Beginning her career as a Certified Athletic Trainer, she managed acute care and rehabilitation for high school and collegiate athletes. After more than twenty years of practicing yoga, transitioning to yoga therapy seamlessly blended her graduate studies in biomechanics with the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of yoga, allowing her to effectively treat her clients from a BPSS approach. Currently operating her own yoga therapy practice, The Yoga Link, she sees private clients and teaches weekly therapeutic yoga and mobility classes both in-studio and virtually. As the Head of Education Solutions and a senior instructor for Threes Physiyoga Method, she is deeply involved in the yoga-based mindful movement practice rooted in physical therapy principles for whole-person wellness.

This program aims to support them in managing various conditions, providing education in the body's physiological responses to stressors, and teaching them tools and strategies for self-regulation. Her vision is to scale this program, detailing protocols, and training other yoga therapists to address the unique challenges of serving the corrections community, ultimately reaching more individuals in more facilities.
