As a coach, healer, educator and musician, I am endlessly fascinated by the intricate layers of being human. My work is a synthesis of 20+ years collecting knowledge and tools to support people through healing, transformation, and bringing creative work to life.

So much of the wisdom we need to sculpt our lives is evident in the tissues of our body. I began teaching yoga in 2009 and have studied with incredible yogis including Ana Forest, Max Strom, Matthew Sanford and Rama Jyoti. My background includes experience as a massage therapist and certification in Pranic Healing energy work and working with the unconscious mind.

I have the great privilege to study human anatomy through hands-on dissection at the Institute for Anatomical Research with Gil Hedley. Interacting with a cadaver – the physical artifact of one’s life – is incredibly intimate work infinite in its teachings. 

I naturally gravitated to end-of-life work after caring for my mother and grandmother during their deaths. There were elements of the dying process I wish I had known in advance so I could have comforted them more effectively. I now do everything in my power to alleviate stress that is woven into the end of life for dying persons and their loved ones through grief support, death education, and transformative listening.

I draw from a rich well as a flutist with extensive performance experience including a tour with flute legend, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. I have showcased at Folk Alliance International, the National Flute Association, and presented university workshops across the US. My education includes undergraduate work at The Hartt School of Music with John Wion, graduate work at The California Institute of the Arts, and graduate work at The Irish World Academy of Music and Dance.

In addition to my brilliant teachers listed above, I am a devoted student of plant medicine and nature having undertaken multiple year-long studies of the natural world through listening, photography, and ritual practice. I have worked deeply with White Birch and Tobacco in a Master Tree Diet led by Jordan Mockingbird and am currently completing an academic certificate in The Art, Science, and Spirituality of Water with Veda Austin.

I’m based in western Massachusetts with my wonderful partner and very sassy cat.
