Please share what you do in 10-15 words:

I provide retreats, trainings, and resource materials to help people unify and balance their mind, body, and spiritual connection with yoga, meditation, guided imagery, real relaxation, and humor.

Why do you do what you do?

It’s so satisfying to see people learn practical and positive ways to feel both peaceful and energized and discover ways to put it into heartfelt action for living a more meaningful and satisfying life.

What are you currently fascinated by in your work?

Yoga Nidra! It’s such a wonderful, deeply relaxing, and meditative way to easily tap into one’s inner source of deep peace, inspiration, unconditional joy, and self-discovery for renewal.

My yoga nidra book and recordings are being used by folks, young and old, to help them handle stress, improve their health, and make enduring and significant life changes. My latest recording is even being used in the United States Army.

How did you come to your path? Any aha moments or key teachers?

My yoga path started many years ago as a thread and now it has become my lifeline. Yoga and meditation have been very good to me both personally and professionally and I like sharing these gifts with others.
