I received my Hatha Yoga Certification in 2002 from senior level Iyengar teacher, Nicky Knoff, at the Ashtanga Yoga Academy in Cairns, Australia. I completed a dual degree program from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USA) in 2006.  Through this dual degree, I achieved my Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy and Master's in Occupational Therapy.
 
A year after working as an orthopedic physical therapist, I received my Manual Therapy Certification from USA. Since 2006, I have worked as a manual physical therapist and yoga instructor.  I also lead various anatomy and movement workshops throughout the year. I combine the skills of manual therapy and movement re-education to enhance the rehabilitation process.

I am attracted to the style of Anusara Yoga because it is a very smart and precise style of yoga, in terms of alignment and creating energy. Its principal philosophy revolves around opening the heart. A few of my favorite yoga teachers are Desiree Rumbaugh, Aadil Palkhivala and Rodney Yee. In my free time, I enjoy practicing Yoga, Pilates, mountain biking, skiing, traveling and reading. I am originally from Pensacola, FL and lived in St. Augustine, FL for almost eight years for my undergraduate and post-graduate studies. I married an exceptional man, who is from Fort Collins, in Steamboat Springs September of 2008 .
