What's the difference between Yoga and Yoga Therapy?
Whereas traditional Yoga is a popular form of movement, breathwork and awareness, often done in a group setting, Yoga Therapy aims at the holistic path to health and healing of various kinds of psychological or somatic dysfunctions ranging from back problems to emotional distress.

I have a health condition and/or an injury, is it safe to do Yoga Therapy?
Many of my clients come to me navigating a health challenge—whether it’s mental health, pain, injury, surgery recovery or preparation, managing a chronic condition or pregnancy.
The beauty of yoga therapy is that it’s fully customized to you. No one-size-fits-all here. We’ll create practices that support your body’s unique needs, ensuring each pose and technique is both safe and beneficial for your healing journey.
And of course, always consult your healthcare provider. If you’re working with a psychologist, physical therapist, massage therapist, or another practitioner, I’m happy to collaborate with your care team to further support your recovery and well-being.
Can Yoga Therapy and Wellness Coaching help me even if I'm not sick or injured?
Absolutely! Yoga therapy isn’t just for those managing health conditions—it’s a holistic practice that enhances your overall well-being.
For instance, physical yoga poses can improve your posture, flexibility, strength, and balance, leaving you feeling more vibrant and energized. Breathwork and meditation help reduce stress, improve sleep, and even strengthen your relationships.
When we work together, it’s helpful to have a wellness goal in mind—whether it’s improving balance, easing stiffness, or simply feeling more at home in your body.
Yoga therapy is for anyone seeking greater health and vitality.
What is Ayurvedic Nutrition Coaching and how is it different from going to a Nutritionist or Dietitian?
Ayurvedic Nutrition Coaching is a holistic and personalized approach to food and lifestyle rooted in the ancient Indian system of Ayurveda. Rather than focusing solely on calories or food groups, it takes into account your unique mind-body constitution (dosha), digestion (agni), current imbalances, and even the time of year to support overall well-being.
It's important to note that Ayurvedic Nutrition Coaching is not a replacement for working with a licensed dietitian or nutritionist. As an Ayurvedic Nutrition Coach, I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Instead, I work alongside the plans prescribed by licensed professionals, offering supportive guidance through the lens of Ayurveda. My role is to be a resource and a guide—helping you implement changes that align with your body’s natural rhythms and supporting sustainable wellness.
Do you work with couples or small groups?
Yes! I’ve worked with many couples, particularly for birth preparation and deepening connection. I’ve also guided small groups of close friends supporting each other toward a shared goal. Package rates will be adjusted to reflect the additional planning and preparation.
Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss what works best for you!
What happens after I finish my Yoga Therapy and Wellness Coaching package?
By the end of our time together, many of my clients feel confident enough to continue their yoga practice on their own.
That said, consistency is key, and ongoing support can make a big difference. Once your package is complete, we can explore options like regular private sessions, periodic check-ins, or group classes—whatever aligns with your goals and needs.
Everyone’s journey is unique, and I’m here to support you in whatever way serves you best.
What should I wear and bring to the Yoga Therapy and Wellness Coaching sessions?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and allows you to move freely! No need for fancy yoga gear—some of my clients even wear their everyday clothes to our sessions.
Typically, yoga is done barefoot, so you’ll want to be ready to slip off your shoes and socks. But if you need to wear shoes for any reason (like a brace or neuropathy), we’ll easily adapt the practice to suit your needs—no worries at all!
I would also suggest having a journal or something you can write in, on hand. Plus, depending on what we're working towards, I may suggest you have certain other props like blocks, pillows, blankets, a yoga strap, etc. If you don't have a specific prop, we can always work around what you do have available at home!
Life happens and I understand. In the event that you cannot attend an appointment, it can be made up as long as you give 48 hours notice. Any appointment missed, late cancelled, or changed without 48 hours notice will result in a charge equal to 100% of the reserved service amount. The appointment may be taken off a package or charged individually.
All sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Wellness Coaching & Private Yoga packages expire 3 months after purchase, unless otherwise denoted.
Phones must be turned off while in the sessions to give yourself a well deserved break.
Terms and Policies are subject to change.
