I inherited an unbalanced nervous system, then spent two decades making it worse working as a baby nurse, waking with newborns every 2–3 hours every night — something we are only built to do for a short period of time. Like most new mothers, I lived in a state of exhaustion.

Add injuries and postpartum depression, and I was a mess.

Over the years I trained in yoga, strength and group fitness, Bowen Therapy, Reiki, breathwork, meditation and more. I learned a lot through formal training, but I also learned through making mistakes and figuring out what actually helped me feel strong, steady and at home in my body.

It still takes intention for me to stay embodied, and that informs every class I teach.

Today I am strong, I move well, and most importantly — I AM EMBODIED.

Every week someone tells me that one cue changed the way they perform a movement they have done for years — and how much better it feels. That matters to me because strength is not simply about lifting heavier. It is about learning to move well enough that you can keep using that strength in your life.

STRENGTH + MOBILITY + BALANCE + RECOVERY

My work is now focused primarily on helping women in midlife and beyond become stronger without losing the mobility, balance and recovery that allow them to feel good in their bodies and keep doing the things they love.

I don't believe strength should be trained in isolation.

You can get stronger and still struggle to reach overhead, squat comfortably, get up from the floor, balance confidently or recover well.

That's why this program deliberately combines strength, mobility, balance and nervous-system recovery.

We also work on the areas that are often overlooked — the feet and ankles, hips and glutes, lower back, smaller shoulder stabilizers, wrists and grip. These areas support the bigger movements and create a stronger foundation for everything that comes next.

REAL REST MATTERS

After decades of searching, Yoga Nidra was one of the practices that finally helped my nervous system learn how to shift toward rest.

Meditation can feel hard when you're exhausted, stressed or used to constant stimulation. It did for me — even with a brilliant mother who teaches meditation.

I see Yoga Nidra, guided relaxation, restorative practices and breathwork as accessible ways to learn how to genuinely rest.

Sometimes all you need to do is lie down, close your eyes and listen.

And recovery is not separate from strength training. Rest is where the muscle building happens. Particularly in midlife, when sleep and recovery can change, learning how to protect both becomes increasingly important.

MOVING INTO WHOLENESS

This is the philosophy behind Moving Into Wholeness.

We are not training one part of you in isolation. We are building strength while improving mobility and balance, addressing commonly overlooked weak points, and learning how to recover well.

You will also have access to community support, regular progression guidance and live coaching so you are not left trying to figure it all out alone.

This growing and evolving community is about supporting each other as we all Move Into Wholeness Together.
