Hi I am Maddi a 200 hour certified yoga asana instructor, a Somatic Counselor, and a non-profit consultant. I love working with individuals and groups; helping them to discover themselves through movement and meditation. I believe that yoga is a tool that can help to empower individuals and communities by embodying their experiences and strengthening their innate intuition.

I have a background in human and community development with a BA from Hanover College, and two years serving with AmeriCorps Public Allies. I have a passion for helping individuals and communities to thrive and I hope to bring that passion to every class I facilitate. As a former Public Ally, service, leadership, and social justice are all very important to me. And I continue to explore the intersection between wellness and social justice.

Presently, I am making a big life transition after graduating with a MA in Somatic Counseling Body Psychotherapy from Naropa University.  Somatic counseling and the contemplative practices from Naropa continue to influence my teachings. I will continue to offer public classes through June of 2024, after this time I will be moving and considering what teaching looks like in my next phase of life. Yoga as a practice will also be personal and influential to me, and now I am considering what that might look like as my community and career develop and change.

Personally, I am a dog mom, wife, sister, and friend. I love all things Shonda Rhimes. I love to read and listen to books. I like to travel, especially to Disney World. I love a good cup of tea and a chat. And I love to learn, especially in group settings.
