How I Can Help You
If you’ve found your way here, you want a new model of healing for you and/or your child with a lens on the whole person. A powerful source lies inside of everyone; one that is courageous, clear, compassionate, calm, and creative. Even if you can't feel it right now, I can help you and/or your child connect to your inner resources and find resilience, balance and joy.
My work is based on the knowledge that all disabilities originate in the body and how it functions. Our thoughts, emotions, and how we relate to others are all based on how we receive and process information. By observing how someone inhabits their body, their mental patterns and processes, I combine the best educational strategies with techniques that help the body and mind function at its personal best, allowing powerful growth to occur.
I hold a Master's in Teaching with certifications in Early Childhood, Childhood and Special Education, teaching both neuro typical and atypical children. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve helped 100+ children with Autism, Downs syndrome, sensory regulation/processing issues, ADHD/ADD, traumatic brain injury, Cerebral Palsy, speech and language delays as well as high functioning people with learning disabilities/differences.
I’m also a certified Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT). Yoga Therapy is the application of yogic tools, postures/movements, breathwork, meditation, and more to address an individual’s physical, mental and emotional needs. Yoga therapists are highly trained with course work commensurate to a Master's. In addition to my work in Yoga for Special Needs, I piloted the Yoga for Breast Cancer class at Nyack Hospital, and developed yoga programs for addiction and trauma.
Discover how I can help you lead your best possible life with the following services:
Therapeutic Yoga for Special Needs ( Approved Self Direction Provider)
Yoga is a multidimensional and holistic practice that addresses many of the physical, mental and emotional needs of each individual, including people with Special Needs. Traditionally, yoga was practiced in private sessions with student and teacher. I use this model so I can target the unique concerns of each student I work with. Special Education strategies are seamlessly integrated into each session to provide the opportunity for optimal growth and development. I offer compassionate and highly effective tools to help your child develop a greater sense of well being that they can carry over into daily life. Over time your child will feel more ease in their body as well as greater sensory regulation and focus.
Empowered Parent Coaching
Sometimes being the parent of a child with special needs can be overwhelming. You want the best for your child, but you're not sure how to help them. Daily life can feel like an uphill battle full of glitches and frustration. Empowered Parent Coaching puts you in the driver seat. During a thorough intake we will target and prioritize your areas of concern for you and your child. I will then develop a plan that works with your unique parenting style and outlook. You will be given simple, easy to implement strategies that you can begin using immediately. I will guide you every step of the way as you gain comfort and proficiency. Significant change can happen quickly, giving you a sense of mastery and ease.
Success Coaching for ADD/ADHD
Whether you are the parent of a school age child, a college student or a professional living with ADD/ADHD, disorganization, lack of consistency, and follow through can leave you with a massive to-do list, and a pile of unfinished projects. You know you are capable of so much more, but can't find a working structure that lets you accomplish your goals. Success Coaching can be the answer to your struggles with time management and organization.
Kundalini Yoga
I offer group and individual Kundalini Yoga Classes. Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is known as the Yoga of Awareness. It can help you lead a more joyful, vital and purposeful life. I'm passionate about sharing this beautiful practice that supports mental, physical and spiritual well being.
