The Virtuous Circle

I am a trauma sensitive, and Energy Medicine trained yoga instructor. I am also a certified health coach who infuses mindfulness practices into my practice. I believe that individuals can manage their health and well-being more effectively when they engage the mind and body connection. When working with clients, I like to utilize all of my skills synergistically to help people discover ways to access the tools they have within themselves to heal. I specialize in working with individuals who are suffering from anxiety and stress, and those who have physical limitations and concerns. My approach to wellness is multi-faceted. Together we will look at many different factors that may contribute to anxiety, dis-ease, and stress. Then we will discuss and practice strategies that may increase your overall sense of well being, such as mindfulness, yogic practices, physical activity, and food choices. My experience and training affords me the opportunity to offer clients yoga and breathing techniques within our coaching sessions, or separately to groups. The trauma sensitive yoga classes that I teach are meant to resonate with everyday people. They mainly focus on gentle poses and breath work. This practice can help people with anxiety, depression, and those whose lives have been impacted by trauma. I am also certified in chair yoga. This gentle yoga is practiced in a chair, or using a chair as a prop to help students move through the poses. This is beneficial for people who are new to yoga, concerned about balance issues, or confined to a wheelchair. I love coaching people to find ways to make impactful choices for improving their overall health and seeing them get excited about the small shifts that may encourage them to continue the great work that they have started. I guide people to make baby steps and be patient with themselves in the process. NOTE: Due to increased sensitivity about the spread of COVID-19 I am available to offer coaching sessions virtually. I will still give the same high-quality content but just via a phone or other type of smart device. I am vaccinated as well if you prefer to meet in person. Also, if you are experiencing financial hardships due to loss of income during this time please talk to me about my sliding fee schedule. **I also offer a 10% discount when clients purchase a 4 or 6 session package.**
