Dance was my first real passion with Yoga following shortly behind; both guided me into the person I am today. I love helping people find joy through movement, particularly working with children to help enrich their sense of balance (both physically and mentally) from a young age. I think it’s amazing how many healing opportunities both dance and yoga have to offer, whether the healing is related to mental health recovery or physical therapy after an injury.
I found my love for dance at a young age in rural Maine, advancing my studies into the cities of Boston and New York. My passion for dance flourished while spending summers at Boston Conservatory, Alvin Ailey, ABT, and attending the Joffrey Ballet School Trainee Program. After receiving an AA in Dance Performance from Dean College, I went on to complete my BA through UMass Amherst with a dual degree in Dance & Health. While completing my BA I also became a Certified Yoga Instructor, continuing my educational studies in Yoga Specialization.
