I began practicing yoga in the late 1990's. I became Yoga Alliance certified in 2002. I am a Certified Lifestyle Physician through the ACLM and an AOA Board Certified Neuromusculoskeletal physician who offers Osteopathic Manipulation (OMT). Over the last 20+ years I have worked in the field of health using yoga. The current focus of my practice is to help patients better their health through formal yogic exercise and lifestyle change.

I hold an M.S. in Exercise Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo. While working in cardiac rehab as an exercise physiologist, I began teaching yoga in the late 1990’s. My classes catered to patients with breast cancer at Fox Chase’s Complete Care and cardiopulmonary rehab at Mercy Haverford. I later started a yoga program at the Cleveland Clinic Florida to serve to both patients and employees alike. I was one of the earliest persons certified as an RYT-200 through the Yoga Alliance and am now YA certified as an YACEP, ERYT-200 / RYT-500 as well as C-IAYT (through the International Association of Yoga Therapists).

My intention to fuse yoga and health officially lead me to be accepted into an osteopathic training program at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) in 2003 to study hands-on adjustments. I have been an osteopathic physician since 2007. I did a rotating Internship at Abington Memorial Hospital in suburban Philadelphia geared towards Internal Med. I have specialty Board Certification in Lifestyle Medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. I run a private office in the Lehigh Valley offering non-surgical pain and health enhancing options for those with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and rheumatologist diseases. I am proud to be able to offer my clients a range of care.
