About Us

As a certified yoga instructor and life coach, I have completed nearly 350 hours of yoga training.  I have completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training and am currently pursuing my 300-hour certification.  I am a member of the Yoga Alliance and the International Coaching Federation and committed to ongoing personal and professional development.

The Feminine Bliss Yoga club is a community that provides an inclusive environment for all body types and abilities to connect with yourself, nature and the community. We practice self-acceptance and non-judgment and encourage listening to our bodies and staying present in the moments we share together.  

I specialize in feminine yoga movement and healing.  I am certified in meditation and mindfulness, ayurvedic feminine wellness and longevity.  Additionally, I am a trauma informed yoga instructor with an emphasis on somatic movement and sensory enhanced yoga for self-regulation and trauma healing.   

According to American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson- “life is a journey, not a destination” - so is weight loss. As you embark on your journey of weight loss, I am here to support you in your personal journey to end your battle with weight forever. 

I have been a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner for the past 10 years. I am post-master’s degree in psychiatric nursing as well as a master's degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.   The types of services I offer include assistance in obtaining GLP1 and GLP1/GIP medication to support your weight loss journey. I implement evidence-based practice of medication prescribing and management of all patients.  I am not a stranger to weight issues and weight loss. I look forward to assisting patients who are seeking help with their own weight loss journey. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and look forward to serving you. 

BACKGROUND

I have known since childhood I want to be a nurse, as a child I cared for stray animals and skinned knees on friends and neighborhood children. I wanted to be in a role that would allow me to encourage, offer hope, and improve quality of life for others. When I reached my dream of becoming a Registered Nurse and FNP, I have worked with children, teens, and adults in behavioral crisis. As a result of seeing a great need for mental health providers, I returned to school to receive my degree to provide psychiatric services to all ages. My experiences have served me well in understanding children, teens, and adults.

People are people first... not a disease or diagnosis. Each one is an individual with unique and individual needs, no two people alike. IT is my goal to always support you as a person first, to support you in this journey and offer hope. I value each patient as an incredible participant of this life and our world. I will always treat you in a compassionate, respectful, and understanding manner and treat you as the exceptional person you are.  

PRACTICE APPROACH

My goal is to offer hope and an improved quality of life to patients with a desire to gain health, lose weight, and maintain a healthy relationship with food.
