About

Hi, I'm Crystal!

I'm so glad you're here! Let me tell you a little about how I found my way to this work.

I wasn't always a person who loved movement. In fact, I grew up being pretty inactive and didn't really understand my body or what it needed.

When I became pregnant at 32, I was dealing with a sore back, high blood pressure, and significant weight gain. I didn't know how to take care of my body, and honestly, I didn't know where to start.

Five years later, I had the opportunity to take a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yogshakti in Malaysia. I signed up for myself—not because I wanted to become a yoga teacher.

But something unexpected happened.

The practice changed me. I became more connected to my body, more aware of how I moved, and more curious about what my body was capable of. I experienced such a powerful transformation that I couldn't help but want to share it with others.

So, I started teaching.

Eight years later, I still love it!

I've spent most of that time teaching group classes, but over the years I started wanting more for the people who came to my classes. I wanted to be able to slow down, really see each person, understand what they were experiencing, and help them figure out what their body needed.

That's what led me to Yoga Therapy.

In 2025, I began studying with Susi at Functional Synergy. Over the past year, I've completed 100 hours of one-on-one coaching, and I've discovered just how much I love this deeper work.

I love helping people become curious about their bodies instead of frustrated by them. I love figuring out why something doesn't feel right, finding ways to work with the body rather than against it, and watching someone's confidence grow when they realize, “Oh! My body can do this.”

That's what I want for you, too.

You don't have to push through pain. You don't have to be afraid of movement. And you don't have to fit your body into someone else's idea of what movement should look like.

Let's figure out what works for you—and help you move with more ease, strength, and confidence.

I'd love to work with you!
