After having a fabulous college experience at the University of Michigan, I dedicated my life to teaching about the out-of doors in state parks, National Parks, schools, at Glen Helen and at ODNR. In the early 90's I had a shift where I wanted to work with people in a healing capacity and so went through medical massage training and yoga therapy training. I started a private practice in Yellow Springs which still continues.
In 2006 when the girls were 6 and 9, I met my yoga teacher and spiritual teacher, Paramahamsa Nithyananda at a talk in Dayton, Ohio. Soon afterwards I traveled to India to attend the first Nithya Yoga Teacher Training.
After that experience I had the clear understanding that I wanted to move my family to be near the center in Delaware, Ohio to align my family, work and spiritual path in the energized field of Nithyanandeshwara Hindu Temple. We are still continuing that pioneering experience because while many people will move for a corporation, how many will move when one family member wants to follow her spiritual path? I am forever in awe of my family who continues to support me in this vision.

I currently reside in Delaware, Ohio with Brian and Saskia where I wear many different hats. I have a private yoga and wellness practice and I also substitute as a teacher in the local schools. I teach yoga at the YMCA. I am full time chauffeur to my daughter. I volunteer at NHTOhio where I teach Nithya Yoga, meditation classes and coordinate Ohio activities for the World Wide Nithya Yoga Foundation. I return to India again and again to receive direct teachings from Swamiji to expand the space of possibility for my family, my clients and with anyone who needs healing or expansion to achieve their full potential. To wake up to wellness, to life.
