Hello! I am a yoga teacher and lymphedema therapist and my mission is to:
* Help people thrive in the midst of chronic illness or life changes.
* Help current and future massage professionals to deepen their yoga practice.
*Help event organizers incorporate mind/body practices into their medical conferences and meetings.
I hold a Bachelors of Applied Science degree in Massage Therapy and I am board certified in therapeutic massage and bodywork. I have a massage business helping people recover from plastic surgery as well as reconstructive surgery after cancer treatment. I'm an ACE certified health coach, as well as a labyrinth facilitator and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance.
I taught Mindfulness at IPSB Massage College in San Diego, CA and I am a coauthor of the Standard of Care for Lipedema in the United States (published in Phlebology, available on Pubmed) and the author of Mindful Strategies for Adult Clients with Adverse Childhood Experiences as well as Stress Reduction for Lymphedema (both available on Amazon).
