I first started practicing yoga 2 years ago to help relieve my anxiety and depression. After experiencing the way yoga has healed my life, I knew I wanted to help others find that healing as well. My goal as an instructor is to encourage people of all ages and body types to embrace the practice of yoga and find inner peace.

I love hiking and being in nature because of the sense of peace and clarity it brings. I feel so grounded and connected to myself and to the earth whenever I have the chance to practice yoga outside. My hope is to share this feeling with others through Hikyoga.

In my spare time, I love to travel, run, read books, and spend time with my loved ones! I especially love spending time with my husband and our dog (Leo). My husband is the one who encouraged and supported me to become a yoga teacher and a Hikyoga instructor, so I owe where I am today to him!

I am so excited to share Hikyoga with my students because of the positivity and love it brings to my soul. I also can’t wait to take my students on yoga adventures in the beautiful metro parks we have in Akron, Ohio. I truly love this city, and I’m beyond excited to share its beauty with others through the practice of yoga.
