About Me

Through restorative practices like meditation, yoga and dance, I help busy, overstressed people lower stress and find more peace and joy in their daily lives. 

​

The practices I share are not only scientifically proven to improve well-being—they've helped me profoundly on my own healing journey out of debilitating stress symptoms, physical and emotional exhaustion, and crippling grief. 

​

I wish I'd had these tools sooner in my life—and I want to help others discover their immense impact as well. To this end, I offer a wide range of programs and formats, all aimed at making these practices easy and accessible. 

​

This includes group classes, workshops, virtual sessions, retreats, trainings and corporate wellness. I'm also humbled and honored to lead the Reiki Program for the Johns Hopkins/Sibley Hospital Cancer Survivorship Program, where we empower cancer patients, survivors and caregivers with the profoundly powerful tool of self-Reiki.

​

I completed 200-hour trainings in both meditation and vinyasa yoga, advanced restorative yoga training with renowned expert Jillian Pransky, and Reiki Master Teacher training with Libby Barnett. I'm currently pursuing an additional 300-hour yoga teacher training at the Kripalu Center in Western Massachusetts, a place where some of my deepest healing has transpired. I've also taught movement for more than two decades across the DC region and am a lifelong writer, including many years as a local arts & entertainment journalist.

"The guided meditation was excellent. I'm usually skeptical of my ability to really 'tune out,' but this showed me I can indeed do it and it can be extremely regenerative."

Corporate Session Participant, DC

Based in the greater Washington, DC area in Northern Virginia, I offer meditation, mindfulness, restorative yoga, dance, Reiki and other stress-reduction and self-care programs locally, regionally and virtually. In addition to group classes, I also offer private 1:1, small-group and corporate wellness sessions and women's retreats.
