After graduating from Moorpark’s Exotic Animal Training and Management in program 1994, I pursued a career as a studio animal trainer. For the past 27 years, I have trained animals for film and tv for Studio A nimal Services . In addition to training animals for film and tv ( IMDB ), I do obedience training for private clients. I am excited to share my experience and knowledge of animal training with you. I will set up a training program that is designed specifically for you and your pet. 

In addition to training animals, I continued my education and diversified my knowledge and experience, becoming a yoga instructor in 2005. I have completed over 1,000 hours of yoga, mindfulness and meditation trainings. In 2017, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Holistic Health and Wellness, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. For the past 17 years, I have been a volunteer coordinator and mentor, designing peer leadership programs for young adults (aged 18-25) with heart disease, for Camp del Corazon . Part of the leadership program I coordinate includes yoga and meditation. I can custom tailor a yoga program for your needs, and health and fitness goals. 

Yoga has made me a better person and a better animal trainer. The connection of breath and movement, along with breath and training, creates more patience and balance.
