“I want to give a huge shout out to Tracy Stonaker who is a complete badass mama! Her sense of humor, energy, and intellect inspired me to dream big and realize my potential. Thank you so much for the encouragement and love! I now have a new perspective and am not so hard on myself if I do not adhere to all the habits religiously. I am kinder to myself and am not beating myself up. This feels so much better to me. Ironically, it is motivating me in a more authentic way to get curious without judgement. As a result, I am naturally choosing healthy habits the majority of the time. Amen sister!”
WHO I AM
I’m a mom to 2 spectacular humans.
They are my best creations.
My longest relationship outside of family? Phish.
It’s a spiritual thing, and it’s been over 30 years. I LOVE Phish. Don’t be surprised to hear me quote their songs often…you know, things like “set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul…” Ummmm…ok!!!
My second longest relationship? Yoga.
I’ve been immersed in and teaching Yoga for over 25 years. I love clearing up the confusion around Yoga. Asana is NOT Yoga. It is a part of Yoga. It’s like saying your arm is your whole body…now that’s kind of weird, right? Yoga is a VERY vast science. And the movement (asana) practice is a big part of the whole, but the ultimate goal of Yoga is union of mind + body + spirit to Universal Consciousness. I can talk your ear off about Yoga…and Ayurveda.
I’m studying to become a Doctor of Ayurveda.
In the hopes that the western world will soon recognize this gift from ancient India as a licensed profession, I want to be ready.
I study Functional Medicine and Epigenetics as a means to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western Medicine.
Epigenetics and f(x) medicine are beginning to give a western voice to the ancient science of Ayurveda. I’m always excited when the advances of today’s research validate everything that Yoga and Ayurveda have been saying for what,…10,000 years or so??!! Pretty cool.
My weakness is ice cream.
Don’t judge. We all have one. Few people know that I used to put down a half gallon at a time while watching Seinfeld. Yum.
I laugh…a lot.
Mostly at myself…I’m a total goofball.
I curse…a lot.
Why the hell not?? Please don’t be offended…it’s out of passion.
I LOVE DOGS.
Enough said.
I’m feisty.
I’m a no nonsense, straight-shooter and I take no shit.
It’s all from a place of passion.
