Meet the Founder
Depth Over Pretension.
15 Years of Movement Science.
I spent the last 15 years of my career focusing on what happens when the body stops responding to traditional effort. My work is dedicated to rehab, joint health, and the specific transitions of peri-menopause.
At Align Yoga & Strength, we don’t perform movement—we teach it. My goal is to help you rebuild trust with your body so you can move with clarity, not guesswork.
"I’ve spent a career learning how to fix what’s broken, starting with myself."

Lived-In Experience.
My approach pulls from tools I’ve used to rehab my own messed-up back and joints, along with my personal journey through peri-menopause. I know what it’s like to feel your identity shifting along with your physical capacity.
I’m here to help you tap into your rhythm—identifying days when we work with the body, not push through it.
