On the yoga mat I have found an amazing source of personal strength, flexibility and joy. It is my hope that in each yoga class I teach, students feel welcomed to discover their unique wisdom.
As a licensed massage therapist I offer an integrative approach aiming to co-create sessions with clients to address their goals, create a sense of well being and assist in creating ease within movement. While working with pregnant clients, postpartum clients, partners, friends, and families, my goal is to offer nurturing support and confidence in their pregnancy, labor and childbirth experience. |

Educational Background, Training and Professional Experience:
In 2000 I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology and in 2002 I attended the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, NY. In 2003 I trained in Herbal Healing with the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. I have practiced massage therapy since 2002 in New Jersey and New York State. I received advanced training in Reiki, Medical Massage, Anatomy Trains, Perinatal Massage, Infant Massage and Arvigo Technique of Mayan Abdominal Therapy®. In 2005 I shifted the direction of my practice to focus largely on prenatal and postnatal bodywork. My own journey of pregnancy began with my son, who was born in 2008. I quickly learned that the sacred time of pregnancy can be difficult and scary. In walking this path as a single mother, I decided to learn. I researched traditional birth practices, I found an amazing yoga teacher, went to weekly prenatal yoga and attended childbirth education. These experiences grounded me and allowed me to feel at ease, confident and grateful during my pregnancy. I had a powerful and transformative birth experience where I was supported by my yoga practice, a birth doula and a nurse midwife. Having traveled the sacred journey of birth, I wanted to help other women and families. I trained as a Lamaze Childbirth Educator under Judith Lothian and as a Birth Doula under Debra Pascali-Bonaro with Doulas of North America International. I also trained as a Postpartum Doula with Tradition Birth Arts. I have attended Doula workshops including Breast Feeding for Doulas and Acupressure for Pregnancy, Childbirth & Postpartum. In 2013 I attended 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Betsy Kase at Yoga Haven and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) with Yoga Alliance. I completed level 1 Little Flower yoga for children with Jennifer Cohen. I received level 1 and 2 Yin Yoga training with Biff Mithoefer and Restorative Yoga training with Sue Flamm. I received Prenatal Yoga training from Kelly Devi Swellis. I am blessed to be part of the teaching staff at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Mount Kisco, NY since its opening in 2008. I am a New York State and NCBTMB approved provider of continuing education for Licensed Massage Therapists- provider number 1473. I am also a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. I offer several different advanced training programs for LMTs and Yoga Teachers. I am dedicated to offering solid and informed training for LMTs and Yoga Teachers attending my workshops. |
