In her words-

“While I enjoy an invigorating flow class, I have a deep appreciation for the benefits of slow and still practices. I engage in breathwork, meditation, Yin, and restorative practices regularly to soothe my nervous system. I love my work at the hospital as it allows me to witness the benefits of these practices on the well-being of people in the clinical setting.”
