Yoga entered my life early and became a way of reconnecting with safety, agency, and a sense of belonging within myself. Over time, this personal practice evolved into a professional calling. Today, I am a yoga facilitator with over two decades of practice and extensive training in trauma-informed methodologies, and the founder of Mitra: Healing Centered Yoga.

My work is shaped by more than twenty years of dedicated practice and more than 500 hours of advanced training in trauma-informed methodologies. This foundation allows me to offer practices that integrate adaptive movement, mindfulness, and a deep respect for autonomy, with an understanding of how trauma can shape the body, breath, and nervous system.

Accessibility and community partnership are central to my approach. Before founding Mitra, I organized community-based fundraiser offerings to support local advocacy and racial justice efforts. Since starting Mitra, I have partnered with incredible organizations across Hampshire and Hampden counties to bring trauma-informed yoga directly into spaces serving individuals who are often excluded from traditional wellness settings.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: people are not broken. Healing is not linear, and it isn’t something to be forced. Yoga offers a way back to the body, the breath, and to the inner wisdom that has always been present. My role is to hold space with care, clarity, and respect, so others can reconnect on their own terms.
