About/Bio

On this site I share tips and resources on yoga and overall health and wellness. You will also find information on Sjogren’s, Celiac, and other autoimmune diseases. I am a Sjogren’s and Celiac patient and like to share resources and practical information that help me as I navigate the autoimmune journey.

I began practicing yoga in 1996 and I have been teaching since 2010. My classes tend to be small and are made up of those who might not feel comfortable or confident in a yoga studio setting.  My private yoga sessions focus on stress management and working with the parasympathetic nervous system to bring the body and mind into balance and overall health and wellness. I offer yoga for the workplace and teach both mat classes and chair yoga classes.

When I am not teaching or studying yoga, I am a freelance writer and copy editor. By trade, I am a Technical Writer but no one really knows what a technical writer writes and technical writing is a broad field.  So when asked “What do you do?” I say that I am a writer and editor. I write content that educates, informs, or persuades and I write content for the yoga and health and wellness communities. I write blog posts, articles, marketing emails, ebooks, and offer copyediting, and proofreading services.

For nonprofit clients I write grants and fundraising materials. Writing services include direct mail copy, grant research, grant writing, grant management, and email blasts. I also provide project management, copyediting, and proofreading services. Need something else? Just ask. I’d love to help.
