Shift from Surviving to Thriving

in health & in life.
Get Started

Chart Your Path to Vibrant Health

To thrive is to grow vigorously; to gain in wealth or possessions; to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances (Merrian Webster). 

Sounds great, right? Who doesn't want to thrive and live a vibrant life?!

But the alarming truth is, many of us are stuck in survival mode. We go through the motions, we strive, we tick all the boxes of external success, but deep inside, something is missing. Instead of thriving, we experience exhaustion, overwhelm, anxiety, and stress.

Am I right? I know I'm right, because I've lived it. I live in the real world, too: I have a career, a family, and I manage a chronic disease (more on that later)…but I have found a way to thrive despite the hustle and noise of modern life, and you can, too.

Ecology

Three figures side by side with interlocking arms to show collaboration.

Ecology is the study of inter-connectedness. My vision for health is inherently holistic; it spans physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. We grow, learn, heal and thrive in community. Relationships are the most important things of value, and your relationship to SELF is the foundation for optimal well-being.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga is more than a practice of postures on a sticky mat. It is a state of being in which mental and emotional fluctuations cease. It is a practice and a way of life. There is a yoga path for EVERY BODY.

Holistic Solution

Your physical and emotional wellness are interconnected on a deep level. My goal is to support you on your journey of self-awareness, as you learn how to choose from a variety of tools in order to navigate life’s everyday stressors.

Aroma Therapy

Mother nature provides medicine in many forms, including essential oils- potent plant extracts- which have been used for millennia by people around the world. Many plants generate volatile compounds to protect against predators and other threats such as disease. These compounds, extracted as essential oils, serve the same purpose in our bodies.

My teacher Joseph LePage explains yoga therapy with this analogy: Yoga teachers cook with a recipe, while yoga therapists cook from scratch and substitute ingredients as needed. Work with me to discover more joy in your everyday life using breath, movement, and meditative techniques.

Essential oils are vastly versatile. While modern pharmaceuticals often target a single symptom, essential oils can offer multiple therapeutic benefits. In our sessions, you learn how to use these plant essences in your daily life to manage stress and support your well-being.
