I’m a Certified Yoga Instructor (200-Hour YTT) and Yoga Therapist in training (C-IAYT), passionate about creating inclusive spaces where you can breathe, rest, and reconnect. With over a decade in high-stress federal and corporate roles, I understand the need for balance and self-care.

 

Laurel & Lavender was born from my own journey toward balance — a weaving of structure and surrender, effort and ease. As a busy woman navigating life’s demands, I created this space to honor both the champion (laurel) and the healer (lavender) within — and to support others in doing the same.

 

My teaching blends the ancient wisdom of yoga with trauma-informed, body-positive, and nervous-system-regulating practices, tailored to the people in front of me. I work with individuals, groups, schools, and community organizations—especially in underserved communities across Alexandria, Baltimore, and the Greater D.C. area—offering practices that are authentic, accessible, and deeply personal.

 

Whether you're seeking healing, resilience, or simply a deeper breath, I hope you find this practice to be grounding, empowering — and yes, even a little fun.

​

I’m honored to walk this path with you.
