Her Inspiration:
As an undergraduate student, I was introduced to the connection between “mind, body and spirit” through yoga. This understanding became a vital component of learning how to navigate challenges and empowered me to chart my own life’s course. In turn, I am inspired when clients achieve their goals and dreams through the complex and rewarding clinical journey.
