.
