If you have followed the Mindful Movement on YouTube or the other social media platforms, you likely have heard my voice guiding meditations, possibly followed a Pilates or Yoga practice with me, and likely have seen my face in photos.  There is also a percentage of our audience who has even worked with one on one or in a small group.  No matter how you have come to know me, perhaps you have some more questions about who I am, what I believe, and how I got to where I am today.  I’d love to introduce myself if you are interested.

In my early 30’s, I realized I was drifting through life aimlessly, doing what I thought I should be doing in my career and my confidence was lacking.  I was in the “I’ll be happy when…” phase, always searching for the next thing to be a better teacher, when a mentor asked me to consider why I teach.  She asked me to look deeper than the what and how I teach.

This was a turning point in my career and incidentally, my personal life. I believe this one question was the inspiration for the start of The Mindful Movement.

As I took the time to really get to know myself and my values through movement and meditation, I realized I needed to shift my beliefs about myself and clarify my values in order to move forward.  A lot of the “What’s” in my life stayed the same. 

However, the “Why’s” and the “How’s” have developed and become richer.  I began to feel empowered, confident, and fulfilled.  And this is truly when The Mindful Movement came into being.

One other big shift centered around my experience with hypnotherapy which allowed me to uncover unconscious beliefs I had about myself that were holding me back.  Once these were uncovered, it gave me the power and freedom to change my beliefs about myself to a more positive perspective.

These two significant shifts in my life have pushed me to believe in myself and I am called to help others do the same.  I am honored and grateful every day to have the opportunity to teach and guide others to experience similar empowerment, confidence, and fulfillment.  Through self-healing movement practices and mindset shifts, I help others to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, to build confidence in their own body, and to feel safe and cared for.  When people seek me out because they are stressed, anxious or feel stuck, I help them build confidence and emotional freedom.
