When I'm not managing the day-to-day operations of Blue Lotus, I'm likely feeding and chauffeuring my sons. I also enjoy spending time with my handsome, loveably neurotic husband, snuggling my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and binge watching serial killer docuseries.

Hey—a girl's gotta unwind.

​

While I've always been an active person, I held a deep hatred for the stair master and traditional gym workouts. In 2000, some friends invited me to a yoga class at the Baptiste Power Yoga Studio in Boston, MA (conveniently leaving out the fact that the room would be heated to 99 degrees).

Dehydration aside, I enjoyed it. The practice reminded me of my early days as a gymnast and dancer. And while I noticed improvements to my strength and flexibility, the emotional benefits were what kept me coming back. I always left class feeling relaxed and more balanced.

In 2005 I had my first child and subsequently put my marketing career on hold. It was at that time yoga became less of a hobby and more of a lifeline. Nine years and two additional kids later, I received my 200-hour yoga teacher certification, and in 2018 I opened Blue Lotus Yoga Studio.
