you're ready for something different.
You're not here because I have 8,000+ hours of combined specialized training, teaching, and clinical experience, nor because I'm also a Fulbright scholar and educator, a professionally-trained historian, and a textile artist and clothing designer.
You're here because nothing else has worked—and something inside you knows this has to be different.
You're done with piecing it together, chasing protocols, and outsourcing your intuition.
You're ready to work with someone who not only has the professional training and credentials, but also the deep lived experience. Someone who knows what it feels like when nothing else has worked—and found a way out that doesn’t involve bypassing, burnout, or bullsh*t.
Someone who balances evidence-based medical science, ancient wisdom traditions, and an occasional spicy take on the Wellness Industrial Complex in one sentence.
I'm that person.
I can write a book on what it took to get here.
At my lowest, I was 80 pounds overweight and taking 13 different medications—prescribed by multiple physicians who didn't coordinate my care.
Not. One.
I felt like hot garbage for decades.
I've lived with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, major gut dysfunction, migraines, vertigo, and a lifelong, often debilitating neurodevelopmental condition that went undiagnosed for more than 40 years.
As a kid, I took hours to recover after hearing a vacuum cleaner or a fork fall on the floor.
Yes, hours.
My nervous system was in complete chaos—and nobody knew what to call it or how to help.
I was exhausted, quietly ashamed, and grasping for answers.
I was skeptical anyone or anything could help me.
I eventually stopped searching for the next fix—and instead, started listening.
My symptoms weren’t just annoyances. They were storytellers.
So I listened.
- I slowly lost the weight the old fashioned way—not by pushing harder, but by unlearning patterns that kept me disconnected.
- My long list of symptoms that once felt embarrassing and unmanageable started to improve, drastically. Instead of overriding them, I started honoring them as my teachers.
- My grief and trauma finally had space to breathe—and shifted into reverence and compassion
What changed wasn’t just my health. It was my relationship with myself.
I learned how to trust myself again.
Healing didn’t come from another supplement or advice from self-proclaimed experts on the internet.
It came when I stopped treating my body like a problem to solve—and started treating it like a partner to listen to.
Through intentional, personalized nervous system rewiring, trauma-sensitive yoga therapy, and evidence-based practices tailored to my actual life:
I got back my clarity, intuition—and my energy.
With that clarity, everything changed.
- I finally got the right diagnoses—and the aligned medical care I’d been missing for decades.
- I left a career that was draining my health and built a life that restores it.
- I stopped settling for survival and started creating from joy.
No AI health app, symptom tracker, wellness trend, or $2,000 weekend retreat could’ve led me here.
It took the kind of depth most practitioners aren't trained to offer.
I know you have that same wisdom within you—it just may need the right conditions to emerge.
"I've made more progress in just the past few months than 14 years of trying everything else."
-E.P., client
And perhaps most concretely: as an artist, I'm now able to put myself and my work in front of 50,000+ people several times a year at national art shows—using some of the same nervous system tools I now teach my clients.
I've reconnected with the parts of myself I abandoned, discarded, and rejected—so I can go after dreams that once seemed wild and unrealistic.
Why This Matters to You
Because I know what it takes.
I've been through the proverbial fire and I know what's possible on the other side.
My sacred work is to know my own suffering, so I can guide you through yours.
My background shapes everything about how I'll work with you
As an integrative Yoga therapist and holistic wellbeing practitioner, I work with your whole self to find the deeper, subtle patterns connecting physical health, energy, mental and emotional patterns, intuitive knowing, spiritual connection, lifestyle, season, and stage of life.
As a historian and Fulbright scholar, I construct coherent narratives from fragmented evidence—tracing patterns across time to find a throughline. I don't cherry-pick trends, but synthesize with depth and discernment.
As a textile artist, I understand transformation isn't linear. Sometimes you have to unravel before you rebuild. The rough, scratchy threads in your story aren't flaws—they're what give your life its unique texture and strength.
"It is empowering to have tools...that seem to create a shift in how I feel physically and emotionally ... I notice a shift in having more accepting thoughts, more happiness, and more acceptance. A feeling of ‘it is okay.’”
