I have spent 20 years studying how the brain, body, and energy work together and how to help people use that knowledge to actually feel better.
I am a yoga instructor, neuroscientist, and the creator of Neuro-Yoga: an approach developed by weaving two decades of neuroscience training into yoga methodology. The result is a practice that goes deeper than movement, one that works directly with the nervous system to support healing, regulation, and real, lasting change.
It started with an injury and a discovery that changed everything.
In 2005, I ran the Chicago Marathon and came away with a knee injury that stopped me in my tracks. After three months of consistent yoga practice, the pain was gone, not managed, gone! That experience led me to a bigger question: if yoga could do this for the body, what else could it do?
That question led me into a deep study of yoga's physical, neurological, and energetic dimensions. Over time, that study became Neuro-Yoga and eventually, Particle Play™: my signature method for working directly with the body's energy field to release patterns, regulate the nervous system, and restore a person's natural sense of themselves.
"I want people to stop fighting their own energy and start working with it."
Whether through Particle Play™ sessions, Human Design readings, Neuro-Yoga, or community workshops, my work comes back to one thing: helping people feel at home in themselves. Grounded. Clear. Empowered to move forward.
