The body is such a complex, miraculous source of great intelligence. All day, every day, our bodies are talking to us
through their many signals, emotions, and sensations. Drawing on a mix of proven somatic modalities, my work
connects people to their bodies so they can understand, harness, and heed the profound wisdom they offer.

Wellness Tools For Teams
Bring my somatic instruction to your business, organization or team to infuse wellness into everything you do.
When we fully inhabit our bodies, listen in, and learn how to be present to what we find there, we naturally move towards what is possible – whether it’s healing, transformation, peak performance, or growth wanting to happen.
Kind Words
I had the absolute pleasure of being a part of the first women’s group that Maddy hosted, and it was truly transformational. Before we started, I was uncertain about what part of me exactly needed healing, but the beauty of the practice that Maddy teaches is its ability to connect you with the part of yourself that does know. By the end of the last session, I emerged a changed person. Throughout the journey, Maddy emphasized that change can be subtle, but looking back I am genuinely amazed at the significant transformation I underwent in just 5 weeks.
The breathwork that Maddy teaches is simply unlike anything I have ever done, and I felt like it provided a depth of healing greater than months in traditional talk therapy. It was not only the breathwork but also the unique way Maddy facilitated the sessions that made the 5 weeks truly magical. She possesses an amazing ability to create a nurturing space for healing and transformation. I now feel a profound connection with myself, a sense of self-discovery I had been seeking for years, and a deep bond with the incredible women who shared this transformative journey with me. I cannot speak highly enough about Maddy and ANY work that she does.

Simply put this practice is one of the most transformative modalities I’ve experienced. You feel, you move, you process….it’s just so unique. And I know that sounds like it could be overwhelming, but I alway leave feeling so grounding and unified with myself. It’s allowed me to realize more than ever that all of the answers are within us; that there’s so much power in reconnecting with your body, and trusting yourself to feel and process whatever it is you need. Maddy is a one-of-a-kind facilitator - it’s as if she knows exactly what you need to hear and feel - through her affirmations, her energy, her music selection - She curates the perfect container for you to be held, to feel, and surrender to yourself.

Through working with Madeleine 1:1 and attending group breathwork classes my body has felt safe and my nervous system has felt regulated for the first time in years, so much so, I regain my cycle after years of not having one.

I currently manage the intern program at my company and I have really enjoyed partnering with Madeleine on many types of mindfulness sessions over the past few years. We were able to host multiple "Mindfulness Monday" sessions during peak recruiting season as a way to engage with prospective candidates, and also give them a nice break during the busy school year. We also asked Madeleine to lead multiple summer events where she provided a buffet of tools that our interns could put into practice during their internship experience. We also utilized 1:1 sessions where our interns could opt-in to sessions with Madeleine in a smaller setting. Year over year, we've seen the value these sessions bring to our interns and hope we can find ways to expand these offerings on a larger scale in the future.

I started seeing Madeleine for support in helping me heal from a past relationship and target some major self-doubt related to my new career path (and personal life). I purchased a five-pack of sessions and saw her once a week for five weeks. Thanks to working with her, I am a completely different person in the best possible sense. I love who I am and who I am becoming. The breathwork and reflecting on my life situations with her helped me focus on more self-compassion and self-love. For the first time in my life, I love myself, have confidence, and can set healthy boundaries and overall live with intention and integrity while being gentle with myself and giving myself permission to just be. My advice to others is to have an open mind and trust the process and Madeleine.

Madeleine's classes are a fantastic way to break up the work day. I love her focus on intention and the way she highlights the benefits to our nervous system during practice. She has helped make yoga something I can incorporate easily into my everyday life, and I am so grateful for that! Thank you Madeleine!

From the moment you meet Madeleine, you feel completely at ease and fall into a trusting space. When you step into her studio you can tell she has intentionally crafted an environment you can safely open in. As a new mom I have personally struggled with anxiety, lack of sleep, and overall life changes. By going to Madeleine's breathwork and allowing her to guide/heal me has been transformational and I recommend it to everyone and anyone. I'm grateful for her gift and sharing it with the world.

Madeleine's class is customized and refreshing. I thoroughly enjoyed her presence and attitude toward movement. She created an approachable space for all levels of yogis to benefit. I can't recommend her enough!
Sara H. | VP Peoples of Operations of Ontraport
Madeleine is a breath of fresh air. We have partnered to host a mindfulness and gratitude webinar series along with onsite weekly yoga classes to build our employee community back together. Her kindness and expertise allows a space for our employees to take a personal wellness check and release stress and anxiety, and learn about the importance of regulating their nervous systems. Very important in our busy lives and the climate of modern day society!
