I am a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher who is dedicated to bringing this technology to people living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and other chronic illnesses. This comes from my own experience of living with severe MCS for the last decade after a chemical injury. Kundalini Yoga has given me the tools to be self-empowered about my healing journey and the technology offers so much that can directly address imbalances in the physical organ systems, as well as the energy bodies, that occur with this condition. My hope is to provide accessibility, safety, inspiration and the incredible benefits for mind, body, soul, etc. offered by Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, to a population of people who are usually excluded from much of life, including yoga centers.

I come to Kundalini Yoga with an educational background in Psychology and the Arts from Carnegie Mellon University. I also studied and became licensed as a massage therapist at Dr. Jay Scherer's Academy of Natural Healing. After becoming ill, I started a non-profit farm animal sanctuary that specializes in ruminants, called The Sheep Sanctuary. My work with animals, my life experience, and my previous study in the Hakomi Trauma Training has given me a special interest in working with PTSD, and I am working on a curriculum for teaching Kundalini Yoga for trauma resolution as well as one for MCS. It is also my wish in the future to be able to teach girls suffering from eating disorders or at risk of that, because of the self-esteem building elements of Kundalini Yoga.

I am assisted in my teaching by an incredible service dog from Assistance Dogs of the West named Ami, and my hope is that others living with disabilities will feel encouraged to let nothing stop them from fulfilling their destiny.
