I am originally from New Jersey, but I moved here from Chicago 4 1/2 years ago. Five years ago, I was struck with Bells Palsy and the right side of my face was completely paralyze. I started to go blind in my right eye, so I had to have it sewn shut to protect the cornea. I moved to Atlanta with one eye and hiding behind sunglasses. I flew back to Chicago and made the doctors open my eye. That next week back in Atlanta, I decided to do a Yoga Teacher Training and that changed me. I saw myself through my reflection and learned to love myself in a way that I never knew I could. Besides my family, being an instructor is my everything! I become stronger every-time I am encouraging my students to be stronger. We are in it together and that is beyond powerful! When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, three children and three dogs. Fun fact about me is that my all-time favorite Broadway show is “Rent” and of course I will sometimes put a song from it in my playlist and sing it to everyone!
