Over the past eight years, I have become very interested in sustaining natural health through proper exercise, a healthy diet, spirituality, and rewarding relationships. My interest in holistic health began with an introduction to yoga. I instantly fell in love and decided to become trained as a Registered Yoga Teacher. I graduated from the Mt. Nittany Institute of Natural Health in 2003 and have been teaching group yoga classes since then.
As yoga brought me more awareness of my body, my interests in natural health continued to grow and I began to explore nutrition, healthy cooking, and organic foods. My own search for what healthy eating meant took me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I become certified as a Holistic Health Counselor in 2006.
It has become my passion to help others bring balance and a sense of well-being and purpose into their own lives. My most recent accomplishment has been to complete the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy training. It has brought me great joy to watch many Phoenix Rising clients get to know themselves better, become empowered, make changes in their lives, and feel more whole.
I currently have practices in the State College/Boalsburg area and in

Why does that matter? Because becoming aware is what changes a person's experience of life from being on autopilot to living a life that fosters passion, energy and love. When we make conscious decisions, whether it is about how long to stay in a yoga posture or what to eat for dinner, it makes all the difference in life.
