Private Sessions

I offer eight private sessions in a package called Spontaneous Shift. It’s my clinical opinion, based on science and experience, as to the dose of yoga that shifts long standing patterns.

When I don’t know, I say so. I love working with other healthcare professionals. I refer promptly when needed. You'll have my expertise, listening ear, and heart supporting you. Connect to your own wisdom, try new things, and heal.

Long experience taught me to trust my students’ bodies. I take what you know and experience seriously.

Not sure if Spontaneous Shift is right for you? Take class for $1.00.
