About Marnie
Offering Mind-Body practices for
all stages of life from birth to death.
My path to the present began in the late 90s when I turned to yoga for help with chronic pain, anxiety, and an addiction to opioids. As I began to recover, I found that I was learning the same spiritual principles on the mat as I was learning in my 12-step recovery meetings. This revelation opened up a whole new experience with my practice. I felt better physically and I found a new peace both mentally and spiritually. I knew then that I had to share what I was learning with others, and especially with my first love, children.
I started teaching kids yoga at schools in 2006 and it’s still one of my favorite groups to teach. I also partner with universities, corporations, treatment facilities, and studios to bring trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices to their students and employees. My intention is to help adults (and the children who love them) how to focus and feel better naturally in order to live a more regulated and stress free life.
In 2025, I trained with the International Doula Life Movement to become an End of Life Doula which allows me to work with others throughout all of their life stages. It’s an honor to provide support for my clients during this sacred time.
When I’m not practicing yoga, you can find me hiking, swimming, listening to podcasts, and traveling with my family.

Mission Statement:
At the heart of my practice is the belief that every stage of life deserves sacred attention. I offer compassionate, grounded support through yoga and end-of-life care, helping individuals and families navigate life’s transitions with dignity, mindfulness, and grace. Through gentle movement, breath, and deep listening, I hold space for healing—whether in times of growth, stillness, or transition from this life to the next. My mission is to honor the whole person: body, mind, and spirit—supporting them to live and die with peace, presence, and love.
“Your conflicts and all your difficult things, your problematic situations in life, are not chance haphazard, the are actually yours. They are actually designed for you by a part of you that loves your more deeply than anything else. That part of you that loves you more than anything created roadblocks to lead you to yourself.”
