I care deeply about the way we all eat, move, sleep, think, and engage with the world around us — and how we can be our most vibrant, energetic selves.
I grew up in the small town of The Dalles, Oregon, and began dancing at the age of four... and never stopped :)
I spent my twenties studying, working, and dancing in Europe. I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for two years before relocating to The Hague, Netherlands, for several more. It was a profound, life-changing chapter — the chance to immerse myself in different cultures, learn new languages, and meet so many wonderful people along the way.
A professional modern dancer for decades — with a Bachelor's degree in Dance from the University of Washington in Seattle — I've spent recent years continuing to explore the intersection of embodiment and somatic practice, and in May 2026 became a certified facilitator of The Non-Linear Movement Method® with Michaela Boehm. A dedicated yoga practitioner and devotee of Pilates, I became a certified STOTT Pilates Instructor in 2004 and Yoga Instructor in 2006. In 2006, I opened a Pilates studio in Seattle — a space where people could move their bodies, and begin to heal them on a deeper level by understanding their own nutritional needs.
In 2009, I became a certified Functional Nutritional Therapist through the Nutritional Therapy Association, completing a rigorous education in the foundations of health: digestion, blood sugar, hormones, essential fatty acids, hydration, and vitamins and minerals.
An ever-curious spirit and lifelong learner, I continue to deepen my knowledge of nutrition, movement, personal development, and spiritual growth — always in service of the women and men I work with, whether the focus is metabolic health, hormonal balance, or simply coming home to a more vibrant relationship with their own body.
