About me


I'm a seeker, a learner, an experiencer.
I am ever growing and changing and expanding.
As are you.

My Mission

To support individuals and organizations identify and take steps to embody their values and authentically show up for themselves and their communities.

My Values

At our core we are all connected to universal wisdom. We are an expression of life flowing through us. Of love and joy and peace and struggle and anger and grief. 

What if we just let it all flow and dance rather than trying to control it?

Since a young age, I have been fascinated with our human experience and what it means to be alive now. That curiosity has led me to explore religious studies, yoga asana, mindfulness, meditation, anthropology, Buddhism, many energy healing modalities including Reiki, kirtan, Bhakti, and tantra teachings from all over the world.

 

In addition to being a lifelong student, I have been sharing these lessons for over 15 years. I am a writer, a yoga, mindfulness, and meditation guide, and a Reiki intuitive energy healer. I often lead retreats at Ratna Ling Buddhist Retreat Center in Sonoma County, CA and facilitate corporate self-care and mindfulness workshops both in person and virtually. And I work with individuals one on one to assist in uncovering a path to their own inner wisdom and healing. 

 

I have an MBA in Sustainable Business from the University of Oregon where I learned to help companies live their values and be more mindful of their presence in the world. I worked successfully in corporate sustainability positions with companies like Patagonia, Deckers Corp, and Toad&Co before moving into consulting in 2020. Since then, I have collaborated with professionals at all levels, from small nonprofits to large public companies. 

 

My background in environmental management and passion for being in nature has deeply shaped my teachings as I support individuals, groups, and organizations connect with and learn to identify and take steps to embody their values and authentically show up for themselves and their communities. I also believe deeply in the power of play and joy as a vital means to access our path in this life.

 

I grew up in Portland, Oregon and am proud to have been shaped by the mountains and rivers of the Northwest. I have also lived and studied across the US and internationally in Argentina, Costa Rica, England, Bali, and Mexico. I currently call Ventura, California and Bend, Oregon home.
