Meet Abby
I’m a recovering Type A human who’s navigated depression since childhood - hence the love for unconventional! I find that I’m always one step (or ten!) ahead of what the norm is. I’m curious, inquisitive and hungry to learn.
I’m insatiable when it comes to learning, growing and evolving. Whether it’s a course, program, book, podcast, or article, you can always count on me to be broadening my horizons in some way. After graduate school, I wrote and published Coach Yourself to Flourish: A self-coaching program using mind-body interventions to help you thrive.
I hold numerous advanced training certifications in a variety of healing modalities, including yoga, meditation, reiki, energy healing and mindfulness. Below are a few:
Master’s of Science in Mind-Body Medicine from Saybrook University
Advanced trainings from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine
Laughter Yoga Certified Leader Training from Laughter Yoga International
Registered Yoga Teacher and continuing education provider for Yoga Alliance
I come alive and feel most magical when I’m leading groups and holding space. Whether it’s a group mindfulness training, a restorative yoga class, laughter meditation, or a group tarot reading, I love to rock the boat with what I explore and share with others. You and I both know the *magic* happens when we leave our comfort zone, and I offer a safe place to take those risks.
I’m committed to learning how I can be more inclusive, informed, and supportive of people and groups that are marginalized. I believe everyone has a right to be here, black lives matter, people should be able to love who they love, and women’s rights are human rights. I talk more about my values in this post.
I love laughter yoga and meditation because it helps me take life less seriously and (literally) laugh at my problems, and embrace a more playful spirit.
