About me

Twenty-five years of practice as a pediatric emergency medicine physician has cultivated my deep desire to discover and share healing for the mind, body, and spirit. I love combining a Western medical knowledge base with Eastern healing practices.

My journey began 20 years ago with Reiki training and a yoga practice as a means to find a sense of calm well-being. The beauty and power of this path eventually led me to train in Urban Zen Integrative Therapy. This modality combines restorative yoga poses, pranayama, essential oil therapy, guided body awareness, meditation, and Reiki to help participants experience moments of peace amidst the chaos of life. My passion for offering tangible tools for healing also led to a 60-hour certification in Yoga Nidra, a powerful and systematic guided meditation practice.

Come and join me for a session that integrates asana, pranayama, guided meditation, Yoga Nidra, essential oils, restorative poses, and Reiki to accompany you on your journey back to your true self. My absolute favorite pose is Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall) outdoors with the sky stretching out above me!
