If you’re reading this, perhaps we haven’t met (yet). And if that’s the case, I’m curious to learn about YOU as well. Because I operate by asking a lot of questions. And I credit my insatiable curiosity for leading me onto a Soma table in 2010. After I went through The Series I no longer had pain in my hamstrings and shoulder, felt smart in my body, and had access to new movement. This naturally endowed an overall feeling of joy in me. So I wanted to learn the tools to gift this experience to others. 

My life pre-Soma includes the following experiences: graduating from the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington, taking a 200-hour Yoga teacher training, co-founding the 501c3 nonprofit Mind Series, biking 2000 miles around the U.S. to film a documentary and raise awareness on Young Onset Dementia, and leading bicycle tours for the active travel company Backroads in France. 

Now as a graduate from the Soma Institute of Neuromuscular Integration®, I am grateful to be equipped with an efficient and effective technique for lasting ease and joy in the body. In addition to Soma, I like to incorporate my background of teaching Yoga into my sessions. 

When I’m not practicing Soma, I’m likely practicing one of the following: Acroyoga, French, Radiohead or Amelie soundtrack on piano, painting dog portraits, East Coast Swing with my honey, patience while sitting in Seattle traffic, wine tasting, singing improvised campfire songs, bicycle maintenance, and documentary film editing. Or when I’m not practicing anything, I’m probably watching TED talks or reading books by neuroscientists.
