I am a writer and editor. Also a yoga teacher. And I am passionate about both!

Like most experiences, the road to this multi-faceted career was neither linear nor predictable. 

I spent almost two decades as an Assistant Director on commercials, feature films, and long-form television before I received an MFA in Creative Writing from USC. That background informed my ability to serve a director’s vision and write treatments that reflect their voice. Over the years, I’ve cultivated ongoing relationships with production companies in the U.S. and abroad.

 I also wrote a memoir called No Place Like OM, which details my hero’s journey story from trauma through depression to liberation. You can read about it here: Memoir.

Throughout my fitness career — from dance to running to competitive bodybuilding —yoga has been a component of my life, and an integral part of my Long-and-Strong™ training work with clients. In addition to being a Certified Personal Trainer, I am also a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher.   

Over the years, I developed the FAR™ approach to yoga asana, which emphasizes Foundation, Alignment, and Resistance. I thrive on making the practice accessible to every body, regardless of age, body type, or level of fitness.
