Margo's curiosity in natural health, herbal medicine and yoga began when she was in her teens. This sparked her interest to study western herbal medicine while earning a BS in Botanical and Health Sciences and later an MA in Education.


Her love of yoga brought her to India to study at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, one of the leading educational institutions for yoga therapy in India, under T.K.V. Desikachar. Margo has been a yoga practitioner and teacher for over twenty-four years. She has taught yoga in a variety of situations to specialty populations for fifteen years, principally prenatal yoga and private therapeutic yoga sessions.


While in India Margo became exposed to Ayurvedic medicine, which resonated with her so deeply that she pursue it's study diligently. Her Ayurvedic training was primarily through private and small group study with Dr. David Frawley, Dr. Vasant Lad, and Bri Maya Tiwari. Margo was mentored by Dr. Frawley for over ten years and received additional clinical training from Dr. Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute.


Her experience as an Ayurvedic practitioner and teacher specializing in women's health and becoming a mother to two children led her to author Yoga Mama Yoga Baby; Ayurveda and Yoga for a Healthy Pregnancy and Birth. While writing this book Margo was either pregnant or nursing, working as a consultant to pregnant and postpartum women and children, teaching prenatal yoga, hanging out in her herb garden or making herbal products for her small business.


Once her little ones were on their feet she wanted to grow into a larger clinical practice and reach more people but felt restricted by the limitations of practicing Ayurvedic medicine in the US today. Chinese medicine was the perfect compliment and she went on to earn a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. After over three and a half rigorous years of study including over 2,000 hours of classroom work and over 1,500 hours in clinical internships, she became proficient in all theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine including Chinese herbal medicine.
