Let's dive in... 

This is my journey of self-transformation and exploring different practices 

Here, we are pioneering a higher order of nondual embodiment between Spirit and Soma (the body) in a methodology I call "embodied mysticism." I offer a unique approach to guiding you into the power of your sensorial consciousness and relationship with enspirited matter, aka your ability to embody the bridge between the form and formless. In doing so, you evolve your sensorial consciousness using your body's senses and movement as your intuitive channel. With grace and grit, you can expect to learn how to move energy through your body and immerse your cells and soul in alchemical rhythms to become an empowered self-healer while futuring an evolved feminine embodiment.

As humans, we've lost our connection to our body's intelligence, plain and simple. For thousands of years, we evolved to rely on our senses, but what we have now that we didn't have back then is the ability to make meaning of what our senses are trying to tell us about our emotional states. What our senses can offer us today are keys to the physiological kingdom that has all the answers to why we do what we do because we aren't feeling what we need to be feeling. The world spins further into chaos because we are deeply disconnected from being able to identify, process, express, and integrate our emotions.

We are also painfully disconnected from Spirit - a formless, life-giving, loving energy that flows through us, giving us the ability to breathe in and out every day, experience miracles with whatever is on the other side of the veil, and even guide us through our darkest times. I'm speaking about something different than religion. Connecting to Spirit is so personal, so uncomplicated - in the Earth and the Water all around you. The more we isolate ourselves in cities, the less we are able to allow our nervous systems to regulate with natural vibrations we evolved to be connected to and open to our intuitive channel of Spirit that we deserve to flow through us. 

So now, a bit about me: my life has been beautifully filled with support and opportunities, and I’ve lived through indescribable physical and emotional pain. I had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis when I was 17 years old and continue to have repercussions today. It challenges me to love my body and accept its limitations daily. My other experience of pivotal pain was watching my father die. My journey through grief has brought me closer to what I believe the true essence of Love and meaning are meant to be. I’m continually inspired to help others the more I experience pain because I know many suffer just as I do. I have built a personal practice founded in science and spirituality, bridging Spirit, body, and mind to hold myself accountable for my continuous healing.

I’m a San Francisco native - New England boarding school grad - moved to San Diego to study Anthropology - stayed on at USD, and finished my first Master's degree in Leadership Studies focusing on the different processes of self-transformation and group learning. Shortly after, I suffered another round of mysterious and debilitating health complications while I took care of my father enduring chemotherapy. After our home burned down in the 2017 Napa fires and he died 11 days later from melanoma cancer, I grieved harder than I ever imagined possible until I discovered dance/movement therapy - a lifeline. I moved to Boulder, CO for my second Masters in Psychosomatic Dance/Movement Therapy, but left the program after 2 years because I realized I couldn't do my work the way I wanted to as a licensed therapist (sometimes people who attend my classes and retreats are friends), and the program wasn’t aligned with my values.

I live by the belief that we go through challenges to learn how to overcome them so that we may help others who are also suffering.  

The way to happiness is through contributing to others’ happiness. I was a pretty confused and angry human before I was introduced to Buddhism a decade ago. Not only do meditation and Dharma studies change how I respond to life, but it also helps me cut through all the unnecessary suffering of my delusions and false narratives WITH Love instead of berating myself or blaming others. This Work we dedicate ourselves to can be pretty ugly and dark, but the continual process of perspective, trust and surrender, and fierce compassion make the intolerable easier to explore.

For the last decade+, I have been on an unrelenting journey to figure out how to serve others best—beginning with leading a meditation group as an undergraduate at the University of San Diego and then continuing during my Master's at the School of Leadership and Education Sciences while working with a non-profit called Compassion It, which educated me in compassion training. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to share these practices with many undergraduate and graduate students, co-instructing a graduate student course (Mindfulness and Leadership) at my school after graduation, leading workshops in corporate settings, and even bringing my creation of Compassionate Leadership to Buddhist nuns in Indonesia, Vietnam, and India. 

Now, I blend my academic background with lived wisdom - meeting people with the very real, human needs for expression, sensuality, grief, and spiritual embodiment. There's so much I hope to educate about the body's intelligence!
