About

I love to help people. I like adventure. As a young nurse, I joined the Public Health Service to work in Alaska. I worked in remote Indian and Eskimo villages. I flew in bush planes transporting patients to hospitals. I also worked in Fairbanks as the only nurse in a busy clinic, caring for Native American families. I helped build a log cabin and lived there without running water.

Fast-forward about 40 years. I spent a month living in a tent on an Ashram attending Yoga Teacher’s Training. Recently I visited India.

What did I do in the time in between? Fortunately, I became a parent and I worked as a nurse. Initially I worked in an urban area, clinic, caring for children with developmental disabilities. I became a Nurse Practitioner and acquired a Master’s Degree in Psychology.

I moved to upstate New York about 30 years ago. I lived in Columbia County, a magical place that inspired the name. “Peace Mountain Yoga”. The spaciousness put me at ease. I was grateful to live in an old farmhouse surrounded by mountains, farms and pastures. Recently my husband and I relocated to Great Barrington Ma, which is the foothills of the amazing Berkshires.  Great  Barrington is a small town, walkable to its many shops and cultural centers. 

Experience

My small  sunny, yoga studio in our new home allows me to offer private classes and consultation. I  also teach gentle yoga at the Mandala Yoga and Art Studio in Hillsdale, N.Y.  I continue my yoga training by  attending various certification programs such as accessible chair yoga. I am a certified chair yoga teacher . I am trained to teach Yin Yoga, restorative yoga and “Let Your Yoga Dance”. 

I  retired after a long career in Nursing. I worked with a diverse group of families including farm workers and immigrants. I always loved my work, especially the close connections made with families.

I am certified in Chair Yoga, Yoga for Arthritis, and “Let your Yoga Dance”.

I have a spiritual practice .

I love photography. I love dogs. I love long walks. I love wildflowers. I love to help people.

I am extremely grateful.
