"Ahimsa is a Buddhist and Hindu doctrine expressing belief in the sacredness of all living creatures and urging the avoidance of harm and violence."

Thanks for taking some time to learn about the therapeutic treatments and classes I offer. My interest in good health and self-expression through movement began when I was young. Later, in college, studying psychology and theatre led to my interest into the complexities of mind and behavior.

In 1996 my journey towards greater health and peace led me to study Yoga - a philosophy for life which finally integrated and clarified my understanding of body, mind and spirit. Since then, I have worked with the extraordinary Yoga teachers B.K.S. Iyengar, S.N. Goenka, John Friend, Peentz Dubble and Todd Norian in America and India.

For me it has been natural to progress from studying Yoga to learning Massage. I am a nationally certified graduate of the Muscular Therapy Institute in Watertown, MA. I am also a Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner trained at the Lotus Palm School in Montreal.

My yoga classes are mainly influenced by the by the teachings of John Friend (Anusara Yoga) and B.K.S. Iyengar (Iyengar Yoga). Classes are safe, fun, challenging, creative - a celebration of being alive! Yoga leads to increased self-awareness, freedom and balance. Bodywork compliments, supports, enhances yoga. I am a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioner and mentor.

Meditation is an important component of total health and I offer Meditation Workshops through Union Hospital in Lynn, MA.
