ABOUT MARIE

My journey into alternative and holistic health began at a young age, inspired by the natural healing practices of my Caribbean upbringing.

When I became an expecting mom, my upbringing took on new significance. Although I had planned for a natural birth, my experience unfolded differently, with one intervention leading to another and resulting in a longer delivery. This experience lead me down a rabbit hole of research and inspired me to educate and advocate for new moms, becoming a certified Childbirth Educator and later a Doula.

I’ve always been active, starting dance at an early age. After becoming a mother, I sought new ways to move my body and stay mobile. This led me to yoga, which quickly became my sanctuary for unwinding and staying centered.

As a former dancer, I bring a deep understanding of movement, body awareness, and expression to my teaching. My yoga training has equipped me with expertise in proper pose alignment, cuing, breath work, and adjustments, ensuring my students practice safely and effectively. I create smooth class sequences that balance strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, offering modifications to accommodate all levels.

Drawing from my professional experience, dance background, and various certifications, I blend art and science in my approach to teaching. I offer a holistic approach that extends the benefits of yoga and meditation beyond the mat, creating an enriching experience for my students.
