About
My goal is to ensure the client has the tools they need to practice yoga and meditation in a way that is customized for their body and needs in a safe, meaningful way.
I truly love imparting knowledge about yoga and all of its benefits and challenges to others, simply because yoga is good. It can change everything. Through teaching, I learn so much about the vast field of yoga and how it continues to evolve.

Hired on Thumbtack
What a fantastic instructor. We discussed ahead of time What our group wanted in terms of relaxation Andy mindfulness. We really were happy she lead us through. We had a great time and it was really nice she traveled to our Airbnb and it really added to our time spent in Nashville just before the whole covid mess.

Great yoga teacher! Creates a space for people to thrive in their practice. Love her whole body/mind/spirit approach. It's not just a workout with her; it's a transformative experience.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge between $65-$100/hour, depending on the distance I travel to the client and the length of the session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with an informal conversation with my client, asking what brought them to yoga and what their needs are. It helps also to understand the client's lifestyle in order to tailor a practice that suits them. I then ask them what they are looking for in their practice so we can work out a schedule and plan that suits them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, over 500 hours in yoga training, and a certification in prenatal yoga. I read books regularly written by yogis who transformed the industry of yoga, as well as attend workshops and lectures to learn how to be a more purposeful instructor.
