About

A devastating back injury in 2013 abruptly took me out of the dance world and placed me on a frustrating journey. It took time, patience, and persistence to understand how to better manage my symptoms and bolster my well-being. 

 

Over the years, what has benefitted my health the most?​ 

A combined approach of physical medicine, restorative practices, and movement.

 

Today, I am so grateful to be adventuring again and I look forward to helping you get back to doing what you love!
