I received my 200 hour teacher certification in 2005 with Yogananda Michael Carroll. From Asana to Pranayama, from the Pradipika to the Bhagavad Gita, Yogananda's lessons and wisdom have given me a firm foundation from which to strenthen my practice and my teachings. I also study under Baron Baptiste and have trained with Stephanie Keach and Heather Tiddons. Currently I'm pursuing my passion to learn and practice with Yogarupa Rod Stryker and plan to complete a 500 hour master teacher program this year.

In 2008 I formed Tastemakers of Charlotte, personal chef services. I prepare organic, living, local foods for friends, family, brides, partygoers and corporate clients. The demand for education about eating well was compelling enough for me to open another side of the business. In 2009 EATwell LIVEwell was created. I offer nourishment for body, mind and spirit through group classes, private lessons, workshops and retreats that focus on Yoga practice and deliciously prepared organic foods.

What began as my hobbies, yoga and cooking, have become my way of life. I am truly grateful that I have the freedom, ability, and knowledge to do what I do. Now, if I can just reinsert my passion for sailing and high seas!
