About the Teacher

Why study with them?

ReWild Wellness and Bodywork is located in beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado inspired by my passion to connect others to themselves through the power of consistent mindfulness practices, embodied movement, therapeutic body work, nutrition, and immersion amongst the natural world.



I am a life-long lover for all things that involve the outdoors. I grew up hiking in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and received my Bachelors of Science in Biology from Virginia Commonwealth University with an emphasis on Ecology. My passion for the outdoors led to many years working and teaching youth in the field of Outdoor Education and then later in Wilderness Therapy. I have devoted most of my life to exploring what it means to live a life driven by love and authenticity. I was raised in the Buddhist tradition by my parents but found my yoga practice and the sport of rock climbing at a low point in my early twenties. The embodiment practice of yoga coupled with the connection to nature I felt in rock climbing, brought a new Presence to my life. The passions of both have led to a teacher certification in yoga, exploring any and all sports in the outdoors, as well as living and working in the outdoors as a way to connect with myself and with the world.


While field guiding in Wilderness Therapy, I witnessed and experienced: deep pain, joy, doubt, adversity, love, authenticity, and community. The wilderness was the womb for authenticity to be nurtured. I have witnessed incredible change and power in people who were seemingly helpless. We are all walking around with this immense power, and my mission in this life is to help others to remember this Truth. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) in the state of Colorado with the intent to facilitate deeper healing within others. With daily mindfulness practices, yoga, balanced nutrition, and communion with nature, we can learn to work with what comes up and out. Learning to know the Self takes a lifetime(s) of practice, and with ReWild Wellness we can start your practice today with some basic tools to integrate into your every day life. Let us work together to build the pathways of compassion for oneself and others. Let us move towards a more natural way of life with grace and ease.

Who wouldn't want to feel the immense power that resides within?!


In her classes you can expect an emphasis on the 'why' and how asana can purify the body while teaching us great lessons if we listen. Her depth of knowledge in anatomy through her bodywork practice adds to her emphasis on alignment and energetics. You may also expect traditional devotional practices such as: sanscrit, pranayama, mantra, and meditation practice in her group classes. She often closes her class with a devotional mantra or song from her heart.


Her everyday life experience is the foundation for her teaching and how she relates to her students. She believes her life's work is to help others remember their essence, their infinite greatness.
