About

At heart, I am a seeker, with a forever deep calling to explore the full range of the human soul. This has led to what feels like many lives lived -- bartender in NYC, special needs teacher in the Bronx, sailing instructor to kids in fishing communities in El Salvador, boatbuilding program director for youth in Philly, Ayurvedic health counselor, yoga teacher to both men and women in the prison system - and now yoga in a dojo. The thread through my life has been my seeing of the inherent good and potential in people, and my own capacity to sit in the darkest of places and not give up.

With the death of my mother from cancer in 2014 and the surfacing of unworked trauma from my dad’s killing when I was 13, I entered into the biggest work of my life. Along with therapy, yoga, and my own personal medicine work, the Enneagram has been invaluable in my healing and my understanding of self and others. I received my professional certification via Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy in 2023.

And my cherry on top: I grew up making music and singing, and have returned to this creative act with full force. It is here that my soul fully expresses - and I’ve been deeply enjoying weaving it into the inner work I offer and my yoga classes.
