Bio

She builds upon additional training opportunities where she has earned certificates as a Registered Yoga Teacher 200 hour, ChildLight Yoga Instructor, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, REACH Institute Patient-Centered Mental Health in Primary Care Mini-Fellowship, and is often trying a new recipe in the kitchen.
