About

In a culture that mistakes exhaustion for productivity, most people have lost the thread back to themselves. The path back runs through the body - simple, grounding practices that regulate, restore, and reconnect. That's the territory I work in. My role isn't to fix what's wrong - it's to create the conditions where people remember what's already right within them. My path here has been shaped by years of work with people inside organizations, and by my course of study in health promotion, behavior change, and mindfulness education. It's also been shaped by my time serving on the organizing team for Dreamforce's mindfulness programming - including direct work with Thich Nhat Hanh's monastic lineage - and gatherings like Wisdom 2.0. Small Acts of Wellbeing is my flagship offering: a 6-week workplace wellbeing program that helps teams reconnect with what actually keeps them well - not another wellness perk, but a practical reset in how people work and relate to their own bodies under pressure. Most recently delivered for a Bay Area law firm. I also work one-on-one with people, using the body as a way to learn our needs on a basic level - the same grounding approach applied individual
