Raised in New York, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from James Madison University in Virginia, followed by a career for several years as a fitness and wellness expert. My intrigue around well-being along with my own challenges in facing my personal demons, led me towards the healing arts, where I was introduced to breathwork meditation.
Breathwork became the catalyst for a journey of self discovery and a fascination with the complexity and brilliance of our human existence.
Since 2010, I have trained with healer David Elliott, a pioneer in the breathwork/healing space. I am one of a handful of teachers that is qualified to teach David's Healer Training Level 1 — which focuses on the fundamentals of healing work and learning to develop and trust your intuition.
Amazed by how something as simple as one's breath can hold such profound healing effects, I’ve directed my focus to helping people connect to their own intuitive voice, teaching them to trust this internal guidance system and understand their own innate healing abilities.
I believe our bodies are incredible messengers and allies, and the more we learn to listen and communicate with them, the more comfortable in our skin, at ease and vital we will feel.
In 2012, I pioneered the development and nurturance of the first consistent breathwork meditation class in Venice, CA. This class gathered together and advanced some of the current top breathwork practitioners in the LA area.
In 2014, I moved to Aspen, CO where I experienced the challenge and growth of bringing this practice to a completely new community that was unfamiliar with any form of this work. One of my greatest successes with this, was when I was asked to bring the breathwork meditation practice into the Aspen Jail System. Teaching a weekly class to inmates became a highlight of mine.
Recently, I have come full-circle and have found my way back to New York, where I am currently working on finishing up my memoir; a very honest version of my own personal healing journey. I teach online experiential breathwork events that are accessible to people all over the world, and I continue to develop and innovate new workshops and classes. There are a few other very exciting creative projects that I have in the works and I look forward to sharing them with you in the near future. So keep on the lookout!
