Background:

My twenty-year career helping clients with embodied mindfulness techniques began with the call to teach Yoga. And it was just that: a clear calling to a life path at age 22 that continues to inspire me. I grew up in the Boston area and began the journey of studying the healing arts after graduating from Trinity college with a BA in English Literature. In the years since, I’ve continued as a student of Yoga and Buddhist psychology, became a massage therapist which taught me new nuances about the body-mind connection, studied western psychotherapy and, as a lifelong scholar, the next step was learning Ayurveda. A sister science to Yoga, Ayurvedic medicine is integral to the Yogic path. I studied at the premier school for Ayurveda outside of India, the Ayurvedic Institute, under world-renowned teacher, Dr. Vasant Lad. I’m currently pursing a graduate degree in the field of psychology.

It’s my great honor to share an individualized treatment approach that blends the disciplines of Yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, and psychology for a lasting, optimal outcome.
