We Spread Health Office Manager

I have been a resident of Colorado since 1984 and love the outdoor active lifestyle. My husband Jim, and I have spent many weekends road and mountain biking, hiking, paddling class III and IV sections of whitewater and backcountry skiing in the Colorado mountains. Although we have scaled back and aren’t quite the adrenaline junkies we used to be, we still enjoy the great outdoors, especially hiking with our dog and doing long-distance cycling, which we just took up in the last couple of years.

In 2000, I started practicing yoga several times a week as an alternative to working out in a gym. I found yoga to be just what I needed to increase my strength and flexibility and relieve the stresses of a demanding job as an accountant for a large corporation.

After attending the Level I teacher training in Hawaii with Baron Baptiste in March 2004, I knew that yoga was going to be more than just another form of exercise. It was going to be a way of life. Since then I have attended many workshops and trainings to expand my knowledge. I have completed both the 200-hour Power Yoga and Hot Yoga certification programs through CorePower Yoga here in Denver.

I left the corporate world in September 2004 to teach yoga full time. After 3 years, I transitioned into a management role while continuing to teach and managed CorePower Yoga’s Ken Caryl studio for 5 years. I still teach yoga and learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Yoga changed my life, and I believe it is a gift that is meant to be shared.

I joined the We Spread Health team in mid-February 2013 as the Accounting/Office Manager. I have loved being a part of this amazing team and watching these studios grow from the ground up. It inspires me to be inspired and believe that anything is possible.

In addition to enjoying outdoor exercise, my regimen includes regular yoga practices at CorePower Yoga, classes at Orangetheory Fitness, bootcamp and cycling workouts. I love to relax as well and enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and vacationing anywhere tropical!
