    Peace in the Pause

    Sometimes the hardest part of slowing down is giving yourself permission to pause. To listen, to do less, to allow for more space, to take care of yourself and, in turn, come back better & stronger. To embrace the peace in the pause. I developed this podcast to offer you the opportunity to pause. I’ll share weekly episodes that invite you to enjoy different types of meditation and breathing practices. I’ll also share short sessions of mindful movement you can do in a chair or at your desk to bring ease to your body as well as guided restorative yoga poses to ground and restore your body. I look forward to you joining me and taking time in your day to find your peace in the pause.
