You don’t need to struggle with the very-real symptoms of perimenopause and menopause on your own, wasting time and energy, trying to figure out how to bring yourself up to a front burner (and leave some of that mom bod behind).

You don’t have to be overwhelmed by the ongoing chaos of life.

You don’t need to settle for yoga & workouts that only get you so far toward your goals.

You can steadily build a functional practice and workout routine that fits your life — and through it, build resilience, strength, and calm — so you can get “in the zone” on the regular and feel amazing.

Function & Flow is the only all-in-one membership with everything you need to know about strength-based yoga for midlife women:

• Progressively challenging workouts & practices (“programming”) that goes beyond the experience of random one-off yoga classes

• step-by-step expert guidance for adding strength (the cornerstone of fitness and health)

• modifications and variations (start at ANY level), plus

• community support to transform your struggling workout and yoga practice routines.

I help you discover how your body and mind can move well and feel great.

My expert guidance is based on decades of my own strength-based yoga practice to overcome chronic pain & training with biomechanics experts….and my work helping dozens of private clients do the same.

About me

My goal is to empower you to build your body’s capability, quiet your mind, settle your nervous system, and bring your best to whatever you’re doing as a midlife woman.

I’m the mother of two, and the creator of several online practice courses & a private movement coach who’s helped hundreds of students:

• build bone density, muscle mass, and range of motion

• create routines that work and last

• increase their sense of peace and calm, even in the midst of chaotic life

I’m a former yoga teacher trainer and international retreat leader, and I’m also a professional organizer on the side (thus my obsession with systems that work).

I hold many degrees and certifications: B.S., E-RYT 500 yoga certification, 100-hr Steel Mace Vinyasa teacher, Yoga Detour teacher, Kula Flow teacher, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Plus, I have completed more biomechanics and yoga trainings than I can count. I worked for 17 years in software industry before jumping ship to teach movement full time, so I’m a bit of a tech maven.

Based in Santa Cruz, California, I live with my architect-husband, Mark, and with whichever of my two amazing young adult kiddos who happen to be staying with us at the time, plus our two kitty cats, Felix and Merlin.

Let’s do this.
