I am a Certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioner.
I work closely with a wide variety of clients looking for answers to personal dilemmas, self-improvement, relaxation, or healing from physical, mental, or emotional illness and injury. The responses I receive from clients show me the power and importance of the work and motivates me in my own practice.
My best education has been my life experiences. This is how I supplement it:
My background is both deep and wide. Besides my work as a Certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practitioner, I've worked as an illustrator, a photographer in advertising, an educator at the college level, in blue collar constuction, and property management. I continue to dance Contact Improv, Ecstatic, and Jazz improv. I have a commitment to our environment that is an extension of my yoga practice and my dance with life. I am committed to service and further developing my intuitive skills with yoga, meditation, dance, and art.

RYT and Shawn released past emotions I didn't realize I had. With his encouragement and dedication to the client, Shawn was able to help me begin to notice the past pain I had been holding. The work is lasting because my body starting feeling different....more open and available.![]()
Shawn is amazing! He is gentle, compassionate and confident. Yoga therapy with Shawn not only helps you move deeper physically but emotionally as well. When I left my body felt better but, more importantly I had a spiritual experience that led to life changing realization. I couldn't recommend him more.![]()
