After teaching yoga and embodiment for over 10 years, I became a clinical therapist whose practice combines trauma-informed somatics, mindfulness, and movement as medicine. I have been able to work with some of the most amazing people and places over my time in the wellness industry, partnering with major brands globally. I most identify with being a writer, a dreamer, and a lover. I currently have a book coming out in Fall 2024, and am excited to share more here.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I have always believed well-being is a human right, and create from a place of inclusivity and humanist theory. My work focuses on the intersection of well-being, somatic healing, self-worth, and the stories we tell ourselves with knowledge of systems and collective experiences.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I look for beauty and awe in all I do. How can I be the most thoughtful and heartful? In those ways, I nourish creativity through being present and curious. To be inspired is to be in spirit, which I find when I am traveling, journaling, noticing, and connecting with people I love. To live can be a creative act when infused with intention and presence.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
As an expert in ideation, compassion, and human connection through the lens of mental health and wellness, I am happy to help and contribute in any way you might need in such subject areas. The importance of community healing and human connection cannot be overstated in our journeys, and I'm happy to be present in this collective of women. I mentor and am happy to extend that offering to women here as well.
