The mind and body can not be separated. Mental, physical, and emotional patterns manifest in the whole person, and in a multitude of ways. When energy becomes stuck, is overactive, or is lacking, energetic blockages and gaps occur that affect the whole mind-body system. These blockages can lead to injury, sickness, confusion, anxiety, and more. I help clients to release what is stuck, strengthen what is weak, and soften what is overly strong. A balanced body/mind is both strong and supple, in movement and when at rest.

Align was born out of the desire to offer education and tools for the body to restore its natural integrity, functioning with efficiency and ease. Pilates, Yoga, and Reiki are three modalities that help achieve balance, enhanced and nurtured by professional support. My goal is to help you align with your body's innate higher functioning, and to hold space for you to align with your highest self.
