What This Means For You
When you work with me, you're not getting a generic program or a one-size-fits-all approach.
You're working with someone who has been where you are — dismissed by conventional approaches, trying to piece things together, doing everything right and still not quite getting there. I know what it feels like when the standard advice doesn't apply to your body. And I know how much changes when you finally find something that does.
What I bring to that:
-
17 years working with real bodies — hypermobility, injuries, chronic stress, hormonal shifts, the long work of building resilience
-
Deep training in both Western movement science and Ayurvedic health principles
-
A method that translates ancient frameworks into practical, modern habits that fit demanding lives
-
The genuine belief that your body is not a problem to be managed — it's a system to be understood
My Path Here
I came to movement through necessity.
I'm hypermobile — which sounds harmless until you're dealing with recurring injuries that conventional physical therapy doesn't quite know what to do with. I was treated for the symptom, not the pattern underneath it. Nothing really resolved. I kept getting hurt, and I kept being handed the same limited set of tools.
At some point I realized that the best person to address my health was myself.
That shift changed everything. I started exploring mind-body movement patterns more deeply — the way posture, breath, and habitual movement were all connected, and how much my body could tell me when I learned to listen to it. I was building something that worked. But I could also see that movement alone wasn't the whole picture.
That's what Ayurveda gave me.
When I discovered Ayurveda, I saw that real healing required looking at everything — how I was eating, sleeping, managing stress, what my body's specific rhythms were asking for at different times of day and different seasons of the year. It was a framework for understanding myself as an individual. And that's where my own healing actually started.
The two things turned out to be made for each other. Mind-body movement addresses how the body functions and what it's holding. Ayurveda addresses the conditions in which it can thrive. Together they create something neither does alone.
That's the work I do with clients now.
