Namaste and welcome to Emotive Body Psychology, where transformation starts within.

 

I'm a practicing Yoga Therapist based in Bellingham, Wa.

 

After earning a doctorate in psychology, I worked 16 years as a clinical psychologist for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Experiencing firsthand yoga's power to unite mind, body and spirit, I brought it to the prison and witnessed its calming effects on the inmates.

​

I fell in love with the Amrit Method of Yoga in 2009, when I first met Yogi Amrit Desai, and his daughter, Kamini, who founded the Amrit Yoga Institute in Salt Springs, Fl.

​

Yoga Therapy won me over. It's more effective at reaching the subconscious than psychotherapy. I know this because I’ve worked on both sides of the fence — I've observed people who underwent years of psychotherapy to no avail, and then saw a handful of Yoga Therapy sessions resolve their issues.

​

In addition to the therapy I offer at Emotive Body Psychology, I'm a:  

​

• Senior faculty member at the Amrit Yoga Institute, where I lead professional training in the Amrit Method of Yoga Therapy and the Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra ​

• Certified member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists

• Certified in I AM Yoga (ERYT-500)

• Sierra Club member and contributor

• Supporter of Desert Botanical Garden and the Center for Biological Diversity
