Demetra is a certified yoga teacher, trained Reiki Master and musical artist, and is passionate about sharing practices that elevate the life condition. Her immersive specialty classes and workshops integrate yoga, Reiki, sound and essential oils to create a state of deep meditation and facilitate healing.

Demetra received her 500-hour yoga teacher certification from YogaWorks in NYC. This training follows the lineage of Krishnamacharya, the 20th century Indian yoga teacher, Ayurvedic healer and scholar often referred to as “the father of modern yoga.” 

She began practicing yoga in earnest in 2001, studying myriad styles of yoga including vinyasa, ashtanga, hatha, Jivamukti, Bikram, Anusara, Iyengar, Sivananda, restorative and yin.

She leads guided meditations and incorporates this limb of yoga into her classes and workshops. Demetra has experienced the great joy of meditating with renowned Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, and holds his teachings in her heart with all that she offers.

Demetra is a certified Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner in the Usui Method of Natural Healing. Her Reiki practice includes treating private clients (both in person and via distance healing worldwide), leading healing circles and offering trainings. She also creates Reiki infused custom-made essential oil blends, which she utilizes in healing treatments, classes, and workshops.

As a sound healing practitioner, she combines her expertise in both the musical and healing arts to foster calm and enhance life force energy. Using chakra tuned crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, voice, chimes, tuning forks and other instruments, she creates vibrations and frequencies to guide recipients into deep states of meditation.

She holds a Master of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music, a Bachelor of Music from Northwestern University, and has worked as a professional performing artist in classical music and as a private music instructor for over 25 years.
