My path into this work began with burnout, which turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me the courage to leave a corporate career, volunteer across Asia, and complete my yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India. What followed was a decade of going deeper: three Vipassana silent retreats, breathwork teacher training, professional training in therapeutic sound healing, and mindfulness mentor training with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. My work is both science-backed and spiritual because I've found you need both. I grew up in a high-control religion that left me disconnected from myself, and no amount of practice helped until I began doing real self-inquiry: not just to feel good, but to dissolve the beliefs standing between me and living in alignment with my values and true Self. I'm currently completing my MSW at UCF and hold an ICF-accredited coaching certification through the Martha Beck Institute. I've been a resident teacher at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden since 2017.
