Mind The Bend

er Tammy, I embarked on my initial Teacher Trainings in 2007, and began teaching publicly in 2008. My teaching has bloomed through many incarnations over the years, and I am beyond honored to share my knowledge as a yoga educator through group and private yoga + movement classes, and yoga teacher mentorships. Along the way, due to injury and illness, I became curious about the healing powers that we hold within our bodies…and the ways in which we (ourselves) and others can facilitate that healing—physically and energetically. I began studying energy healing—Reiki, Biofield Therapy, Luminous Energy Healing, and Pranic Healing. I sat with these modalities for several years each—in child-like wonder, and in order to integrate them so that I could fully embody them. It is my hope to share with you these ways to empower you to heal yourself. YOU are your greatest healer. Music…oh my love, music! I cannot imagine a life without music. I began studying music in early childhood and even made a career out of it—as an orchestral musician and professor. The moment I played my first set of crystal singing bowls, I knew that sharing sound healing (in this way) was part of my life’s path—to facilitate and educate others on the healing power of frequency and vibration. As a result of the persistence of my teacher Mary (and my dear friends Sarah and Erika), I have begun to use my voice as an instrument to encourage peace and healing. Over the past 9 years, my sound healing practice has transformed my life to be lighter, more integrated, and more deeply grounded. I am extremely grateful to have been blessed with amazing teachers and mentors on my journey thus far, several with whom I continue to study. Many of my biggest teachers are my students, and to you all I am eternally grateful. Currently, I am registered with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT-500, YACEP. I hold multiple 200 hour certifications in different styles, because I believe the study of yoga to be a lifelong endeavor. I am a Lead Yoga Teacher Trainer, a Certified Vibrational Sound Healer, Reiki Master, Pranayama Facilitator, Crystal Reiki Master, EFT AND TFT Practitioner, Biofield Energy Therapist, Somatic Movement Practitioner, Pure Barre Certified, Mat Pilates Certified, and am completing certifications in Kundalini Yoga and Ayurveda. Thank you for spending time and energetic currency reading about my path to “the now”. I would be honored to walk with you, to help guide you as you invest in yourself on your life’s journey.
