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. I am a working mom with over a decade of experience in high-stress federal and corporate roles - I truly 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 Northern Virginia, Baltimore/Maryland, and the greater Washington 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.
