About Me

I’ve held many roles—teacher, mentor, guide, coach—but the transformational work I offer can’t be defined by a title. It’s rooted in presence, and shaped by experience.

For two decades, I served as a high school special education teacher, helping students with learning complexities communicate more fully with themselves and the world. Alongside that path, I’ve spent nearly 20 years immersed in the worlds of yoga, breathing and movement arts, meditation, and experiential therapies. I am strongly influenced by the zen tradition, having formally trained extensively for the last dozen years on koans with my primary teacher, zen master Henry Shukman. As my own path has continued to deepen and open, inspired by many mentors and masters, I have trained hundreds of teachers and facilitators in varied yoga, breathing and mindfulness interventions and approaches.

My work supports a wide range of people—parents, professionals, CEO’s, creatives, and athletes—guiding them to integrate awareness, embodiment, and self-trust into their lives. I draw from a broad scope of diverse traditions, blending mindfulness, somatic wisdom, breath-based tools and insight dialogue to meet each person where they are.

This is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

I call it Presence Resonance, a way of being where inner stillness amplifies outward, touching every part of life. As we cultivate that resonance within, we transform how we move through the world.

“Our angst becomes our liberation,” but “no one will take your seat for you” (Dennis Kelly Junpo Roshi).

If you’re ready to explore life from the inside out, I offer a space of deep, intentional, one-on-one work. Together, we uncover what’s already within you—and let it lead the way.
