Yoga Teacher

My yoga journey began in 2014 after years of practicing martial arts, where I earned my 1st Degree Black Belt. While I loved the intensity, my body craved something gentler, and yoga became the perfect path. By 2018, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, along with Yin Yoga and Soul Exploration programs, and have since continued to expand my training in Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Reiki, Restorative, and Sound Healing.

After moving to the area in 2022, I found Zen Landing and instantly felt at home. My classes are gentle, nourishing, and supportive—blending movement, breath, and healing practices like Reiki, meditation, and sound to help students release stress and connect with themselves. I love using props to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable, no matter their experience.

Outside the studio, I treasure time with my husband of 34 years, our family (including our mastiff, Zoey), and soon, our first grandchild. I enjoy boating, gardening, crocheting, and cooking—and after a fulfilling nursing career, I’m grateful to be in this new chapter of sharing yoga and healing.

Studio Manager

After a nerve injury in my foot ended my career in the food industry, I found my way to Zen Landing, a community that has been a true source of support and healing. This experience inspired me to shift my focus, and I’m now working towards an associate degree in arts at ACCC, with plans to major in psychology. My ultimate goal is to become an art therapist, helping others heal through creativity.

Zen Landing has provided the positive, encouraging environment I’ve been searching for, filled with people who are dedicated to personal growth and uplifting one another. When I’m not immersing myself in studies or connecting with the Zen community, you’ll find me enjoying the simple pleasures—snuggling up with my cat Mac, spending time with friends, or catching a concert or sporting event.

I became a yoga teacher in 2023 so that I could learn more about the history of yoga. I want to share my joy of the practice with others.
