I teach and facilitate workshops from a place of curiosity and compassion. I believe in meeting each individual or group in their unqiue strengths and creating environments of play and creative problem solving. As a teacher and a life-long student I value complexity, nuance and diversity of thought and experience. I’m trained in trauma informed and adaptive body yoga as well as extensive training in fine art. I draw from my own experiences of chronic illness and mental health struggles, grounding practices and fascination with the natural world, change and curiosity.

exert from my moss movement somatic workshop:

I know very little about moss intellectually, except that once someone told me not to peel it up because it takes a really long time to grow (ever since I’ve been very careful). I know it much more somatically, from using it as a child in building fairy houses, precious moss squares spending a long time between my fingers (I did not at the time know that it might take a really long time to grow), to trying to calm my nerves at the beginning of the pandemic when I had to move back in with my parents because none of us knew if Covid would kill me. I’d walk down to the forest behind their house and press into the immensely fluffy mounds of moss, gently but with the intention to ground. I remember it in both spaces as spongey in a deeply pleasant way. The perfect roofing material. Like fun is woven into its pores. Silliness seeps out when a little finger presses into its bounciness. And it’s also near the musk, the soothing messiness of the ground- mold, decaying wood, rocks and maybe strange forest trash. The perfect both/and. I love moss, it was a prized construction material for fairy houses, and so sat in my heart from a young age. It comes to mind often when I’m practicing yoga, a way to keep my attention grounded yet springy. Moss grows in the in between, my favorite space, the synovial fluid of the world, and something in me innately turns to it when I need to find space in my body- the in-betweens, the space that is found in all things, no matter how tight, tired or painful. Moss breathes this springiness.
