About Me:

I believe in the power of the mind body connection and the effectiveness of yoga and meditation to work with mental health and medical conditions. Yoga has been an invaluable companion in my life for the last 35 years. I  have found yoga an effective tool to manage anxiety and stress. I used yoga, meditation, self massage and acupuncture to deal with pain and mobility issues after a shoulder replacement. I am currently using yoga to manage pain due to arthritis and back issues. Yoga therapy works!!
