Summary

Though I have worked mostly in shops and retail, I discovered my love for helping others heal during Yoga Teacher Training in 2016. I mostly guided students through Yin and Slow Flow practices and enjoyed smaller classes that could be tailored to the needs of individuals. The Covid pandemic halted my teaching but bolstered my interest in therapeutic practices, which led to the decision to pursue a career as a Physical Therapy Assistant.
