Welcome to Yoga in the Valley, LLC! I am excited to provide you with the best services in yoga, massage therapy, and other healing modalities. I have been in the business for over 20 years and am passionate about helping individuals who are on the path to wellness.

​

I first discovered yoga and massage when I suffered an injury while working as a professional dancer and dance instructor. Experiencing the benefits of these healing modalities for myself inspired me to shift my focus from dance to massage therapy and yoga. I graduated from CenterPoint School of Massage and Bodywork in 2002 where I received training in Swedish, deep-tissue massage, and trigger point therapy. I also earned certification in Aromatherapy through the West Coast Institute of Aromatherapy. I am licensed to provide massage and therapeutic bodywork in the state of Wisconsin and am nationally certified through NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork).

​

I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training through Devanadi Yoga and my 300-hour yoga teacher training through Green Lotus Yoga & Healing Center.  I am currently a lead trainer for Green Lotus Yoga & Healing Center's 200-hour yoga teacher training and am a Yoga Alliance approved continuing education provider. I lead trainings and workshops in anatomy, chakras, philosophy, pranayama, and more.

​

My belief that healing comes from within is what guides my work. I seek to create a safe and comfortable space for students and clients and to apply techniques that will support their own natural healing processes, whether in a bodywork session, yoga class, or private session.
