And I’d love to share these practices with you–whether that’s woven into a nutrition session, an iRest co-meditation, or one of my workshops (Seattle and virtual).

Integrative Restoration (iRest) is a modern adaptation of the ancient practice of yoga nidra (aka Non Sleep Deep Rest) that incorporates clinical psychology and neuroscience to cultivate a sense of ease and security.
 
Known as “tools for life,” iRest helps you to meet whatever life is bringing you from a resourced place.

I’ve personally found these teachings to be profound, deep and life-changing.

The tools are highly accessible (I often practice while in bed or doing chores!) and available to everyone regardless of ability or circumstances.

iRest 1:1 sessions are co-regulation meditations, welcoming you just as you are.

You don’t need prior meditation experience.

You don’t need to sit a certain way. You don’t need to “clear your mind.”

We simply work with what’s already here, meeting it from a resourced place.

My trauma-informed approach to yoga centers choice and empowerment.

Every movement is an invitation, not an instruction.

You get to decide what feels supportive and what your body needs in each moment.

Students typically leave class feeling more grounded and connected.

Meet Your Yoga & iRest Teacher

As someone who has lived primarily in my head for years, I think it’s kind of funny that I teach yoga. But as the saying goes, we teach what we most need to learn.

I don’t teach as some “sage on the stage,” but as a fellow human who is continually learning and practicing, grateful for the chance to do so openly and in community. I’m particularly excited to share iRest tools with others as an accessible way to increase confidence, ease and regulation (which also supports your relationship with food and body).

There are so many parallels to how we relate with food and how we relate with ourselves and life. I think the same is true for body-centered practices like yoga. As my teacher Hala Khouri likes to say, “We practice on the mat so we can practice off the mat.” Over time, with practice, we can cultivate a real sense of body wisdom and self-trust.

I invite you to check out one of my classes or workshops–offered in the Seattle area and online–or to reach out about a 1:1 session tailored to your needs.

Let’s practice together.
