I refer to myself as a serial experimentalist, trying to use life’s curveballs as opportunities to learn. As a dynamically disabled person living with chronic illness, I have explored and expanded my knowledge of the body, guided by curiosity and a desire to understand myself more fully. By nature a researcher and student, I’m interested in the increasingly smaller gap we perceive between mind and body, art + science.

My Crohn’s disease diagnosis lead me to nutritional therapy training, while my lifelong passion for dance evolved into a yoga teacher training. When I became interested in the relationship between my decades-long use of the pill and my symptoms, I stumbled into the world of fertility awareness. And now, as a member of the long-COVID community, I’m learning more about the nervous system and its integral role in mind body health.

These experiences have been bittersweet blessings, both deeply painful and expansive lessons. I am endlessly fascinated by the interconnectivity of our internal ecosystems with the external environments we inhabit. I’m passionate about passing on knowledge that allows the individual to know themselves more wholly. And I am honored by the opportunity to assemble my life’s teachings into education that connects us.
