Welcome to your next step toward well-being - I am currently accepting individual and corporate clients!

Together, we'll utilize the evidence-based practice of your choice, be it a program specifically tailored to your team's goals and needs or addressing a specific aspect of health through integrative health coaching, individual-level instruction on meditation, or therapeutic yoga. I am committed to serving diverse populations in various clinical and community-based settings with integrated care.

During the pandemic: I completed an MPH at the Milken Institute School of Public Health of George Washington University and a related Practicum Program Internship with the Mental Health and Substance Use Unit at the Pan American Health Organization; assisted with Mutual Aid efforts, and; reviewed emergency grant funding applications for both the Baltimore Nonprofit Relief Fund as well as Johns Hopkins' Urban Health Institute's impacted research grant efforts.

Before the COVID pandemic, I worked with a team at Johns Hopkins in their Integrative Medicine course required for first-year medical students. I also supported their breast cancer patients and spoke at their lung cancer patient symposium. While with Hopkins, my colleague and I presented a poster highlighting our work at the International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health.

I also have a Master's Degree from the Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University, and more recently trained in Mental Health First Aid. I am a Duke Integrative Medicine trained National Board Certified Integrative Health Coach, a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, an Internationally Certified Integrative Yoga Therapist, and have earned the Yoga Alliance's designations of YACEP, E-RYT200, and RYT500.

When you become my client, I support optimal health through the most challenging health-related decisions, including end-of-life care. I received scholarships to attend the Integrative Medicine for the Under Served Conference and the Buddhist Contemplative Care Symposium at the Garrison Institute from the New York Zen Center. I am committed to the most vulnerable across the lifespan.

Thanks to Yoga Warriors International, for the three years before the pandemic, I supported those experiencing combat stress, post-traumatic stress, and homelessness at the Maryland Center for Veteran Education and Training. Please know that I am trauma-informed and understand resiliency and post-traumatic growth.

I have led special events, workshops and taught ongoing yoga and meditation classes nationally via Zoom and across the state of Maryland and the District, including the following locations: Medstar's Shepherd Clinic and Joy Wellness Center, the League for People with Disabilities, the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Baltimore, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and the Maryland State Education Association, the Intentional Healing Space, led workshops for the staff of Johns Hopkins' Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and the Red Cross, taught yoga before Tara Brach's lectures through the Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC, offered public events at the Baltimore Museum of Art, taught yoga to the youth fellows in Congressman Elijah Cummings' program, guided meditation to the young people learning to code at the Druid Hill YMCA, taught yoga before school at Waverly Elementary Middle School, provided restorative yoga for those involved with contemplative care at the Shambhala Center, introduced pop up yoga at the Cloisters through Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts, and substituted for other yoga teachers at locations such as Montgomery Park, Aspen Institute, and even for the Skipjacks hockey team.

Before this work, I served the nonprofit sector through fundraising efforts while running my own production company for a decade. I have cultivated a personal practice for over two decades through meditation, MBSR, and various forms of yoga (including Kripalu, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Bikram). In addition to being a yoga enthusiast, I am an avid cyclist, kayaker, runner, and even a Josh Billings triathlete. I enjoy well-crafted books, documentary films, and adventures in a sixteen-foot homemade wooden kayak along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
