What an exciting year!

RCYT! I’m now a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher. This is 95 hour training and acknowledged by the Yoga Alliance. This training with Yoga Ed. and Breathe for Change included Trauma-Informed Yoga for Youth, Yoga for Children and Yoga for Teens. While I have integrated yoga into my work with children for 17 years, I now have the credential to make that official. I am now a Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT-200, and Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher. I am also in 300 hour training, and have completed Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Trauma-informed Yoga.

Almost finished: Berklee College of Music!

I went back to school in 2017 to pursue this music thing. I had written over a hundred songs, had taught over a thousand people with my unique ukulele method, Ukify™, and had performed a lot. I know my music was going somewhere and I had enough to give, that I needed to grow my skills so I could express what I have in my mind.

I completed a Master Certificate in Songwriting with Berklee College of Music just before the pandemic and now, I am about to complete my Bachelor’s of Arts in Songwriting, with a minor in Music Business Entrepreneurial studies. My commencement is this month, in Boston, and I will finish my final two courses in August. I started off using my GI Bill and have continued for eight years taking the classes I could between parenting, Frolicking and creating professional development for teachers. But that’s not all.

Somehow, I started a bachelors of Education in the process as well. This is a degree I have been working on since 2017, when I went back to school.

Simultaneously, I expect to finish my Master’s of Education in Social Emotional Learning, Mindfulness and Yoga in December. The research portion is coming in the Fall.

Thank you so much for being along on this journey!
