Chase the Light Wellness empowerS YOU to create Your own happiness and live an authentic, fulfilled, and healthy life.

Grounded in the belief that the way we do one thing is the way we do everything, I use both physical movement and personal inquiry as tools to help you see what's possible when drop what you know, change your expectations, and get out of your own way — what you uncover and achieve during the process might surprise you.

wellness coaching

Through coaching, you'll determine how you want wellness — physical health, your career, stress management, relationships — to feel in your life. We'll work together to bridge the gaps between where you are right now and where you want to go.

I offer group workshops on creating balance, establishing sustainable wellness systems, and mindful leadership — working with others to promote growth also helps you connect empathetically and build your own supportive community

One of the best ways to learn about yourself is to discover and challenge your physical edge. Roll out your mat, hop on a bike, or hang upside down in a hammock with me — we'll team up to work hard, sweat, and grow together.

I'm a wellness coach, teacher, and writer. I empower people to create their own happiness, and I live authentically in my own.

my philosophy

Through my work, I help others find their own path to wellness and fulfillment. It is my core belief that mindfulness and physical movement — yoga, pilates, cycling, walking, running, lifting weights, or even just breathing — are powerful tools to help us discover who we are and who we want to be out in the world.

My first love is yoga — it inspired me to start my journey of working with others, and it informs everything else that I do. I think of the mat as a research facility where we can observe ourselves, our habits, our impulses, the voices that shout "You've got this!" or the ones the creep in and whisper "Give up." I offer this experience by giving you the space to see what's happening in your mind and body as you challenge yourself — whether it's during a sweaty yoga class or in a powerful coaching session. Once you are comfortable recognizing emotions, feelings, and roadblocks in one area, you can begin to see how they show up in the rest of your life and do the work to move them out of the way.

The moon has always inspired me — it's loosely incorporated into my business theme, and I have a lunar cycle tattoo as a reminder that change is always an option and that nothing is permanent. The moon doesn't give off it's own light; in order for us to see it, something else has to shine. As a coach and instructor, that's my role — I encourage you to chase your own light and shine brightly so that others around you can be inspired by your glow.

let's get social

I keep a running log of my daily life, which mostly consists of food, my husband's garden, and #tbt pics of vacations past. 

Tea with a @deathcabforcutie soundtrack. 👍🏼 It’s always nice to have a friend to help hold you up... 👯‍♀️ Co-leading partner yoga with my forever-twin and fellow #Satya yoga grad @kate.quick next Thursday! 5:45 - 7pm at @pypstudio. We’ve got some great poses to help you unwind and connect with your best yoga buddy! 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️ (Big thanks to @bethy_pooo for this 📸 and for witnessing our opposite body proportions 😉) #partneryoga #buddyyoga #statecollegeyoga #yogapose One of the simple pleasures of adulthood is getting to move the countdown Santa every morning, just like I loved doing with the countdown mouse as a kid. ❤️🎄🎅🏼 Here’s what’s going on this month for me — and I want you to join in! 🌲 Manifest mini sessions (December only!), partner yoga, and studio classes to hit all of your needs. Let’s celebrate the season together! ❄️☃️ #manifest #motivation #partneryoga #statecollegeyoga #statecollegefitness #barreburn #aerialfitness #aerialyoga #indoorcycle I’ve been working from my couch for the past week because I can’t stand to be away from my big Christmas tree in the living room... but my back and neck and general productivity are all happier when I’m in my office. So, hello little office tree! It’s already making the work days so much brighter, and it’s not even December yet! 🎄❤️ #thelittlethings #tinytree Bring a friend or make a new one! Thursday, Dec 13 at 5:45pm. @kate.quick and I are cooking up a fun partner practice! • #pypstudio #poweryourpossibilities #groupfitness #fitnessmotivation #fitness #statecollegefitness #statecollege #pennstatefitness #pennstate #psu #mindbody #yogafacts #yogaposes #yogabody #yogafit #partneryoga #yogaworkshop PRESENCE presents!🎄🎁 Before the holiday season takes its toll, get a jump on the new year and give yourself the gift of clarity and purpose. I’m offering a limited number of ✨ MANIFEST MINI SESSIONS ✨ to give you whatever you want for 2019. Reserve your spot at the link in my bio or bit.ly/mini-manifest! (Spots open December 1-21!) ••• During the 45-minute session, we'll design a meaningful affirmation and co-create a way to incorporate it into your life to bring about positive change for the new year. Words have power -- let's harness it for good! ❤️💚 Grateful for full plates, bellies, glasses, tables, homes, and hearts. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️🦃🍴🥧🍁 #thanksgiving #begrateful First Sunday at home without guests since... August? This calls for pumpkin pancakes, maple syrup, hot coffee, and salty bacon. 🥞☕️🥓 (and as much as I complain about the snow, it gives my kitchen table the most glorious light!) #sundaypancakes #breakfastofchampions 🎤 drop from @erich_schiffmann. ••• This is why I practice and share yoga — to find presence and intention on the mat until it becomes a habit in the rest of my life. ••• How often do we just go through motions, searching for ways to distract from what we’re doing, just working to get through it? And in between those routines, we might be lucky enough to get lost in the present, in the “doing of it,” in the slowed down time of total immersion. But those moments aren’t just for the lucky — that magic is available in everything. We just have to choose to be interested, choose to pay attention, choose to feel the experience for all that it is. ••• Erich doesn’t say we have to love every second, but the quality of our life depends on how involved, attuned, aware we are of the actual doing. So open your eyes, breathe deeper, lean into the feeling of right now — get deeply, fully interested in your life... and the yoga will follow. ❤️✨ #getinterested #bepresent #feelit 🎤 drop from @erich_schiffmann. ••• This is why I practice and share yoga — to find presence and intention on the mat until it becomes a habit in the rest of my life. ••• How often do we just go through motions, searching for ways to distract from what we’re doing, just working to get through it?

Snow is pretty and all, but I’m really missing the sunshine and beach (and that buzzed impulse-buy hat). ☀️ Happy bourbon season. 🥃 #oldfashionedsshouldnothavefruit
Be a creator. ✨ #bluewave #changeisnow Accurate. 🗳🐺 #govote #pleasevote #ragevoting The only photo I snapped this weekend was of my 3 beverages and multiple snacks... it takes a village of food and drink to keep me alive and energized through YTT weekends. Not pictured: the giant, haphazard mess of books, pens, papers, and props also required to support me, along with the astounding women who lit up the whole weekend with their joy, courage, and love. ❤️❤️❤️ @yosoysatya #satya #thankyoumoreplease #fillyoursoulwell Happy Halloween! 🍬🍭🎃👻 . . . (Props to my mom for consistently finding highly personal and amusing cards for all occasions and for sending 2 because they were both perfect.) . . . #happyhalloween #glutenfreehalloween #lovemymummy #funnycards When your barre class is cancelled, you gotta muster up some motivation and do it anyway. 🙄 Teaching others is so much easier than teaching myself. #barre #barreathome #whereareyoumotivation
