Founder @ Luna Nidra

Specialty: Yoga Nidra

I started practicing yoga in 2007, at the Yoga Room in Cleveland, Ohio, learning the Iyengar system from Erica Steinweg. After moving to Austin in 2008, I studied with Peggy Kelly, and then Liz Belile. Life got in the way for a few years, and my practice became erratic, but I never lost interest. After getting injured training martial arts, I returned to serious yoga practice. I am now completing my Level 1 ParaYoga training with Yogarupa Rod Stryker. I also continue to study in Austin, primarily with Laura Teal.

In addition to yoga, I love to write, and am the author of two poetry chapbooks: Come Into the World Like That (Five Oaks Press, 2016) and We’re Smaller Than We Think We Are (Finishing Line Press, 2013). I have a B.A. in English from Kenyon College, an M.A. in English from Case Western Reserve University, and an M.F.A in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at El Paso.

Bowenwork, Myofascial Release (John Barnes method), Restorative Exercise Specialist, Intuitive Healing

I have over 19 years of professional experience as a bodywork therapist. My niche is helping my clients relax like they never have, overcome chronic pain and begin moving freely again. Most importantly, my passion is creating space for the body and heart to reveal what it needs for healing and expression. I believe we are all worthy of our inner heart’s desires and sometimes we have to manifest pain and illness as a way to wake up to our awesomeness! I am a Master Bowenwork Practitioner, a Registered Yoga Teacher, Restorative Exercise Specialist through the Nutritious Movement Center, Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Texas, and a healing intuitive.
