I began practicing Thai in 2000 and am Advanced Certified in Thai Bodywork.  I practiced table massage for eight years before Thai arrived in my life.

I love to teach and have lead many professional trainings and Thai workshops and movement classes.  I am a graduate of Reed College.

I grew up dancing and am a student of tai chi, yoga and meditation.  I feel so fortunate to have begun my yoga studies in 1987 with someone who studied in India in the tradition of Krishnamacharya and Desikachar.  Practice always included asana, rest, pranayama and meditation, was aligned with the seasons and attuned to what was happening with the body at the time.   I continue to deepen my practice of this traditional Tantric approach to yoga, this science of health and well-being.

I began tai chi studies in 1993, learning tai chi as a martial art. This practical focus on the relationship between movement and what is moved has greatly informed my bodywork.

My community and the natural world continuesto be my most profound teachers. It is a true honor to meet people in the realities of all that life can bring.
