Yoga has been a guiding force in my life for over four decades, shaping my journey in profound ways. From my initial encounter with Iyengar's teachings to formal training with esteemed mentors like Sue Hopkins and Gina Minyard, my passion for yoga has only deepened. With a background in finance and a heartfelt commitment to mind-body healing, I've woven together diverse experiences to create Lift Yoga, a beacon of authenticity and community in Alpharetta.

At Lift, I've had the privilege of collaborating with remarkable teachers and mentors, fostering an environment where genuine connection and growth flourish. From the inception of Lift Yoga to its vibrant evolution, every step has been guided by a deep sense of purpose and dedication to our students' well-being.

As I transitioned from owning Lift in 2019 to embarking on a new chapter, the vision for a transformative Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Collective emerged. This collective endeavor, born from a dream in June 2022, seeks to empower boutique studios and aspiring yoga teachers alike, offering a rich tapestry of wisdom and support.

Today, I am humbled to serve in various capacities - as a licensed psychotherapist specializing in traumatic stress, a Fitbodies ambassador leading classes in tropical locales, and a YTT facilitator guiding students on their transformative journey. It is with profound gratitude and excitement that I invite you to join our YTT collective, where together, we'll discover joy, growth, and freedom on the path of yoga and self-discovery.
