Welcome
I am a Harvard Divinity School alumna, where I specialized in Contemplative Science & Hindu/Buddhist Studies in partnership with Harvard Medical School, studying the intersection of spirituality and healing through yoga and meditation.
With over 25 years of mind-body-spirit training, I support women’s wellbeing and offer corporate wellness programs for organizations, medical professionals, and schools, while serving as a Dharma Teacher authorized to teach through Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield’s Awareness Training Institute.
A classically trained Pilates instructor, Yoga Therapist, and former ballet dancer, I integrate kinesiology, integrative yoga therapy, and contemplative practice into a holistic approach rooted in both scholarship and lived experience.
