I live in Sandpoint, Idaho with my dog & furry soulmate Tina Marie. I offer meditation, reiki and yoga at The Yellow Room where I also serve as the Director. We are a start up non-profit that serves the community through movement classes and workshops that help align our bodies through joy, connection and community.

I am sober and come to you with offerings that reflect my journey home to myself. I’m still on the journey home, it’s not linear and doesn’t have a finite ending…that is the beautiful part of it. More is revealed to me about the world around me and how flowers, meditation, reiki, recovery and yoga can help us find balance, peace and love through our greater awareness of self.

I often refer to myself as a “retired florist”. I was a florist in Seattle for twelve years and owned a shop for five. I grew up in a family business in the NYC area that supported my family for four generations and spent my formative years in a ballet studio. I have a BA in Psychology from New York University, a 200HR YTT,  completed Y12SR Leadership training, am Level two attuned in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki & Holy Fire Reiki and completed a six month apprenticeship with Cedar Mountain Herb School in the Fall of 2021. I continue my studies in herbalism and my personal practice of yoga.

I will leave you with this, one of my favorite quotes that met me at a time in my life when I needed it most. I hope it helps support you on your journey.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

-Anais Nin

Wednesday, 530pm-645pm-Yoga for 12 Step Recovery

Y12SR is a holistic model that addresses the physical, mental & spiritual dis-ease of addiction and relapse prevention. Informed by the latest research in neuroscience and trauma healing, Y12SR combines the somatic approach of yoga with the cognitive approach of the 12 step model. With a fundamental belief that the “the issues live in our tissues” … the body bears the burden of addiction, as it gets ‘stuck’ in us

Tuesdays, 830am-930am-Gentle Yoga 

Looking for more movement than a Yin classi but still something that’s easy and approachable? Gentle Yoga is a playful class that focuses on joint health and mobility via easy movements and stretching – and maybe, sometimes spontaneous dance breaks. This class also includes easy, guided breathing exercises and a short, guided meditation to help students feel relaxed and grounded. This class is designed for all abilities and experience levels.

Offered Tuesdays at 1030am & 12pm. ( 60 minute sessions)

A Meditation in Flowers 

Sharing my decade plus experience as a florist with you and how flowers helped facilitate my journey of recovery. They have always lead me home, even when I walked away from them for a time. They waited for me to heal a bit more and then met me once again. I’m here to share this beautiful journey with you.
